A sailor’s trod, a daily commute, the path to footballing glory or disappointment, a wildlife corridor, the way to sand and sea and shellfish, an escape from the terraces. The Black Path is so many things to so many people and occupies a unique place in the area’s psyche. Join Mike O’Reilly and Chris Corbett as they explore the social and industrial heritage of this extraordinary route, taking a look at the public art along its length and celebrating its stories and communities as they walk from the Teesside Archives to Redcar.
