It is near the areas of Acklam, Ayresome, Grove Hill, Middlesbrough centre and Whinney Banks.

Deriving from 'Leofa's village', the present name of Linthorpe has also been recorded as Levynthrop, Levingthorp and Linthrop.

Inevitably a rumour exists that there was a subterranean passage from here to the manor house at Acklam; there is, however, no evidence to sustain this.

It was created in the rural area of Linthorpe and presented by Henry Bolckow, one of Middlesbrough's ironmasters, at a personal cost of £3,000.

Tim Williamson made his debut at Middlesbrough in 1902 and went on to become Boro's first England International player.

[9] The Linthorpe Hotel public house, formerly a doctors surgery and residence, was opened in 1957 and stands within its own original expansive grounds.

These grounds once contained a carriage turning circle, vegetable garden, orchard and lawns.

[13][14] The largest collection of the Linthorpe Art Pottery ware in the world was assembled at the Dorman Memorial Museum.

This promised a dance room, side shows, sensations and novelties, fireworks and a permanent zoological collection with hundreds of strange animals and birds – all for sixpence.

It lasted seven days and, apparently, for weeks afterwards the bodies of the animals were seen floating on the Pottery Pond.

[citation needed] Belle Vue Road is said to be named after the ill-fated zoo and is the only reminder of this fanciful project.

Also in 1872 the first church services to be held in Linthorpe were in Olive's Gym adjoining the Park Hotel.

Today the schools are housed in two separate buildings – infant and junior – on the site in Roman Road.
