Ian16th, Yes, the same (Captain James Cook is Middlesbrough's sole claim to fame. So has our estimeed Technical College ["the lumpenpolytariat"] blossomed as the James Cook University, and the old "South Tees" ennobled as the "The James Cook University Hospital" If we made seaside "rock", it would have "James Cook" in the middle).
Though not I've yet to reach your ancient status, as a lad I had the opportunity to attend Constantine College, but instead, I took the Queens shilling and became a Boy Entrant.

In 1952 the idea of it becoming a University, wasn't even a gleam in anyone's eye.

The hospital was simply 'The Gen'!
