Saltburn Communit Theatre

Known to many for his extensive contributions to THE OSCAR-WINNING FILM “COLD MOUNTAIN”, multi-instrumentalist Tim has one of the most hair-raising voices in American music. He transforms American tradition with his northern roots sound, New England ballads and haunted originals. I met Tim in Middlesbro in the 90s when he was touring with his seminal band Cordelia’s Dad and I shot this video for them: click here to watch

Building a University: a history of architecture and education

Linda Polley, Wednesday 7 July 2010

6.30pm – 7.45pm, Teesside University, Middlesbrough

About the Speaker

Linda is a senior lecturer in history in the School of Arts & Media and specialises in modern urban and social history including 18^th- and 19^th- century urbanisation and the development of mass consumption.

Linda undertook our  MA Local History and it was that experience which taught her about Middlesbrough and also, she believes, made her into a local historian. Her postgraduate work on Middlesbrough’s Victorian suburbs became an exhibition at the Dorman Museum, and she continues to write and talk about the various buildings and building types that we find all around us.  

Lecture Content

In this our 80th anniversary year, Linda will examine the architectural history of the University Campus in Middlesbrough. This visual presentation will seek to showcase Teesside University with its architectural history, which includes some of the finest examples of their type and time.
