Manor House in Stokesley was built to two stages in the 18th and 19th century.
It was once a hospital, public library and court house, but has more recently become a private home again.
The gate piers come from Angrove Hall, which was between Great Ayton and Stokesley and was demolished in 1832.
This building is a 1910 addition to an 1834 original behind
It looks in excellent condition as it was restored in 2009 having been out of use.
Preston Grammar School in Stokesley dates 1832
John Preston was a local attorney who died in 1814 leaving £2000 to establish a school, however a long a protracted legal battle followed about other parts of the will.
The school was opened in 1832 by Archdeacon Harcourt with Rev T Todd appointed as headmaster
It remained a school until 1908 and is now the first time a pizza shop has appeared on this website.
Nunthorpe railway station was originally on the Stockton & Darlington Railway Middlesbrough to Guisborough line.
The line opened in 11 November 1853 as a freight line for the Hutton Ironstone mines near Guisborough.
The passenger station was not opened until February 1854, all properties on this line owned by the company carried a “B” number
Grey Towers was built between 1865 and 1867 for the ironmaster William Randolph
Hopkins, the designer was John Ross of Darlington. Its unsual colour is due to the whinstone used in its construction.
Hopkins, Gilkes and Co were ruined due to their part in the Tay Bridge Disaster and the house went on the market in 1879 for £30,000 but remained unsold.
It became the home of Sir Arthur Dorman, founder of Dorman Long between 1895-1931. After Dormans death the house was bought by Sir Thomas Gibson Poole as the site for Middlesbroughs tuberculosis sanatorium, however due to the 2nd World War it was not completed until 1945.
After the closure of the Poole Hospital in 1989 the house became a target for vandals but has since been converted into apartments
This tiny chapel in Newby dated 1826 must be one of the oldest Wesleyans in the area.
The majority locally are much later and centred on the ironstone mining communities.
The building was erected by the Stainton, Thornton and Maltby School Board in 1876
The school was originally called St. Peters before becoming Stainton County Primary School until it was closed in 1971.
This building originally opened as a ‘Nation School‘ in 1844 which cost sixpence a week.
It closed in 1878 when a free school opened and then became a reading room.
It was extended in 1922 to become the Village Hall and War Memoral.
It remains in use to this day and carries possibly one of the most out-lying of Middlesbroughs Heritage plaques.
Stainton Wesleyan Methodist Chapel dates from 1840, although by 1890 Bulmer’s History and Directory of North Yorkshire says it is virtually disused.
It reopened in 1948 and appears to still be in use today.
The station at Beck Hole closed in 1914, but this sign still remains.
I strongly suspect its not been left standing alone for 100 years without getting the attention of a scrap man or railway collector. I would guess it was erected as part of the Moors Railway / Rail Trail.
