The chuch of St Hildas was demolished in 1969, all that remains is a brick block marking the position of the altar from which even the plaque has been stolen. The housing that replaced it is already being demolished.
The area is surrounded with flattened gravestones which are now all virtually covered in grass,
Along with the Royal Exchange, knocking this wonderful church down was one of the biggest crimes of Middlesbrough’s planners, in my opinion.
