Photographer Peter Benson, at Cafe Royal Books,

These black and white images were taken between 1968 and 1999, initially as a result of my interest in the demolition and clearance of the built environment between the Newport Bridge and the Transporter Bridge in Middlesbrough. From here, this body of work expanded to include Port Clarence, High Clarence, Haverton Hill, Seaton Carew and Hartlepool, all of which were to become parts of what is now Teesside.
