Route of the Esk Valley Railway

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough is a lively modern city offering great shopping, entertainment and spectator sports, as well as a major art gallery. The Esk Valley Railway goes right into its heart, making this the ideal way to visit Middlesbrough; and by the same means, residents of this city can, quickly and comfortably, reach some of Yorkshire's most spectacular countryside, or travel further to the historic seaside town of Whitby.

Designed by William Peachey, a prominent Victorian architect, the imposing Middlesbrough railway station was opened in 1877. It has recently benefited from extensive refurbishment.

In the Town Hall Square, take a look at the statue of John Vaughan. One of the bronze plaques on the base of this monument shows a sailing ship, ironworks and a very early locomotive hauling wagons of iron ore or coal, thus commemorating the industrial heritage of Middlesbrough and the origin of its railways.

MIMA

Centre Square, Middlesbrough, TS1 2AZ
The Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA) is a short walk from the railway station. Surrounded by a new public square and itself housed in a £14.2 million landmark building, designed by Erick van Egeraat Associated Architects, MIMA brings together the city's art collections for the first time and hosts temporary exhibitions of fine and applied arts from 1900 to the present day. Admission is free.

Transporter Bridge

Spanning the River Tees amongst Middlesbrough's docks, the Transporter Bridge, opened in 1911, is an impressive landmark visible for miles around, and it has become the best-known image associated with this city. At 851 feet, it is the longest operational transporter bridge anywhere in the world. Its cantilever construction has three main spans, giving its unique appearance. The bridge is effectively two almost independent structures joined at the centre. Each half of the bridge has an "anchor" span of 140 feet and then cantilevers across the river 285 feet from the tower leg to meet its twin from the opposite bank. The passenger gondola is suspended by steel cables and runs on a wheel and rail system approximately 160 feet above the river. The Transporter Bridge provides a regular quarter-hourly service between Middlesbrough and Port Clarence for 18 hours a day.
