Corporation Road, Middlesbrough

I am looking for information and old photographs of Corporation Road in Middlesbrough – particularly at the end closest to the cinema and football stadium. I’d also like to know any information on the building which is now the Purple Onion/Multi Media Exchange – any information on previous occupiers, its history, photographs inside and out.

Query re Gresham Road

I am researching my family history and found that one of my ancestors died at 69 Gresham Road, Middlesbrough in 1908. The address was shown as the County Borough Asylum. Does anyone know if this was a mental institution as the name suggests? I would like to have any information regarding this establishment. The address doesn't appear in the 1901 census so I would be interested to know when Gresham Road was built.
