Morton Hall Colonnade NZ 515 161
William Ferdinand Bolckow's residence was built in 1856, near to where James Cook was born at Marton. A glazed colonnade was added in the 1860s, which led to a hexagonal conservatory.
The estate was bought by Thomas J. Stewart in 1925 and he presented it to Middlesbrough as a park.
After the house had deteriorated, it was being demolished in 1960 when it caught fire.
All that remains today is the colonnade.
