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.

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.
