Place of birth..Scunthorpe? Stockton? York? Middlesbrough?

[nicdigby]

Hi, am looking at birth cert for the girl in the screenshot. Long story short; secondary sources have her born in Middlesbrough. However, the birth index location for her record is actually Stockton, Durham. And I cannot read the actual location on the birth cert but it appears to be Scunthorpe, York.  It's the correct birth cert.

1) Can anyone accurately read the location under the date?

2) Can anyone who knows the area advise me; is Middlesbrough close enough to be considered as Stockton, or Scunthorpe? Would either of the latter ever come under Middlesbrough registry office? I've looked into it and they all appear to be completely separate areas, but I don't know the register background of this area to work out what is going on!

Thank you in advance.

I should have added that you can look up registration districts via FreeBMD.  Linthorpe and Middlesbrough were both part of Stockton RD until 1875:
