This book is a unique and colourful view of Middlesbrough, featuring hundreds of ‘never seen before’ pictures.
Paul Menzies is one of Teesside's best-known authors and historians. In this, his latest book on the history of Middlesbrough, he brings colour to the images for the first time.

A veritable treasure trove for those who live in or know Middlesbrough well, and something to pass on to future generations.
Well-known local historian and BBC Tees broadcaster Paul Menzies has drawn extensively on his many years of research and long associations with Middlesbrough to produce this new history book on the town.

As well as the images, the book features forewords from well-known Middlesbrough celebrities on what makes it “Their Town”.
Contributions come from famous names such as actors Bill Fellows and Mark Benton, broadcasters John Foster, Pam Royle, Scott Makin and Gary Philipson, artist Mackenzie Thorpe, and Middlesbrough Mayor Andy Preston among many more.
