The Tees Valley is home to much of Britain’s greatest heritage and culture. Stockton & Darlington is the birthplace of the modern railway, Hartlepool is home to HMS Trincomalee – Britain’s oldest historic fighting ship still afloat and Middlesbrough is the birthplace of explorer Captain James Cook – to name just a few.
