St Hilda's, Yorkshire

St Hilda's (also known in recent years as Middlehaven) is the oldest part of Middlesbrough, Yorkshire. It lies in the North Riding. The area formed the original town centre of Middlesbrough after its foundation around 1830, and was known as St Hilda's after the parish church. From the 1950s onwards, much of the area has been subjected to successive demolition and redevelopment with St Hilda's church itself being demolished in 1969. The Old Town Hall, completed around 1846, remains in what was the centre of the market place. During the 1980s the area was renamed 'Middlehaven'. St Hilda's is within the council area of Middlesbrough.
