Eaglescliffe
Eaglescliffe is a village in the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, England. It is in the civil parish of Egglescliffe.
The village was formerly known as Eaglescliffe Junction, being formed around a railway station. In 2011, the Office for National Statistics had the area as Yarm's built-up area.
The village's name is thought to be derived from a misspelling of the name of the nearby village of Egglescliffe meaning a church on a hill. A common myth on the name change is that in Victorian times the sign for the new railway station turned up incorrect after the signwriter thought that Egglescliffe was a mistake and altered it.
The Stockton and Darlington Railway passed through the grounds of Preston Hall in Eaglescliffe, and on the opening day, 27 September 1825, there was a famous race between a stagecoach travelling down Yarm Road, and the Locomotion No. 1. The Cleveland Bay pub was opened, then named the New Inn, on 17 October 1825. It was built for Thomas Meynell, the chairman of the railway company, and in September 2025 it was one of seven railway-associated buildings which were grade II listed in the week of the bicentenary of the railway. English Heritage recognise it as "potentially the earliest public house in the world to be built specifically in association with a railway line" and as a "proto-railway station".
In 2011, Eaglescliffe was named the 4th best place for families to live in England and Wales, according to the savings firm Family Investments.
Many events are held in Eaglescliffe every year, mostly in Preston Park which is situated north of the village, in Preston. Many of these events are run by Stockton Council.
Many local groups gather at the community centres and village halls within Eaglescliffe and its neighbouring villages. Egglescliffe Community Centre is the largest, and plays host to two amateur dramatics groups – Cliffe Theatre (who produce at least two plays every year), and Centre Stage (who produce a pantomime every January, as well as a musical every summer). Egglescliffe Community Centre also hosts many other community groups including a Ladies Section, a weight loss group, dance classes, and many others.
To the village's east is Eaglescliffe Golf Club – a course which occupies the land bordered to the south by the Sunningdale Estate, to the north by Teesside High School, and to the east by the River Tees. Many street names in the Sunningdale Estate, as well as the name of the local 'Links Primary School', reflect the location of this golf club. Preston Park has large playing fields.
