caption_attribution_description: English: Row of Cottages, Stokesley Road. Built by Henry Bolckow in 1858 to rehouse the villagers of Marton who happen to live on the same spot where he wanted to build his new hall (see NZ5116&#160;: Granite Urn, Stewarts Park).
context_page_description: The A172 is a major road in North Yorkshire, and the unitary authority of Middlesbrough, England. It runs from Ingleby Arncliffe to Middlesbrough. The road derives its adumbrated number from 1969 when a thoroughfare link connected South Teesside with the Lackenby Docks in Middlesbrough. Since further urban infrastructure development it has been extended into the North Yorkshire Moors, when it transforms into A174.
context_section_description: On 29 July 1963, The Transport Minister, Ernest Marples announced a new by-pass for the village of Stokesley. This was the origin of the link road. However the edited version of Hansard implies that the new Labour Government re-routed the proposal in 1965 making a Compulsory Purchase Order of the required land. The A172 changes its name to Stokesley Road at Marton Crossroads, passing through Marton-in-Cleveland. The road can be used to join the A19 north to Newcastle and Sunderland and south. The road also joins the A174 (at this point called the Parkway) to the coastal towns of Redcar, Saltburn and Whitby.
  There are a number of bus services which operate along part or all of the road. Amongst these are: 27 (Marton-Netherfields), 28 (Saltburn), 29 (Stokesley) and 63 (Redcar), which are operated by Arriva North East.
  In May 2016 a section of the road 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long by the Blue Bell Inn was re-surfaced by the Highways Authority at Coulby Newham.
