History of Britannia Test House Middlesbrough
Britannia Test House

A Middlesbrough building with a testing legacy.

Durham Lifting’s Middlesbrough home is Britannia Test House, a building with deep links to the area’s industrial and engineering heritage.

Once connected to the former Britannia Steelworks and Dorman Long, the building was created to house large-scale testing machinery. Today, it continues that purpose as part of Durham Lifting’s testing and lifting operations.
