The Printing Works premises.
The property on the left of the photograph marked 'Printing Office' is where I grew up and lived until my student days. My parents operated a bakers and confectionery business from the premises.
In 1890, when a printing works, it was owned by the Brookes family as can be seen from the sign over the door. Their ownership continued until about 1918, at which time two sisters opened a cafe (Fells Cafe) and bakery business. One of the sisters, Sarah Fell, had lost her husband to the 1918 influenza pandemic and this led to them moving to Ingleton from Ambleside.
By this time the premises had acquired another storey - the roof had been raised ...read more here

Extracts From Auckley & South Yorkshire books
On the left is the old Town Hall, which was built in 1846; the town fire engine was also kept here. A new and rather grand Town Hall, designed by Alfred Waterhouse, was opened in 1889 by the Prince of Wales; it cost £130,000 to build.

The electric street tramway system operated on 3ft 6in gauged track, and opened in 1898, the same year as similar systems in Bradford, Glasgow, Halifax, Liverpool, Stockton, Cork and Kidderminster.

Linthorpe Road was at one time the town’s only road south. Originally, development along here had been for residential purposes, but as early as the 1860s some of the houses were being converted into retail premises. By the end of the 1870s it had become one of the principal shopping areas.

The Grand Opera House opened in 1904 at a cost of £38,000, but struggled and was taken over by John Imeson in 1909. Imeson was one of the leading figures in the town’s entertainment business; his involvement with the theatre began in 1866, when he started building the Royal Albert Theatre. In 1870 it was renamed the Theatre Royal and did extremely well, presenting a wide variety of shows ranging from comedies to pantomimes and operas.

Before the commissioning of the transporter bridge a ferry operated across the Tees to Port Clarence. The transporter bridge was designed and built by the Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Co and was opened for traffic in 1911. It is the largest of its type in the world, at 850ft long and 215ft high.
