The Borough of Teesside came into existence in 1968, taking in an area north and south of the River which included Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Billingham, Eston and Redcar. The new Teesside Borough Council took over the operation of a number of children's homes previously run by the North Riding County Council and Durham County Council. Teesside's children's accommodation evolved a little over the following years — in 1972 it comprised:
