Old milepost A view of the milepost, from its style cast at Mattison's Foundry, Bedale, outside Milestone House on Gypsy Lane in Nunthorpe. It is on the 1912 OS 6" map on what is now A172 Stokesley Road. The right face has a hand pointing left/STOKESLEY/6/MILES.

Ridge and furrow at Tunstall Tunstall must be a decayed medieval village site, still with the name of the old village, but now comprising just a farm and one other dwelling. The ridge and furrow shows old plough strips, which could be of medieval date.

Ford on Tunstall Lane One wondered if this might prove to be a deep ford after many weeks of heavy rains, but the reality was no more than a puddle across an 'Irish bridge'.

Old road into Nunthorpe The A172 now by-passes the village of Nunthorpe, a diversion made probably in the late 1960's. My old AA map of 1953 shows this as the main road.

Footpath at Nunthorpe The path, which is a good track, leads between what appear to be abandoned farm buildings close to Nunthorpe Hall, the wall on the right being the boundary of the hall grounds.

Wetland on the edge of urban sprawl This could be a rural scene with a rush & sedge fringed pond, but it is close to busy 'A' roads on the southern edge of Middlesbrough where houses and traffic can just be glimpsed in the background. Taken from a newly enclosed garden area to the west of Nunthorpe church.

Church of St Mary the Virgin Nunthorpe church stands between the old estate village of Nunthorpe to the south and the sprawling suburb of Middlesbrough that carries the same name to the north. This is a muscular looking building by Temple Moore, built between 1914 & 1926.
