Teesaurus Park

I did not know of Teesaurus Park until I stumbled over it last year while walking the Teesdale Way path, so my children had never been taken there, an omission rectified today for two of them at least (albeit now as adults); the big chunky steel dinosaurs (and an anachronistic mammoth) are strangely pleasing to the eye, wearing their graffiti and rope swings lightly, and they remain an enduring reminder of Middlesbrough’s iron & steel industry – once mighty but now extinct.
