I’m researching my family tree and have discovered that my relative lived at 17 Baltic Street Stockton on Tees, I have found the Baltic Tavern but no Baltic Street can anyone help with this search.
There is a Baltic Close, Maritime road. Not sure if that relates to Baltic Street.
Just off Mill Street East, which is just off Maritime Road.
Hi Michael,
I have sent you an email with two maps attached which show where Baltic Street used to stand.
I hope that this is of some help.
Kind regards,
Hannah

The Baltic Tavern was located where the riverside car park is now, just about here: https://goo.gl/maps/SFeEicWxZB6GAt2c8
The lane on the right of the tavern, I’ve seen referred to as Custom House Bank, as I guess it led to the customshouse (see https://picturestocktonarchive.com/2003/06/22/a-painting-of-the-baltic-tavern/), which then led on to Housewife’s Lane (https://picturestocktonarchive.com/2003/03/03/housewifes-lane-stockton-c1900/). On the left of the tavern is a bonded warehouse. The building behind the adverts was part of Sugar House Granary, also known as Waterloo Mills (https://picturestocktonarchive.com/2002/04/21/waterloo-mills-on-the-quayside/)
Jane Morrow, my Great great great Grandparents were also Stephen and Jane Reevell! Thanks for giving a little extra info to add to my family tree.
And between 1841 and at least 1847 (census and White”s Directory) it was run by Titus Higgin, my great great great uncle!
My Great great great Grandparents Stephen Reevell and Jane Reevell (nee Storey) ran the Baltic Tavern according to the 1861 census.
Barry – If you can get hold of a copy of the Old Ordnance Survey Map by The Godfrey Edition. The map is Stockton on Tees & Thornaby 1867 and on it is a good detailed map of the area where the Baltic Tavern would of stood. On there is marked P.H. in between the Granary and Hubback”s Quay. It is hard to say now where it would of stood exactly. Like I said in my other comment, I would say along Bishop Street where the Police vehicle entrance is now.
I imagine, looking at the 1899 OS map, and taking an elastic imagination at it. I guess at the rear of the Police Station, (Vehicle compound) Housewife”s Lane ran from The Square around the Police Station entrance to the Riverside. Most of this area was cleared in the 1920″s
Barry – go to the site”s search facility and put in the word Brig. That should bring up picture t1990 which shows an old sailing ship at the quay, with the Baltic Tavern in the background. It is said to have stood on the edge of The Square. I would estimate that its position was between where Stockton Police station is and the river.
Can anyone tell me where the Baltic Tavern was situated on The Quayside??? What”s in its place today?
