Stockton-on-Tees

Stockton-on-Tees stretches along the northern bank of the River Tees, encompassing both urban developments and green spaces across its territory.

The establishment of the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825 marked this location as the terminus of the first permanent steam locomotive passenger line.

The weekly market, operating since 1310, fills the main street with local vendors selling fresh produce, handmade items, and regional specialties.

The town center features multiple shopping areas, transportation hubs, and municipal services, connected by regular bus routes and rail connections.

A fossil hippopotamus tooth discovered near the town in 1958 represents the northernmost evidence of these animals in Britain.
