===Post-war development=== [[File:A66, Middlesbrough - geograph.org.uk - 274831.jpg|thumb|A66 from a multi-storey car park in 2006 (the road is raised, with Wilson Street running alongside)]] Post-war industrial to modern non-industrial Middlesbrough has changed the town, many buildings having been replaced and roads built. The [[A66 road]] was built through the town in the 1980s, the Royal Exchange being demolished to make way for it. [[Middlesbrough F.C.]]'s modern [[Riverside Stadium]] opened on 26 August 1995 next to Middlesbrough Dock. The club moved from [[Ayresome Park]], which had been their home for 92 years. The original St Hilda's area of Middlesbrough, after decades of decline and clearance, was given a new name of ''Middlehaven'' in 1986 on investment proposals to build on the land.<ref name="auto1">{{Cite web |last=Price |first=Kelley |date=16 June 2019 |title=Did the 'Middlehaven dream-maker' achieve what he set out to do? |url=https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/highs-lows-middlehavens-regeneration-dream-16251398 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200924043757/https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/highs-lows-middlehavens-regeneration-dream-16251398 |archive-date=24 September 2020 |access-date=29 November 2020 |website=TeessideLive}}</ref> [[Middlehaven]] has since had new buildings built there including [[Middlesbrough College]] and Middlesbrough FC's Riverside Stadium amongst others. Also situated at Middlehaven is the "Boho" zone, offering office space to the area's business and to attract new companies, and also "Bohouse", housing.<ref>{{Cite web |date=31 August 2016 |title=Boho Zone |url=https://www.middlesbrough.gov.uk/business/find-premises/boho-zone |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201129164131/https://www.middlesbrough.gov.uk/business/find-premises/boho-zone |archive-date=29 November 2020 |access-date=29 November 2020 |website=middlesbrough.gov.uk}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Ford |first=Coreena |date=8 October 2020 |title=Growing digital firm Animmersion expands into landmark Boho Zone |url=https://www.business-live.co.uk/technology/growing-digital-firm-animmersion-expands-19071000 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201031164339/https://www.business-live.co.uk/technology/growing-digital-firm-animmersion-expands-19071000 |archive-date=31 October 2020 |access-date=29 November 2020 |website=Business Live}}</ref> Some of the street names from the original grid-iron street plan of the town still exist in the area today. The expansion of Middlesbrough southwards, eastwards and westwards continued throughout the 20th century absorbing villages such as [[Linthorpe]], [[Acklam, Middlesbrough|Acklam]], [[Ormesby]], [[Marton, Middlesbrough|Marton]] and [[Nunthorpe]]<ref name="englandsnortheast.co.uk" /> and continues to the present day.
