Local knowledge — Private Hire in Grangetown
Grangetown is a town on the south bank of the River Tees, between Middlesbrough and South Bank. A former steelworks community, it was dominated for over a century by the Dorman Long steelworks — whose steel was used in the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Tyne Bridge. The town has a proud industrial heritage and a strong community identity.

About Grangetown
- Dorman Long, the steelworks company based in Grangetown, supplied the steel for some of the most famous structures of the 20th century — including the Sydney Harbour Bridge (1932), the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle (1928), and the Lambeth Bridge in London (1932). The company was one of the largest steel producers in Britain and employed thousands of workers in Grangetown and the surrounding area at its peak.
- The Grangetown steelworks were among the most productive in Britain in the early 20th century, producing structural steel for bridges, buildings, and ships across the world. The works were nationalised in 1967 as part of British Steel and continued to operate until the 1990s, when the decline of the British steel industry led to their closure.
- The Eston Hills above Grangetown are part of the North York Moors National Park and offer outstanding views over the Tees Valley and the North Sea. The hills are an important habitat for upland birds and are popular with walkers and cyclists. The Cleveland Way long-distance footpath passes along the ridge of the hills.
- Grangetown has a strong community identity, shaped by generations of steelworkers and their families. The town has its own schools, community centre, and local facilities, and the community has worked hard to maintain its sense of place in the face of the economic changes that followed the closure of the steelworks.
