Near the mouth of Hawthorn Dene, there used to be a very grand house called Hawthorn Towers. This large building was built in a style called Gothic Revival. This means it looked like old medieval castles or cathedrals, with pointed arches and fancy decorations.
Hawthorn Towers was once the home of Major Anderson. He was an important person who helped build the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge. This bridge is a famous landmark in England. Sadly, Hawthorn Towers was taken down in the late 1970s.
