The Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge is the furthest downstream bridge across the River Tees. It connects Middlesbrough, on the south bank, to Port Clarence, on the north bank. It is a transporter bridge, carrying a moving 'gondola', suspended from the bridge, across the river in 90 seconds. The gondola can carry 200 people, 9 cars, or 6 cars and one minibus. It carries the A178 Middlesbrough to Hartlepool road.
Following a 1907 Act of Parliament the Bridge was built at a cost of £68,026 6s 8d (equivalent to £6,490,000 in 2015 values), by Sir William Arrol & Co. of Glasgow & Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company of Darlington between 1910 and 1911. A transporter bridge was chosen because Parliament ruled that the new scheme of crossing the river had to avoid affecting the river navigation. The opening ceremony was performed by Prince Arthur of Connaught on 17 October 1911 and was Grade II listed in 1985
The Bridge has an overall length (including cantilevers) of 851 feet leaving a span between the centres of the towers of 590 feet the beam of the bridge being carried at a height of 160 feet above the road. The bridge is the longest remaining transporter bridge in the world. The bridge is currently owned by Middlesbrough Council and Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council. Middlesbrough Council has control of the day-to-day operations and maintenance. In 2011 the Tees Transporter Bridge received a £2.6m Heritage Lottery Fund award for improvement and renovation work to mark the Bridge's centenary.

It opened in the summer of 1913 and has had a long and distinguished history when it came to entertaining the people of Teesside. But the name you know it by will depend very much on the generation you grew up with. We're talking the Pavilion Theatre just off Newport Road in Middlesbrough, also known as Club Marimba, the Rock Garden and, of course, The Arena nightclub. The building, now home to a gym called Akurei MMA, fell victim to a large fire at the weekend leaving its interior damaged. At one point, crews from ten fire engines battled the blaze, which broke on on Saturday.
The exterior of the building looks as though it has remained unaffected - but the news and pictures coming from the scene of the fire will have brought back many memories for dancers, clubbers, punks and cinema goers who once favoured the night spot. Opened in 1913 as a theatre, the Pavilion Theatre was renamed the Pavilion Picture House in 1914. It operated as a cinema up until 1960. The building then became Club Marimba and played host to the likes of film star Jayne Mansfield who made an appearance there in 1967.
In the 1970s, it took on an altogether different vibe when it transformed into the Rock Garden, the centre of the late 70s punk scene on Teesside. The Barbarians and No Way were regulars there and the Sex Pistols, using the cover name of Acne Rabble, played at the venue in August 1977.Other bands that played there were the Clash, Siouxie and the Banshees, The Stranglers and the Damned. The Gazette was there for Acne Rabble's gig and it made front page news - the all-ticket capacity of 400 was filled. Police were called by the club that evening when queueing fans started to protest by “banging and kicking the doors of the club”. Punk might have had a vicious image but our report reveals the disturbance quickly cooled when the police cars drew up and “crowds backed away and police persuaded those without tickets to leave the queue of hundreds”. The band appeared on stage at 10.40pm and, says our report, the audience in front of the stage immediately started spitting on them.
The Rock Garden closed its doors in 1981 and, the venue later became The Arena nightclub, a very popular spot for clubbers of the 90s and beyond. In its 90s incarnation, the club became a focus for Teesside's Britpop scene as it played host to the major bands of the period, including The Bluetones and Space. But it most famously was the venue for the first Teesside gig of the decade's biggest band - Oasis.
The Gallagher brothers played The Arena on April 8, 1994, days before the release of their debut single Supersonic and the same night it emerged Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain had killed himself. The Libertines and Arctic Monkeys were also among the major names to play the venue before its closure.

Located in the city centre of Middlesbrough, Teeside, next to the Town Hall on Corporation Road, and bounded by Pine Street and Dunning Street. The Empire Theatre of Varieties was opened on 13th March 1899 with a variety bill headed by Lilly Langtree.
The Empire Theatre of Varieties was designed by noted theatre architect M. Ernest Runtz of London. The facade in terra cotta was designed in a Spanish Renaissance style, said at the time to be the first building in the United Kingdom to have that style. The four corners of the building had a tower feature. Inside the spacious foyer there are marble columns. The Renaissance Revival style auditorium had seating provided for 600 in the orchestra stalls, 150 in the dress circle and 750 in the gallery, plus six boxes adjacent to the proscenium. There were six dressing rooms. The proscenium is 30 feet wide and the stage 35 feet deep. Many famous stars appeared, including the American escapologist Harry Houdini.
From at least April 1909, the Empire Theatre of Varieties was screening films as part of the variety programme. By May 1915 it had gone over to full time cinema use, and this lasted until 1918 after the end of World War I, when live variety returned. In May 1929 it was taken over by Thompson Enterprises Ltd. chain, headed by Thomas Thompson. It was listed as the Empire Cinema in 1937, but this seems to be a short lived change of use, as it soon reverted back to live variety theatre use.
In the 1940’s, the stage end of the building was destroyed by German bombs, which closed the theatre until rebuilding was completed. The two towers at that rear end of the building were not replaced. The variety theatre use continued until the late-1950’s, when the Empire Theatre was closed.
In the 1960’s it was converted into a bingo club, which continued into the 1990’s. Since then it has operated a theatre themed bar, with occasional live performances.
The Empire Theatre is a Grade II Listed building.
