Is Ingleby Barwick a 'town'?

[atypical_boro]

I can see it is referred to as one of Stockton's 'Six Towns' now.

I'm not convinced Norton's a town either me like, more like a big village or big suburb.

I fully accept Stockton, Yarm, Thorn Abbey and Billog as towns.

I thought Ingleby Barwick was Thornaby.

Ingleby Barwich is a ghetto in thornaby is it not?

I can actually now see it acquired town status in 2007. I am not aware of it having a 'town centre' however.

Why is Wynyard not a town then? I imagine its the next one on the list.

A pretend-posh housing estate. Can’t see how it is a town.

Norton is a village and was here long before any of the other areas in the conurbation of Teesside.

Yes, but it is listed as a 'town'.

Getting into 25.000 people living there. 4 pubs 2 secondary schools, 8 primary schools a golf course, swimming pool, Tesco store 6 parks and the second safest small town on North Yorkshire - and regularly the green eyed monster for many on here who aspire to but never achieve the utopia of that TS17 postcode

Everyone knows Norton is a village and not a town

[SitsOnTheFence]

No town hall. More of a novelty town if anything

Pretty **** town if only 4 pubs are there!

It’s not a town it’s a housing estate where the average size Boro crowd live. If Gibbo could get everyone in IB to buy an early bird season ticket we would be looking good for next season.

 

[ForssAwakens]

I would say it’s more of a stain on the landscape than anything else

 

[Yarmblue]

Eaglescliffe is certainly a town

I always thought that Norton predated Stockton, certainly mentioned in the Domesday Book as was Thornaby or Thormozbi as it was called.

Norton is a village and it's MY village so if anyone says anything bad about it on this thread I'm going to get really, really cross.
