History of Eston

Eston Timeline

A new trolleybus route in Middlesbrough, linking Grangetown (Fabian Road terminus) and Normanby via  Eston, was opened on the 31st of March 1968. This was the very last trolleybus route to be built in Britain. It was part of the Teesside Railless Traction Board, and built to service the growing population, with new housing developments around the east of Middlesbrough. (Source: Alan Murray-Rust, Geograph)

St Helens Church at Beamish was opened to the public by the Bishop of Durham on the 12th November 2015. The 12th century church was previously located in Eston, but had been disused since 1962. In 1998 the remains of the church, which had been damaged in an arson attack, were removed to Beamish openair museum. Reconstruction of the church at Beamish began in 2011. A memorial service for Beamish’s founder Dr Frank Atkinson CBE was held in the church on the 9th of May 2015.
