About

Dormanstown is a residential area located on the eastern edge of Redcar. The layout is defined by its distinctive long, straight avenues running parallel to the coast, with housing primarily consisting of interwar and postwar terraced homes.

The landscape is marked by the vast, open expanse of the former Dorman Long steelworks site to the north, a flat industrial plateau that shapes the local horizon. To the south, the residential streets give way to the natural barrier of Coatham Marsh, a significant wetland reserve separating the area from the seaside developments of Redcar.
