Thorntree
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thorntree is a housing estate in east Middlesbrough within the borough of Middlesbrough and the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. It is so called because it was built on land which was Thorntree Farm. It has a public park called Thorntree Park. The main roads of the estate are College Road and The Greenway.
This housing estate was built in the 1950s after people started to move away from the terrace housing of Middlesbrough town centre and North Ormesby.
Thorntree has a population of 5,000 and was identified as the 3rd most deprived (out of 8,434) housing ward in England in 2000. However, since the Index of Multiple Deprivation has begun to measure smaller output areas with a mean population of 1500 the three areas of Thorntree now rank 192nd, 205th and 378th most deprived (out of 34,412) in England respectively.
