Map of River Tees 1833
This map from 1833 shows a projected canal running from the River Tees, at Cargo Fleet to Redcar, which was to be renamed Port William. The lands surrounding the estuary of the River Tees are shown to be protected by sea walls and this is the reason why the Clarence Railway ended, about halfway down the river at Sumpter Butts. Furthermore it also appears that he North Shore Branch line was always intended to have a little branch running off to the east. The existence of this branch must have enabled the ironworks and pottery to be established, south of Portrack, well before the Malleable came into existence in 1861. Courtesy of Fred Starr.
