Inhaltsangabe

Middlesbrough boasts a rich, diverse history and heritage that brings together tales of unprecedented industrial development, rapid urban expansion, the cultivation of new cultural institutions and a proud sporting heritage that has helped put the town on the map. As Middlesbrough expanded from a small hamlet of just 25 people in 1801 to a town with a population exceeding 90,000 a century later, new landmarks emerged and communities grew to create a distinct, industrial 'boom town' forged in iron and steel.
In Middlesbrough: The Postcard Collection the author has drawn on a remarkable selection of old postcards to give a pictorial record of life in Middlesbrough in the past. Although some of the historical Middlesbrough seen in these views has been lost, many landmarks have remained and will be familiar today. The postcards show the changes Middlesbrough's fabric and its community adapting and changing over the course of this period. This fascinating collection of images will be of interest to those who have lived in Middlesbrough or know it well, as well as those interested in postcards and industrial heritage.
