Middlesbrough, Industrial port city in North Yorkshire, England

Located on the south bank of the River Tees, Middlesbrough extends across an urban area with modern buildings, historical structures, and industrial facilities.

The settlement transformed from a small farming township of 25 people in 1801 to a major industrial center following the railway development in 1830.

The Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art presents contemporary exhibitions throughout the year, offering different perspectives on international and regional artistic creation.

The town connects to major cities through direct rail services from Middlesbrough station, with regular departures to Newcastle, York, and Leeds.

The Tees Transporter Bridge, constructed in 1911, remains one of the few working transporter bridges globally, moving vehicles across the river in a suspended gondola.
