Middlesbrough - SOUTH BANK the NO GO ZONE - BEVANLEE ROAD.

[goldkhw]

My Dad was from Middlesbrough. He always cheered for their football team. I know nothing about it. My Mum thought his accent was unbelievable. She was drawn to him because of his appearance and his accent. First I've ever seen of a street in Middlesbrough. It was always just a name we all heard. I'm going to go and look up some Middlesbrough videos on YouTube now. First time for everything.

That used to be the posh part of SB… with the ‘Dutch Houses’. I was brought up in Surrey Street in early 60s, which used to be where the old railway station was, it’s now a traveler’s site. South Bank was a vibrant industrial town back then. Lots of work… my dad worked 43 years at Smiths Dock, as did I every summer. My grandparents used to run a corner shop, coach trips, Xmas clubs and fostered a great sense of community. People started moving out late 60s. The A66 cut through the town and cut it off from rest of Teesside conurbation. It’s been starved of investment, lack of jobs, lots of anti-social people dumped there by councils.

Born and bred in South Bank. Back in the 50s and sixties, Bevanlee Road was in the posh end of the town, My mother used to drool over the "Dutch Houses", which were bigger and posher than the street house that I grew up in. I also lived in North Ormesby for a couple of years before I emigrated to Canada in 1967. Thankfully, my mother, who was living close to St. Peter's in her final years, has long passed away. She'd be horrified to see the conditions in South Bank and Middlesbrough these days. I had a happy childhood there

Head to Linthorpe and over the border Middlehaven way Billy, see the Transporter bridge and the Riverside Stadium, Stewart Park in Marton is where Captain Cook was born and it's near where Danny Gee was spotted👍
