| | Guisborough Poor Law Union and Workhouse |
 | | According to (Chadwick, 1996), the Guisborough workhouse, "an old tumbledown cottage", was "no regular workhouse but a house for the reception of paupers". |
 | | In its early years, the Guisborough Board of Guardians was effectively under the control of the local Dundas family, with Sir Robert Dundas MP as its Chairman. |
 | | In 1875, the Guisborough union lost the townships of Eston, Ormesby and Normanby to the newly formed Middlesbrough union. |
