Top Attractions in Middlesbrough

Dorman Museum

Dorman Museum is a general museum located in Linthorpe within the borough of Middlesbrough and the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. From its official opening on 1 July 1904 initial thematical leanings were towards the natural sciences, although galleries of the local Linthorpe Pottery, and of the history of industrial and wartime Middlesbrough, have since encroached on this emphasis. The remains of the original Victorian/Edwardian collection of stuffed and mounted animals is now in a single room, the Nelson Room, and appears to consist of the insect collections in the original cabinets, and various stuffed and mounted birds. The museum was founded by Sir Arthur Dorman of the Dorman Long engineering company in honour of his son George Lockwood Dorman, who died of enteric fever at Kroonstad in the Second Boer War. It is one of two cultural institutions run by Middlesbrough Borough Council along with the Captain Cook Birthplace Museum. Having undergone major refurbishment it reopened in 2003 and is home to a wide variety of collections.

Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, Nunthorpe is served by Nunthorpe and Gypsy Lane railway stations, both of which are on the Esk Valley Line from Middlesbrough to Whitby. The railway line here forms the boundary between the boroughs of Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland, both of which are unitary authorities and are associated with the county of North Yorkshire for ceremonial purposes.

Captain Cook Birthplace Museum

Captain Cook Birthplace Museum is a public museum located in Stewart Park in Marton, Middlesbrough within the borough of Middlesbrough and the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. It is one of three institutions run by the Middlesbrough Museum Gallery Service along with the Dorman Museum and the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art . The museum opened in 1978, the 250th anniversary of the birth in the same spot of British naval explorer and circumnavigator Captain James Cook. A biographical museum, it champions and surveys his life, times and subsequent journeys. Prior to its existence, visitors to the Park had long already been enlightened as to the locations historical significance by the erection by local industrialist and mayor Henry Bolckow of a granite urn in the 1850s bearing Cooks name, within what were then the grounds of his own residence, Marton Hall. Marton Hall was destroyed by fire in 1960 during demolition, with only a surviving stone loggia a telltale sign as to its former existence. The museum itself comprises some of the modest Cook-related collections outside of the ownership of the major national and international collections; including household items and a speculative reconstruction of the birthplace cottage that was swept away amid the landscaping process for the Marton Lodge, home to the Rudd family, which stood here until 1793. Also on call to the visitor are a series of interactive displays and temporary travelling exhibitions as well as a cafe, gift shop, education suite and resources and archive room. A second major refurbishment was undertaken in 1998 whereupon Sir David Attenborough reopened it to the public. External to the museum can be found an information board in deference to Martons position as the starting point for the Captain Cook Country Tour, a product of the Cleveland-wide Captain Cook Tourism Association.

As well as offices and conference rooms, it contains a still intact, though obsolete, courtroom and a sizeable theatre. The basement crypt also serves as a concert hall. It is built in a revived "French Gothic" style, with courtyard elevations in a "Domestic Revival" style. It was one of the last large Gothic style town halls to be built in England, towards the end of the 19th century. The town hall element has one storey centre with two-storey end pavilions. The building features statuary by W. Margeston of Chelsea. To the east are a complex of modern civic buildings linked by a bridge passage.

The 12-acre ground, which also includes two rugby pitches, was established in 1932 and is the home ground of Middlesbrough Cricket Club, who were founded in 1875. The main pavilion and most of the banking which surrounds the playing area were built in 1953 and Yorkshire CCC played their first match there, against Glamorgan CCC in 1956. In 1967, there were 13,100 spectators in attendance to watch the County Championship match between Yorkshire and Warwickshire CCC. Yorkshires decision to centralise their games at Headingley saw them play their last match at Acklam Park in 1996 against Surrey CCC. Yorkshire were bowled out for 23 by Hampshire CCC in 1965 when Butch White took 6 for 10, but the best bowling figures on the ground belong to Arnie Sidebottom who took 8 for 72 against Leicestershire CCC in 1986. Two batsmen scored double centuries, Alan Wells making 253 not out for Sussex CCC in 1991 and Mark Waugh 207 not out for Essex CCC the previous year.

