A #Middlesbrough legend says that jazz legend George Melly was on tour & staying in the Marton Country Club. He went for a late night walk after a heavy night partying. Next day he told people he’d had hallucinations of a giant metal triangle. He’d made it down to Easterside.

📺We know our spire is part of Middlesbrough's heritage. We need the Council to agree with us and put it on their list of locally important buildings. Like and share if you agree! #SaveourSpire

📺 SPIRE UPDATE Today I met with Middlesbrough Council's Head of Planning and local councillor Craig Wright to talk about the future of the spire and getting its importance recognised. The more memories we collect the better so please share them in the comments!

🗞We made it into The Gazette 🗞 “I’ve heard so many stories from residents – of christenings and weddings, of little kids trying and failing to climb it, and of people using it to find their way home when they were lost." gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-…

Happy Sunday! One lady shared with us that the spire reminds her of walking back from Sunday School and getting an ice lolly on a warm day. She’d go for a Woppa. My favourite was always a Twister. What’s your favourite?

Did you know 🤔 St Agnes' was paid for by money left by Agnes Spencer? Agnes was the widow of Thomas Spencer - one of the founders of M&S. She did a lot for local charities & the church was named after her. Her grave is just up the road at Marton.

#middlesbrough people, can we all show some love for Heidi Schulz-Immer? Heidi was passionate about the town twinning between Mbro and her city of #Oberhausen in Germany. She loved Mbro, our people and our heritage. She died this weekend after a battle with Cancer. RIP Heidi 🇩🇪🇬🇧

And in an instant it was gone. The speed of this process has been both unedifying and upsetting. A big blow to the industrial heritage of Teesside.

Had a great catch-up with Revd Caroline from St Cuthberts, Marton. Really grateful for her help on land ownership and fascinating chat about archaeology, graves and lots in-between.
