Portrack

Portrack is a housing and industrial estate in Stockton-on-Tees. It is situated close to Billingham opposite Thornaby and just west of Middlesbrough. Portrack was the site of a large municipal incinerator which took in and burned waste from all over Teesside. The incinerator was closed in 1996 and demolished in 1999 and 2000.

Portrack Lane has a number of large stores. Some you can find are B&Q Superstore, ASDA, Franks, Screwfix, McDonald's and Starbucks. Portrack houses both a business and industrial estate.

Portrack was home to a number of pubs such as the Prince of Wales, the Portrack Social Club known locally as the Blood Tub, the Cricketers Arms and the Royal Hotel which have all since closed. The only pub left in the area is the Portrack Hotel.[1][2]
