Heritage Strategy

The Council has recently developed a Heritage Strategy for the Borough, based around five heritage themes. It is hoped that the strategy will provide a framework for the work of various Council services, community groups and heritage agencies.

Five Heritage Themes


  • Heritage StrategyEarly Stockton, Iron Age, Roman and Saxon Stockton
  • Railway and Engineering Heritage, including Petrochemicals Industries
  • Our World War I and World War II contribution
  • Plaques, Trails and Interpretation in the Landscape
  • Recent/Living History and Community Interest in Heritage.

You can download a copy of the Heritage Strategy (.pdf) or view as an e-publication via the issuu.com website.

In addition, we hope to develop a space online where users can add comments and pictures that will contribute to an ever increasing body of information on Stockton's heritage and living history.

Further information on the project can be obtained from the Head of Culture and Leisure.
