 Well, it did and following a visit to ICI Billingham, Aldous Huxley penned his highly acclaimed “Brave New World” novel and even named characters after some of our roads. Pretty Impressive eh!

Michael Poole Estate Agents are passionate about our town and have an intimate, unrivalled knowledge of the area.

Our town centre has everything you’d expect and a few things you might not! For more than 50 years now, the town centre has played host to the Billingham International Folklore Festival. Dancers and musicians come from around the world to perform traditional and contemporary dance and Billingham Forum Theatre has seen more than its fair share of big names perform on stage. Names such as David Jason, David Soul, Penelope Keith, Arthur Lowe are but a few.

More conveniently, Billingham benefits from great communication links. The A19, A689, A66 provide easy access to Middlesbrough, Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton on Tees, Sunderland, Newcastle, Durham and beyond.

We understand the importance of good school catchment areas and our knowledge of the area and can point you in the right direction if you want your children to go to Priors Mill school, St Pauls school or Northfield schools on Wolviston Court or Pentland Avenue & Billingham South in Old Billingham.
