LINTHORPE


'Linthorpe' is a contemporary inner-suburb, and formerly standalone village and township in Middlesbrough, in the borough of Middlesbrough in the ancient Cleveland area of the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, North East England.
The suburb as it is seen now - largely a Victorian and Edwardian incarnation - was built up during the town's expansion in that period. It has a wide range of houses from small terraces to large Victorian dwellings.
It is also famous for its Linthorpe Pottery, which was established in 1879 jointly by John Harrison, a local entrepreneur, and Christopher Dresser. The pottery firm ran until 1889. The largest collection in the world of the ware can be seen at the local Dorman Memorial Museum, first opened in 1904.
Linthorpe contains many public houses and is still a popular night out for the people of Middlesbrough. Pubs in Linthorpe include the Park Hotel, The Cleveland, The Red Rose, The Linthorpe, In Off The Park, The Yellow Rose and Union Jaxx.
