The County Borough of Teesside was formed on 1st April 1968 by the amalgamation of the County Borough of Middlesbrough, the Borough of Redcar, the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees, the Borough of Thornaby, the majority of the Billingham Urban District, the Eston Urban District, part of the Stockton Rural District and some smaller areas from other surrounding districts. The entirety of Teesside, including the parts north of the River Tees historically in County Durham, was associated with the North Riding of Yorkshire for lieutenancy and other purposes and is therefore placed in this section. |
|
|
The ancient ship represents the area's long association with shipping - both for trade and building. The two crucibles symbolise the steel industry and the two white vertical rails between them are a reminder that the first passenger railway in the world had its terminus at Stockton. Between the rails is a basilisk, whose stare turned people to stone, representing Teesside's vast modern chemical industry. |
