Iron Masters District & Trail The Ironmasters’ District is an area of land to the south of the River Tees at Middlesbrough in the north-east of England. The history of Middlesbrough revolves around the development of the iron and steel industry on the river Tees from the middle of the nineteenth century. There is very little physical evidence remaining of the heavy industry that once dominated this stretch of the river. However, it is not so far in the past to have been lost in the memory of those who worked and lived within sight and sound of the awesome blast furnaces, calcining kilns, puddling furnace plants, forges and rolling mills of the Newport, Ayresome and Britannia Ironworks. The Ironmasters’ Trail is a guided walk around the Ironmasters’ District, incorporating information panels and the sights and sounds of the River Tees. It would take approximately 1-2 hours to complete the circuit and the pathway is accessible to wheelchair users with only one steep bank to navigate. A shorter walk is also available in the Southwest Ironmasters’ Park. |
