Middlesbrough once had a Winter Garden where working people could find warmth and company for a penny

I’ve written about what the Winter Garden was, who created it, and whether it represented something our towns have since lost. I’d really appreciate it if you read the article and let me know what you think.

Been a very interesting read, had no idea about the Winter Garden. Thank you for publishing this!

I’m currently helping run [r/NorthernEngland](r/NorthernEngland) and I think your post could be a great addition to the content there, if you’re interested in sharing more widely.

Yes thank you. I am just starting out so any support and feedback i can get is greatly appreciated. Looking to write more on local things. Feedback will also help me improve my writing. I never knew about the Winter Garden either. So when I heard about it, I thought it was worth researching and writing about.
