A PROJECT which tells the story of Middlesbrough's past, present and future has gone live online.
The My Town, My Future website holds an ever-expanding library of photographs of the town and is hoping the public will add more, and tell the stories behind the images.
Over recent months volunteers have been working with staff from Middlesbrough Council's libraries team as well as writers and photographers to capture their passions of Middlesbrough, in a project funded by the Arts Council England.
Ruth Cull, Middlesbrough Council’s library development officer, said: “We’ve recruited a fantastic team of volunteers who are working hard to digitise the photographic collection held in Middlesbrough Central Library so they can be shared online.
“It will be fascinating to see people’s reactions to these rarely seen images. The website also gives the opportunity to share stories about what it means to live in Middlesbrough today."
