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 The Victorian housing has disappeared and been replaced by light industrial development with a significantly different road pattern.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.

No room to spare. A Teesside trolleybus on Bolckow Road, Grangetown ? 1971
Just inches to spare under the bridge which carry the internal railway of the South Bank Ironworks. The bridge has disappeared almost without trace, with just some of the retaining walls remaining.
This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=2114547&displayclass=slide

Intersection on the A66
Intersection with Eston Road (towards camera) and Church Lane.
The footway on the right constitutes part of the diversion of the Teesdale Way and England Coast Path. The diversion was necessitated by the closure of a 2 km section of the Black Path since November 2015 during the decommissioning of the old Sahaviriya Steel Industries (SSI) site (see Image). The diversion adds a further 2 km to the total length of the path.
