My Town, My Future is an exciting project looking at the past, present and future of Middlesbrough. We’re working with volunteers to digitise our fantastic collection of historic photographs, some of which have never before been seen by the public, and which we’re posting right here on this website.

The people of Middlesbrough are at the heart of what we’re doing, so we’re encouraging you to get involved by leaving lots of comments on our posts, as well as sharing them on Facebook and Twitter.

We’d love to feature your photos and hear the stories behind them too; just have a look at the submit your photo page to find out how.

My Town, My Future is an Arts Council-funded project, run by Middlesbrough Council’s Culture and Communities service.
