British Trolleybus - Teesside
The Teesside Railless Traction Board was a jointly owned operation involving Middlesbrough Corporation and Eston Urban District Council, principally to link the local steelworks with residential areas. Grangetown was the original eastern terminus of the system until later housing estates were developed.
This shows the old centre of Grangetown, Grangetown Square, with the tall chimneys of the Dorman Long steelworks behind.
Practically nothing of the 'permanent' buildings, structures and roads remains today. The Victorian housing has disappeared and been replaced by light industrial development with a significantly different road pattern. The chimneys are also gone, although the large shed just visible at the end of the street was still visible on satellite views at the time the picture was added to Geograph.
The trolleybus in the picture is a stranger in town. It is a preserved and restored vehicle from the former Brighton Hove and District company which was operating a tour for trolleybus enthusiasts. Towards the end of trolleybus operation in the UK many of the remaining systems allowed enthusiasts to bring preserved vehicles to operate on special occasions. By the time of this picture the section of wiring in Grangetown Square was no longer in use by regular services.

British Trolleybuses - Teesside
The Teesside Railless Transport Board was a joint operation between Middlesbrough Corporation and Eston UDC. It was built to serve the steelworks along the south bank of the River Tees. It was the only trolleybus system operating after the 2nd World War which had not previously been a tramway.
In this picture the trolleybus is passing one of the coking plants which manufactured coke for the blast furnaces. This plant has completely disappeared, although a nearby plant still exists as the last reminder of steelworks in the South Bank district itself. Steelmaking is now concentrated further east in Lackenby and Redcar.
