Middlesbrough Dock, Middlehaven
-
Description
Originally designed by renowned Engineer William Cubitt and opened in 1842, the dock was built for the Stockton to Darlington railway as a port for coal. Middlesbrough owes its substantial growth to the dock, bringing in coal and transporting steel. The site was closed in 1979, then in the 1980’s the Teesside Development Corporation planned its regeneration. The site has undergone immense change in recent years with the new Middlesbrough College, offices and the ‘Temenos’ art installation. Some of the original furniture has been retained, such as bollards and capstans. The dock has group value with the nearby listed Dock Clock Tower. The association with William Cubitt means that Middlesbrough Dock can be associated with many other significant docks such as Ellesmere Port.