Acklam Hall

Acklam Hall is a Restoration mansion in the former village, and now suburb, of Acklam in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, England. It is a Grade I listed building. It was built by William Hustler between 1680–83. A long-held, albeit unverified family tradition noted that the Hall was subject to a royal progress by the then-sovereign, King Charles II, in 1684. It continued to house the Hustlers until the conceding of ownership to Middlesbrough Corporation in 1928. Since 1935 it has been in public ownership and has been used as a grammar school and a comprehensive school-known as Kings Manor School, with the addition of several modern buildings to the grounds. It is now owned by Middlesbrough College and Middlesbrough Council. Middlesbrough College inherited the site and continued to use it as a college building. Internally the building features a magnificent main staircase with balustrade carved in spirals and helixes. The ceilings in the front part of the house feature many stucco decorations. There is a fine rose window in the roof at the top of the staircase. The front room in the second story spans the width of the house. It was probably a reception/ballroom originally, and has served various functions in education. It was the Assembly Hall for Acklam Hall Grammar School until the opening of the new hall around 1958. It then became the schools main library. Subsequently the library moved to a new building, later demolished, and the space became the staff common room. In front of the hall stretches the Avenue of Trees, with two rows of large oak trees forming a corridor which was likely to have been the route by which visitors originally approached the Hall. These trees stretch from Acklam Road to Hall Drive – a distance of around 0.5 miles.

Middlesbrough meteorite

The Middlesbrough Meteorite fell in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, England on March 14, 1881. The meteorite fell in the afternoon, hitting the ground around 3:35 pm. Although there were reports that sound generated as the object travelled through the Earth's atmosphere was heard in some areas of Yorkshire, the meteorite was unusual in that the sonic boom that would normally be associated with a meteorite entering the atmosphere was not heard by anyone who witnessed the fall, nor were there were any reports of either a fireball or smoke trail. The site of the impact was at the railway siding Pennymans's Siding, close to the site of the now demolished St. Luke's Hospital . The impact was witnessed by workmen only yards away, who heard a "rushing or roaring" sound followed by thud, as the meteorite hit a nearby embankment, leaving a hole described by the astronomer Alexander Herschel as a "round vertical hole into which a man's arm might be thrust". The meteorite had penetrated to a depth of about 30 cm and was described as "new milk warm" to the touch by the workmen when they retrieved the object. Herschel, who was then Professor of Physics and Experimental Sciences at Durham College of Physical Science in Newcastle upon Tyne, rushed to Middlesbrough on hearing the news to supervise the recovery and examination of the meteorite. By experimentation, replicating the conditions of the impact, he determined the speed of the object at the time was 412 feet per second . This result was viewed as partial confirmation of a theory of the Italian astronomer Giovanni Schiaparelli that meteorites lost most of their cosmic velocity, the velocity they had before entering the Earth's atmosphere, due to air resistance at a high altitude in the atmosphere. The Middlesbrough meteorite is classified as a chondrite. It is approximately 4,500 million years old and was formed at the same time as the Earth and the solar system. It is approximately 6 inches in diameter, weighs 3 pounds 8.75 ounces and has a crust of unusual thickness - it was recovered in one piece. A 3D scan of the object was made by NASA scientists in 2010. Due to Middlesbrough not having a museum at the time of its fall to Earth, the meteorite was handed over to the Yorkshire Museum where it has been ever since. In March 2011, the 130th anniversary of its fall to Earth, it was lent to the town's Dorman Museum where it was put on display for several weeks.

Centre North East

Centre North East, formerly Corporation House, was built in 1974. It is, at 19 storeys and 70.7 m , the tallest building in Middlesbrough and the north east of England. In 1996, as Corporation House, it was purchased by The Marchday Group Plc. Apart from the ground floor and basement (which hold a pub and nightclub), the building's primary purpose is office space; the total amount of which is 125,000 sq ft (11,600 m2). The main two lessees, British Telecom and the Secretary of State, had under four years to expiry as of their purchase by Marchday. When they had vacated, an extensive refurbishment took place in which the building was modernised both internally and externally including new exterior lighting. In 2004, Centre North East was fully let and sold to the Kenmore Property who went into administration late 2009. In 2009, companies using the building include Erimus Housing and the COPC registered Garlands Call Centres. In May 2010 Garlands Call Centres went into administration and employee numbers within the building dropped to just over 50. In the Summer of 2010 the building was sold to Commercial Estates Group. In January 2012 significant refurbishment work was undertaken to interior communal areas of the building, including a newly refurbished reception, electronic entrance doors, and redesigned CNE logo. Current tenants include: Walkabout, Blu Bar, Basement Nightclub, the Department for Work and Pensions Tribunal Service, Fabrick Housing Group and Siemens Enterprise Communications. The building was bought in March 2016 by Cliff Court Deveplments.
