The A66 flyover site at Marton Road, captured in this vintage print from September 25th, 1985, showcases the proposed location for a statue honoring Henry Bolckow - the visionary behind Teesside's iron empire. As one of the founding fathers of this industrial region, Bolckow played a pivotal role in shaping Middlesbrough's history. In this snapshot from the 1980s, we witness a scene of bustling construction and progress. The towering crane stands as a symbol of ambition and determination to transform this stretch of road into something more than just an ordinary thoroughfare. Amidst the rubble and debris lies the potential for greatness. The image evokes a sense of anticipation and excitement for what is to come. It represents not only physical development but also pays homage to the rich heritage that has shaped Teesside over time. This photograph captures an era when infrastructure projects were seen as symbols of growth and prosperity. As we gaze upon this historical moment frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that progress requires visionaries like Henry Bolckow who dared to dream big. The proposed statue will stand as a testament to his enduring legacy and inspire future generations to strive for greatness.
