Middlesbrough

Has yet again been dragged down to gutter levels.

After "extensive" research and information gathering it seems that Middlesbrough has topped the list of 10 places "no one in the right mind with an ounce of self respect" would visit.

Come on my fellow Middlesbrough dwelling fabsters. Say something good about our town!

For starters. The steel and manufacture of the San Francisco Golden Gate bridge the Sydney harbour bridge was produced here!!

They had that reassembled on the Cleveland Centre floor over Christmas.

True! Ridley Scott came from the area, and based the skyline on the chemical works. All the steam, rain and lights at night. So attractive

Now that's interesting. I didn't know that. "

From Middlesbrough council site:

"In 1801, Middlesbrough was a farm with only around 25 people living there. In 1829, Joseph Pease, a Quaker man from Darlington, bought the farm and created the 'Port of Darlington'. Workers were needed for the port, so Pease started to think about building a town."

Mydilsburgh’ is the earliest recorded form of Middlesbrough’s name and dates to Saxon times. ‘Burgh’ refers to an ancient settlement, or perhaps a fort of pre-Saxon origin which may have been situated on slightly elevated land close to the Tees. ‘Mydil’ was either the name of an Anglo-Saxon or a reference to Middlesbrough’s middle location, half way between the Christian centres of Durham and Whitby.

Indeed the native Middlesbrough folk are hard working salt of the earth.

the hard work is reflected in its industrial past, ironically it's this backdrop that gives it it's less than attractive petsona
