Old Eston and Normanby, by Paul ChrystalPublished by Stenlake in 2019, 48 pages. Rectangular Paperback - 17cm by 24cm (N7213)Brand New BookEston & Normanby are conjoined and part of the Middlesbrough conurbation in what is now known as Cleveland (but which was once part of the old county of North Yorkshire). These small towns owe their existence tot he local ironstone industry which at its Victorian height was producing a million tons a year. In fact there had been an old village of Eston prior to the discovery of ironstone but with a massive influx of thousands of workers a new town sprung up quickly, one area being named California to reflect that place’s 1849 gold rush despite the lack of comparable sunshine or surf. By 1890, there was an architecturally harmonious town featuring all the usual Victorian social and religious buildings plus in 1893 a floating isolation hospital at the jetty. The Normanby section includes street scenes and townscapes, the brick and tile works, the school, ‘Tittybottle’ Park, the sanatorium and more.Please note their is a small price sticker on the rear side cover

When we post our books, we take great care in packaging them - first your book will be wrapped in bubblewrap, which protects the book and even keeps out any rain (in the event that it's raining when the postie delivers it!). Then we wrap your book in stiff cardboard, taking care to make sure all the corners are protected, and finally the package is wrapped in thick brown paper.
