On the spot, Ian ! (as the only man of any eminence who lived here), Captain James Cook's name is stuck on just about everything else. He was born (reputedly) about a mile as the crow flies from where I now sit. If any town on Teesside produced seaside rock (Redcar ?), it would have "James Cook" in the middle.
Although Capt Cook has no known grave, his sister is buried in Redcar.
Not a lot of people know that.
