My town is called Middlesbrough.It lies on the North-East coast of England,about 250 miles north of London.It really started life has a hamlet in 1830.Iron Ore was discovered in the hills around Middlesbrough,and so started the industries for which the town is well known for,namely steel making , and chemical industries.
The largest of the steel-making firms was Dorman Long,which supplied the steel to build the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
One of the most famous landmarks of Middlesbrough is the Transporter Bridge,first opened in 1911 and still in use
