Show on mapThis sign for Vansittart Terrace sits on what is now Coatham Road
Coatham Road came into existance around 1935 when Portland, Victoria, Cleveland, Bentinck, Vansittart and Theresa Terraces were combined.
Henry Vansittart (10 July 1784 – 22 April 1848) married Teresa Newcomen the widow of Sir Charles Turner and gained Turner’s Kirkleatham estate.
136, Coatham Road, was formerly known as.16 Vansittart Terrace.
My father was born in 16, Vansittart terrace on Christmas day, 1916. His father Robert Dick was a well known bowler for Redcar cricket team.
I have been unable to locate the plaque
Ian Dick.
If you stand at the entrance to Coatham Church and look at the end gable of the house on the right, you will find it.
