Exploring Stokesley with the 'Stokesley Trail'
Some of Stokesley's attractions are well recognised such as its popular Friday Market, the variety of shops, its Yorkshire Market Town character and the secluded charm of Levenside. However, there are other attractions that need to be explored to be appreciated.
In the nineteenth century, Stokesley changed from the foremost town in the area to a relative backwater, as its industries declined and Middlesbrough became the focus for development. We gain from this, as many fine Georgian and Victorian buildings remain relatively unchanged, retaining their original character. They are now protected by being listed by English Heritage.
Produced by the Stokesley Society the "Stokesley Trail" helps you to discover many interesting and delightful features as you explore the town with walks of interest. It looks at old buildings from the medieval to the modern and how Stokesley has developed over the years. In the book are maps of the town to help you find your way around and the walk starts outside the Town Hall. It is available at £1.99 from The Yorkshire Store, and also from the Parish Council Office in the Town Hall.
