Grangetown is a residential ward in Redcar and Cleveland on the south side of the River Tees, part of the wider Teesside area between Middlesbrough and Redcar. It developed in the 19th century as housing for miners and steelworkers, and that industrial heritage is still visible in its rows of terraces, local shops and community halls.
The ward sits close to former heavy‑industry sites such as the steelworks at Lackenby and has good access to nearby countryside like the Eston Hills. Contemporary life blends affordable housing and active community groups with the economic transitions affecting Teesside as the area moves from traditional heavy industry towards mixed manufacturing, logistics and service‑sector jobs.
