Heritage Inspired Artist Resources from The Tunnel Gallery

The Tunnel Gallery is an exploration of public art in Middlesbrough. It is led and programmed by four of the Middlesbrough Cultural Partnership independent arts organisations – Tees Valley Arts, Navigator North, Platform A Gallery and The Auxiliary Project Space.

Recent artist commissions aim to investigate how artists and communities can respond to the hidden heritage of Middlesbrough through the HSHAZ Cultural Programme – Celebrating Hidden Middlesbrough.

There are a number of artist designed resources on the website as well as virtual galleries – www.thetunnelgallery.org

Resources are available for anyone to download, print and use and are family friendly and suitable for all ages.

Middlesbrough Local List 

Middlesbrough’s Local List has 91 buildings and sites on it, which were identified by a public call for suggestions, assessed using criteria and agreed by the council in 2011. A number of buildings in and around the HSHAZ feature in the Local List.

Much of Middlesbrough’s heritage is young (in a national context) and therefore does not always meet national criteria to be listed buildings. For example, any building or structure older than 1830 is significant for Middlesbrough, but nationally many listed buildings are considerably older than this.
