From the Wikipedia article
Dormanstown is an area of Redcar in the borough of Redcar and Cleveland and the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. It was named after and built by the Dorman Long iron and steelworks in the 20th century. It was originally built to house Dorman's hundreds of steel workers and their families. The company built the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the steelworks was for some time considered the best in the world. Dormanstown is also the site of Arriva North East's main bus depot for the Redcar area. Dormanstown eventually grew, becoming a suburb of Redcar.
