Bateman, How is Captain Cook debatable? A granite font marks the spot in Stewart Park, Marton-in-Cleveland. It's a stone's throw from the remains of the old house. Apologies if it's been mentioned before but One of Teesside's (Stockton-on-Tees) famous sons was the comedian and actor Will Hay. An engineer by profession, he was a famous amateur astronomer, close personal and professional friend of Ernest Rutherford and discoverer of the white spot of Saturn. At the time I believe George Formby was perving at women, using window-cleaning as a cover. Nice... --- Post edited by plymuff_diver on 12/9 8:39 --- | |

Ridley's younger brother Tony Scott was born in Stockton since people seem happy to include people born in Stockton in the list. | |
