Nunthorpe History Group - welcomes you!
Nunthorpe History Group was established some years ago by the late Bob Mullen who, with a number of residents with an interest in the history of Nunthorpe, set up a website and an an archive of historical documents, maps and photographs.
Sadly the old website has been lost but newer technology has also emerged, and this new beginning of a new website aims to take advantage of the new technology.
We hope that with help from others with an interest in our history in Nunthorpe, we can make this website flourish for the benefit of all and,
to be valued by current and future residents as well our young people. Others can see a little of our interesting history here too.

NHG - update
We hope to re-commence meetings/talks after the elections on 4th May . There have been challenges in using the Institute as a venue due to accessibility . However, there appears to be good news that there will be a new Community Centre on Stokesley Road but this will be as much as a year away. We will look at other venues, principally the Church Halls but other suggestions welcome. We are also hoping to have a display cabinet at the new GP Surgery too.
Nunthorpe History Group talks start again !
We had an amazing, interesting, fascinating presentation by the Time Traveller, Martin Peagam on the subject of Diet, Disease and Death and Captain James Cook on Wednesday 19th October. By coincidence, Martin was to meet the Cook Islands Rugby League team ( playing in the Boro) at the Captain Cook Museum in Stewart Park a few days later. Captain Cook had visited the Islands and had been very careful in his diplomatic approach - better than later visitors! ( Note the anti scurvy diet!)
Conveyance of Lady Harrison's Field, Nunthorpe 1962 - in the North Riding
This document was found in the Teesside Archives by our very own Ian Proctor, as he was researching all things Nunthorpe, though he has an interest in sport, cricket in particular. This field (on Guisborough Road) which was 8.57 acres was once a polo field, with ponies being brought to the field by train to nearby Nunthorpe Station. This document is the conveyance to the trustees ( now the NMPFA) with various conditions.
