CLEVELAND RAILWAY, a railway in Cleveland, N. R. Yorkshire. It was authorized in July 1858, and opened in November 1861. It comprises a line of 10¾ miles from a point near Guisbrough to Skinningrove; a line of upwards of 2 furlongs to the Middlesborough-and Guisbrough railway; and a line of fully 4 furlongs from the Alum-works of Beckbridge, to a field near Rawcliffe-Banks. Authority was obtained in 1861, to construct a line of 8 miles from Guisbrough to the Tees; and in 1865, to form six branches of aggregately 7¼ miles.
