Eston

About

Eston is a residential suburb situated on the southern bank of the River Tees, within the borough of Redcar and Cleveland. The area is characterised by its mixture of interwar and post-war housing, alongside local shopping parades serving the community. It is positioned inland from the industrial estuary, with the landscape marked by the nearby Eston Hills, which form a prominent backdrop. These slopes offer walking routes and views across the Tees Valley.

The district's history is closely linked to ironstone mining, which once dominated the local economy. Evidence of this past remains in the form of reclaimed land and the distinctive outline of the hills, which were extensively quarried. The area is functional, with good road connections to Middlesbrough and the broader Teesside region. A local landmark is the Eston Nab, a historic beacon site on the hilltop, visible for miles around.
