We have commissioned Tees Archaeology to lead archaeological excavations at Heighington Station. This is an opportunity for people to participate. The excavations will take place in the first two weeks of September. Areas to be explored include he cobbled platform – is this original to 1827? Is it the earliest in the world? Parts of the 1825 depot will also be explored. If you’d like to find out more or to take part, email Dr Emma Watson, Tees Archaeology Team Leader, Emma.Watson2@hartlepool.gov.uk
