North Ormesby is a part ofMiddlesbrough,North Yorkshire, England. The area has gained the common nickname of Doggy, it is of unknown origin.[1] Population of the now former "North Ormesby and Brambles Farm" ward was 6,268, at the2011 census, withBrambles Farm being south-east of the area.[2] The area became its own ward in 2015.[3]
It is near theRiver Tees's southern banks, with theA66 road andTeesdale Way (long-distance walking route) passing to the north of the area, theA171 road (Cargo Fleet Lane) to the east, theA1085 road (Longlands Road) to the south with theA172 road andEsk Valley Line to the west.
Its name, as well as those of various streets in the locality, alludes to the support given to the initial construction of North Ormesby, a new town, in the later 19th century by members of the nearbyOrmesby-basedPennyman family. The name therefore comes from being in the northern part of the former Ormesby parish.
The neighbourhood has in recent years seen somewhat of a decline, with much of its original housing having long been demolished, partially as allowance for new developments, including, more recently[when?], the erection of numerous new buildings and the restructuring of theA66Redcar toPenrith trunk road which passes through the north of the area.
In October 2017, it was revealed to have the cheapest average house price in England and Wales, at £36,000, down 60% since 2007 (after inflation adjustment).[5]
The neighbourhood was featured as the lead story on BBC News at Six on 12 June 2024 as having one of the worst crime rates in Britain with regular robberies, drug dealing, criminal damage and theft.[6]
