    now now, don't be a silly wench. there are enough dives in yorkshire, middlesbrough is just another one. i grew up on the edge of the ny moors, its as yorkshire as flat caps pettle.

    and middlesbrough has always been in the north riding of yorkshire whether you or your dead family like it or not.

    oh yes it is, it became a unitary authority in 1996 but has remained part of n yorkshire for ceremonial/postal address purposes. geographically it has never moved ;)

    boro has its good parts and really really bad parts but thats the same everywhere

    ive been back to redcar for the old day visits and thats so rough these days from when i was a kid.

    the iconic chimney stacks are always a pleasure to see on the x10 home lol

    There are some nice areas, altho few n far between.....

    its proper rough for a night out, I hate drinkin in redcar

    I've had good nights out with my mates, but on the whole its a shit tip

    its certainly not the top of my list for a night out

    spent a lot of time drinking in redcar myself when i was at college and back end of last year......i remembered why i stopped going in the first place...its shit!
