Fingers crossed the weather seems to be clearing up - at 12.30pm today as part of Discover Middlesbrough you be guided around the new St Hilda's Digital walk. Meet at Myplace (the old Custom House) in North Street (parking available). TS2 1JT. That is not far from where many park on matchday in the College Car Park or along Commercial Street.
The Rekindle Research Group will guide you around the route that is marked by QR codes. Bring your smartphone and then you can see how easy it is to follow the interactive trail that includes history, anecdotes and interviews that shine a light on the heritage of old Middlesbrough.
This is what we call Over The Border and you will learn a little about the artist LS Lowry and his famous painting and there are anecdotes from the former RC Cathedral and find out where the first Middlesbrough railway halt was positioned.
If you are around and have some time this lunchtime why not pop along. We have set aside a couple of hours for people to take walks but the actual walk is much shorter than that.

Am wondering whether I could take people around this trail sometime before a match. If you have a smart phone I can show you how to guide yourselves through the QR codes.
 
Are the smart codes up permanently Rob? (Or for the foreseeable future, at least)

Wouldn’t mind doing it in my own time one afternoon
 
Yes,

QR codes are up permanently and are checked and updated as needed.
They look like that pictured above and start on the gate next to myplace main entrance (actually off Commercial Street rather than North Street). It is a big modern entrance way.
 
There is also a trail starting from the big green sign when you leave the Ladgate Lane car park in Stewart Park.
Just point your camera (phone) at the QR code to go and click on the link that appears to get started.
