Teesside Railless Traction Board trolleybus outside Cargo Fleet works, 1966
This was the only modern trolleybus network that was not based on earlier tramway operation, and opened in 1919. The system was instigated by the local steel company Bolckow Vaughan (later Dorman Long) who constructed the route but then sold it to Middlesbrough Corporation (33.3%) and Eston Urban District Council (66.7%) before commencement of operation. The steelworks continued to supply electricity until 1955.
The trolleybus is picking up outside the main entrance to what had been the Cargo Fleet Iron Company's work, with head office on the right (still surviving) and the fine lattice clock tower (which no longer exists). Two red United Automobile Services bus can also be seen, on the Middlesbrough – Redcar service.

Former Offices of Langbaurgh Borough Council
Built in 1916 for the Cargo Fleet Iron Company. It was last occupied by Langbaurgh Borough Council which evolved into the Redcar and Cleveland Council. These moved into "better" offices at Eston and the building has remained empty.
There are now plans to turn the building into offices and an heritage centre.
