We arrived at the local train station, and leaving the building we immediately caught sight of our 1st listed building in the town, in the form of the “New Exchange Building” in the form of the intricate brick structure at the far right of this picture, located on the edge of an area called Queens Square. The building was completed in 1874 to designs by W.H. Blessley, an architect from the town, who also designed a number of other buildings in Middlesbrough. Today it is an office block, which I think it also originally opened as.Turning right from our current position, we walked underneath the Albert Bridge, which bears the initials “NER” between the worlds Albert and Bridge. This stands for North Eastern Railway, whose chief architect, called William Peachey, designed it in 1877. As the name suggests, the NER used to run rail services in this area, and whilst their lines have now been incorporated into other train operating companies, many of their stations remain in use, and trains still run over the Albert Bridge on their way through Middlesbrough towards the town of Redcar.
