Stainton & Hemlington

Stainton & Hemlington are residential areas located on the southeastern edge of Middlesbrough. Hemlington is a large housing estate developed in the 1960s and 1970s, featuring a mix of detached, semi-detached, and terraced homes. The area includes Hemlington Lake, a popular spot for walking and fishing, as well as local amenities like shops, schools, and community centers. Stainton, to the south, is a smaller village with a more rural feel, surrounded by open fields and farmland.

The two areas are connected by the A172 road, providing easy access to Middlesbrough town center and the A19. Hemlington has undergone regeneration in recent years, with improvements to housing and public spaces. Stainton retains its village character, with a church, primary school, and a handful of local businesses. Both areas offer a mix of suburban and green spaces, catering to families and commuters looking for a balance between urban convenience and quieter surroundings.
