Teesaurus Park
Though I had better make a quick post just to prove I wasn’t dead in a collapsed mine. Holidays, work and forgotten memory cards for camera have slowed postings in June/July.
Teesaurus Park is one of those places that many locals don’t even know exists. First opened in the late 70s with the T-Rex
Other were added in 1987, I think this is a bronotsaurus in the bushes.
If you want to split hairs the mammoth came about 65 million years after the dinosaurs.
The cheerful brachiasaurus
The stegosaurus
On top of the hill a triceratops family
The sculptures were built by workers on the government Youth and Employment Training Scheme, its a shame the council can’t see their way to giving them all a lick of paint a bit more often.

Glad to see you’re not dead - the whole collapsed mine thing had crossed my mind. I’ve always wondered about the reasons behind Teesaurus Park - what were the council trying to say erecting dinosaurs on the site of the old steelworks?

Good to see Teesaurus park again. I assume the pictures of the dinosaurs eating Phil and/or Rich will follow later?

They are lovely those dinosaurs, just lovely. Are there many?

Please could you tell me how many dinosaurs there are there and does a bus go there?

There are 6 big ones and 2 little ones.
Don’t think any buses go around that way.
