A short history of Thornaby-on-Tees
Prehistoric finds at Thornaby include a stone axe, an arrowhead and a dugout canoe recovered from the mud of the Tees. The name is said to date from about AD 800, when the Danish king Halfdene gave the land to a nobleman called Thormod, making it Thormod's farmstead. The Domesday Book mentions Thornaby five times and the first entry records that Robert Malet held the lands and that they were waste. The spelling Thornaby first appears in 1665. From 1825 industry arrived on the marshes beside the Tees, starting with William Smith's pottery, followed by shipbuilding, engineering and iron works. The area was first called South Stockton and on 6 October 1892 it merged with old Thornaby to form the municipal borough of Thornaby-on-Tees. The Air Ministry opened an airfield on 29 September 1929. Nine buildings are listed, with three at Grade II*: the Church of St Luke, the former Stockton and Darlington Railway weigh house and the former Railway Tavern with workers' housing at 50-56 Bridge Road.
