Yes
you could say more - you could say 'Stockton-on-Tees'. Middlesbrough's pox-ridden neighbour to the west, where I had the misfortune to live for four years. Middlesbrough is a veritable paradise by comparison.

The market?
Havnt been there for over 20 years, but Stockton Market used to be spectacular

20 years ago
it may well have been. Sadly it's brutally ugly, poorly maintained and houses mostly poundshops, cheap fashion, a Wilkinsons and a Woolies (Stocktons largest shop, which is of course now shut). There is ONE nice butchers and one fairly nice greengrocers. The remainder of the food stalls are butty-and-pie shops. The high street is full of boarded up windows, charity shops and terrifyingly rough pubs. Stockton high street could be gorgeous, and the Georgian parts are lovely, if run-down, but the town itself is a dive of far, far greater proportions than Boro.
