For a short time I used to work in a public rights of way team in a local council.
One of my pet projects when there was looking at Sailors Trods, paths marked on a few old OS maps.
Whilst digging about in the Teesside Archives, then superimposing a map onto a current mapping layer using some software, I found that a Sailors Trod was marked on a line which looked to be right behind the office I worked in. I took my camera out to take a photograph, sad I know!

The Sailors Trods were paths which allowed river pilots and other people linked with shipping and boats on the Tees to walk between Cargo Fleet (or Cleveland Port) and a point near what is now Newport Bridge, and indeed from either destination to points beyond.
