Bowesfield

Bowesfield is an area of Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, England. The area is located in the Ropner ward to the south of the town centre.^[1][2] The area is a mix of industrial, residential, and open space.

The name Bowesfield, through Bowesfield Lane, can be found from Oxbridge Lane (just south of the town centre) through eastern Parkfield and down to Tees Jubilee Bridge. The former Bowesfield Farm originally overlooked old Thornaby on the opposite bank of the River Tees.^[3]

Southern Bowesfield was once dominated by industrial areas such as the Bowesfield Works which has since been redeveloped into a housing estate.
