Billingham


View Larger Map
Billingham is a civil parish and town in the Borough of Stockton on Tees in North East England with a population of 35,765 (2006).[1] It was founded circa 650 by a group of Saxons known as Billa's people,[2] which is where the name Billingham is thought to have originated. In modern history, the chemical industry and in particular the company ICI played an important role in the growth of Billingham. Today ICI no longer operates in Billingham, although other chemical companies are working in the area.
