Greater Middlesbrough
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greater Middlesbrough is an informal term for the collective urban areas south of the Tees, centred on Middlesbrough, that include areas immediately surrounding the official boundaries of Middlesbrough not included within its council area. These areas include all the townships and settlements that have a Middlesbrough Postal address such as the greater Eston area, Port Clarence & parts of the Hambleton district of North Yorskshire (Great Ayton, Maltby, Newby, Stokesley). The areas have either once been part of a Municipal or Parliamentary borough of Middlesbrough or they are physically linked by the Urban sprawl and have a Middlesbrough postal address. The total population for the Greater Middlesbrough area is over 220,000.
