The Transporter Bridge is a symbol of Middlesbrough. It was opened in 1911, and only two other such bridges are still in existence in Britain. The Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge is 851 feet long, its cantilever construction having three main bridge spans that make it unique. The bridge is fully operational and provides a regular quarter hourly service from Middlesbrough to Port Clarence.

Newport Bridge is one of Middlesbrough's most famous landmarks. It opened in 1934, the bridge being the first vertical-lift bridge, the largest of it's type in the world - the central section of the bridge raising to allow ships to pass beneath it. Newport Bridge was raised and lowered on November 18th 1990 for the last time.

The peoples park was donated to Middlesbrough by Henry Bolckow in 1866 and was offically opened on the 11th August 1868 by Prince Arthur: the youngest son of Queen Victoria. The 'Peoples Park' then became Albert Park after the Queen's late husband. Facilities now include tennis courts, mini golf, bowling green, skating ring, boating lake, fishing, 3 cafes and picnic areas.

Thomas Stewart gave the park to Middlesbrough in 1928 when it became public possession. The park has two lakes which provide habitats for the waterfowl, moorhens, geese and coots, and Pets Corner is home to many animals like deer, llamas, cattle and many more.
