Situated in what is known locally as the Thornaby Triangle, in effect an island surrounded by a busy one way system this once proud building now stands neglected. It was presented to the town in 1892 by T Wrightson Esq. of Head Wrightsons, the iron and steel company which occupied the substantial area of land on the banks of the Tees known as Thornaby Carrs. Head Wrightsons was obviously a major employer in the town.
