This history of Middlesbrough remains a seminal description of Ironopolis

This history of Middlesbrough remains a seminal description of Ironopolis

Historian Asa Briggs - who chronicled Middlesbrough's early development - has died :: Tosh Warwick pays tribute to his work,

Historian Asa Briggs, Lord Briggs of Lewes, died yesterday at the age of 94. His death followed a distinguished career in which he - among many other things - detailed the birth of Middlesbrough in his seminal Victorian Cities study.

Teesside historian Dr Tosh Warwick discusses how Briggs- who also wrote highly-acclaimed histories of broadcasting - put the town’s history on the map.

Briggs’ seminal Victorian Cities remains one of the core texts on the Victorian period for historians, students and enthusiasts of the past alike.

For those interested in Middlesbrough’s past, Briggs’ chapter on ‘Middlesbrough: The Growth of a New Community’ provides the starting point for delving into the rapid emergence of the Victorian manufacturing town on the banks of the River Tees.

Beginning with Gladstone’s famous 1862 quote describing the town as an ‘infant Hercules’, Briggs’ Middlesbrough chapter outlines the origins of the town and the key role played by the Quaker businessmen and early ironmasters in all aspects of life in the ‘boom town’ through to the maturity of Middlesbrough in the late nineteenth century.

Historic developments such as the town’s first parliamentary elections, the opening ceremonies of the current railway station and Middlesbrough Town Hall, the founding manufacturers’ relocation to grand residences such as Marton Hall, and the founding of the Weekly Gazette – a predecessor to today’s newspaper - are all explored.

The story of the advancement of the area’s steel industry and its impact on employment, health and housing in Victorian Middlesbrough is also told and provides a fascinating insight into everyday life in the manufacturing town.

In assigning Middlesbrough historic parity with world-renowned cities such as Birmingham, London and Melbourne - with Briggs arguing Middlesbrough ‘would have been called a city in many other countries, including the United States’ - Victorian Cities created a legacy that sees the story of the growth of that new community on the banks of the Tees accessible on the shelves of tens of thousands of libraries and bookshops across the globe.

Such was the impact of Briggs’ study that Teesside University awarded the ‘first historian to devote serious attention to the history of Middlesbrough’ an Honorary Doctorate in 1993.

Three years later in writing the foreword to the University and Middlesbrough Council’s collaborative collection Middlesbrough: Town and Community 1830-1950, in which the chapter from Victorian

Cities was reprinted, Briggs reflected: “I included Middlesbrough…not only on the grounds of its distinctiveness but also because the story of its rise and the economic and social vicissitudes that it underwent then and is subsequently interesting in itself”.

In October 2014 the ‘Victorian Cities Revisited’ Conference, inspired by Briggs’ exploration of Middlesbrough, was held in the town attracting world-leading academics to the ‘Ironopolis’ to explore its heritage and history.

At the December 2014 launch of The Age of Asa book celebrating an outstanding, diverse career, Briggs told me that he maintains a special interest in Middlesbrough and encouraged further study and critique of his work.

Fifty years from now, Briggs’ work is sure to continue to inform and inspire future generations to explore Middlesbrough’s fascinating growth.

Did You know that Middlesbrough?

Did You know that Middlesbrough?

The iron of Eston has diffused itself all over the world. it furnishes the railways of the world; it runs by neapolitan and papal dungeons; it startles the bandit in his haunt in cicilia; it crosses over the plains of Africa; it stretches over the plains of India. it has crept out of the Cleveland Hills where it has slept since Roman days, and now like a strong and invincible serpent, coils itself around the world"

  • Sir H.G Reid

'Infant Hercules'
Middlesbrough might be well known as the North East's 'infant Hercules' of industry, but few people fully appreciate the sheer enormity and scale of the town's industrial legacy. There aren't many other towns in the world that can lay claim to coating half the planet in steel and metal. In fact, Middlesbrough's rags to riches transformation in the industrial period is unparalleled by any other English town.

Pre 1800
Before the 1800s the town was little more than a truck stop for travellers and traders moving up and down the country in search of better things. The earliest recording of the town's name is 'Mydilsburgh' which alluded to the town's middle-journey status on the famous Christian Durham to Whitby route. In 1801, there were no more than four farmhouses marking the territory of the town.

"Middlesbrough Will Be". In the early 1800s, one very forward sighted entrepreneur, Joseph Pease, decided to nurture Middlesbrough's much overlooked potential. Pease used his influence to establish a rail connection from Darlington and develop Middlesbrough as a port for coal. He famously predicted that "Yarm was, Stockton is, Middlesbrough will be". Indeed, the motto chosen by the first body of town councillors was 'Erimus'; Latin for 'We will be'.

Unprecedented growth
In 1841, some more enterprising industrialists, Henry Bolckow and John Vaughan of Wales, discovered ironstone deposits in the Eston Hills. This triggered an overnight commercial metamorphosis; within no time, foundaries, mills, steel manufacturing companies and engineering works had sprung up across the town and the population multiplied tenfold. By 1890, the population had increased to 90 000 - the growth was unprecedented in England.

World class manufacturing
It was in this heyday that Middlesbrough established itself as a world class centre for steel construction and metal manufacturing. The signature of local companies like Dorman Long is engraved on bridges and landmarks all over the world, including the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Tyne Bridge Newcastle, and Bangkok Memorial Bridge in Thailand. No surprises that Middlesbrough earned itself the nickname, Ironopolis or 'Iron Town'.

National prosperity
Newport BridgeIn time, Middlesbrough's reputation for innovation and manufacturing supported the growth of other industries such as shipbuilding, offshore fabrication and chemical production. These have contributed in no small measure to Britain's prosperity.

Fun facts: did you know?
Middlesbrough Theatre when it was known as The Little TheatreA town in Kentucky (United States) was named after Middlesbrough when they discovered ironstone deposits in the region.

Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge is a Grade II listed building. It featured in the BBC comedy Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, in which it was dismantled and moved to Arizona. The BBC had to issue a disclaimer after disgruntled viewers believed the story was true and their beloved bridge had relocated to America!

The Little Theatre in Linthorpe was the first new theatre built in England after World War II.

The Dorman Long office on Zetland Street is the only commercial building ever designed by Philip Webb, the great architect who worked for Sir Isaac Lowthian Bell.
