Port Clarence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For a settlement in Alaska, see Port Clarence, Alaska.

Port Clarence is a small community now within the borough of Stockton-on-Tees and ceremonial county of County Durham, England. It is situated on the north bank of the River Tees, and hosts the northern end of the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge.

It is also the former name of Malabo, the current capital of Equatorial Guinea.

The area has a strong history of immigration from Ireland, with many workers settling in the village between 1900 to 1920, particularly from counties Tyrone, Monaghan and Wicklow. They arrived to work in the local steel and chemical industires, as well as the local Furness shipyards.
