Zetland Buildings, Middlesbrough


Zetland Buildings in Middlesbrough are offices, of c.1872, in 3 builds, in a Venician Gothic style by W.H. Blessley (Middlesbrough). They are a distinctive concave-curved terrace with right end convex-curved into Zetland Place. The name Zetland refers to Thomas Dundas (1795-1873), 2nd Earl of Zetland, Lord Lieutenant of the North Riding of Yorkshire from 1838 until his death. He was a key regional magnate and landowner at nearby Marske and Redcar when area around Exchange Place in Middlesbrough was laid out. Zetland Buildings were refurbished for commercial office use, as part of the Middlesbrough High Street Heritage Action Zone - a 2020-2024 project by Middlesbrough Council and Historic England to regenerate the historic town center. Nos. 2, 2A, 4 and Zetland Buildings, are Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
