History of the Tees

There are many fascinating stories about the history of the River Tees - from the bustling activity of the old port at Yarm; to interesting information about Stockton Castle, built in the Norman era and now the site of the Swallow Hotel in Stockton Town Centre.

Stockton Local History Group has very kindly provided a very thoughtful insight into the River Tees along the Stockton Borough.  This is available to download below.

But that's not all, take a look at the links to some great photographs of the River Tees from years gone by; and we hope you'll be delighted with film footage of the River Tees in 1970 - things certainly have improved since then!
