Industrial Teesside, Lives and Legacies

The book delves into the impact of economic, social, environmental, and cultural changes on the residents of Teesside, particularly following significant de-industrialization. By examining the lived experiences and perspectives of locals and stakeholders, it highlights how the region's industrial history, especially in Stockton's steel, coal, and chemical sectors, continues to shape its future. Utilizing a 'biography of place' framework, the author provides a comprehensive analysis of the interplay between the community's historical legacy and its current and future challenges.
