SUMMARY:Walking the line - Darlington 1st December
DESCRIPTION:Continuing our programme to revise and update our self-guided walks booklets before 2025\, our next Walking the Line event will be on the 1st December at 11am. We will meet at the foot of the steps up to the Goods Shed\, Hopetown on the corner of McNay Street and North Road. This is immediately adjacent to North Road Station so why not arrive by train? \nThe purpose of this walk is to check the content of the revised walk book content and the new route before the redesign and printing. \nYou can download a copy of the working draft here: \nhttps://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/et0xof6b9z881vjejnne2/ADw82P17qr5OCChJ310wMTs?rlkey=kkk8338dwuxioxzho4w84c11d&dl=0 \nThis is an urban walk\, not especially long (2.1 miles) but there will be a lot of stops which can be tiring.  It will take at least two hours largely due to these interesting stops along the way. Allow for more. \nWe will end the walk at Hopetown where you can have refreshments and use the loos at the Clocktower Café after we have been around the outside of the buildings. You will be free to spend as much time as you like at Hopetown once we have finished the walk – entrance is free. Please book your own entrance ticket for about 1.15pm. You can do this here: https://tickets.hopetowndarlington.co.uk/#calendar \nDogs are welcome\, but please note that while dogs are welcome in the café at Hopetown and throughout the grounds\, they cannot go inside the museum or carriage works. \nIf you plan to join us on this walk\, please send your name\, email address\, mobile phone number and next of kin’s phone number before the 1st December to caroline@aenvironment.co.uk. Your contact details are required so we can get in touch on the day if plans unexpectedly change and your next of kin’s number is in case you get run over trying to cross North Road. And don’t forget to book your entrance into Hopetown for about 1.15pm (I don’t think it will matter too much if we are a little late or early). \nThe updating and redesign of this booklet has been made possible by sponsorship from Husqvarna and Councillor Sonia Kane. \nCaroline Hardie.

SUMMARY:Book Launch 27th September at Locomotion
DESCRIPTION:On behalf of Husqvarna and the Friends of the Stockton & Darlington Railway\, we have pleasure in inviting you to the formal launch of our walk booklet covering Shildon to Heighington on the 27th September from 4.00pm until 6.30pm at Locomotion’s main hall in Shildon. There will be drinks and celebration cake and an opportunity to network\, catch up with the latest news from the Friends and an amble amongst the collections. I do hope you will find time to attend on this busy day; the 199th anniversary of the Stockton & Darlington Railway. \nFor the purposes of catering\, please let me know if you plan to attend at caroline@aenvironment.co.uk before the 18th September. If you miss this admittedly short deadline\, let me know anyway and we will be pleased to make some adjustments to accommodate you. \nOur walk booklets were first published in 2016\, but are now being redesigned and updated in preparation for 2025. We have always seen these as an important part of the heritage led economic regeneration strategy that is the S&DR project\, spreading the economic benefits of visitors to the area beyond the honeypot sites of Locomotion and Hopetown. They are an important part of the offer for 2025 and beyond and encourage people to get out and about by foot and by train and can be used to link to other heritage interest sites in the wider area such as the Auckland Project. So far\, we have updated the books covering West Auckland to Shildon\, The Shildon Circular and now this stretch between Shildon and Heighington. We will soon turn our attention to Darlington. Of course\, the timetable is largely dictated by the progress of the new S&DR Discovery Trail. \nThis event is for members of the Friends of the S&DR only and our partners. \nWe are looking forward to seeing you. \n

SUMMARY:Bicentenary of the laying of the first rail on the Stockton & Darlington Railway on the 23 May
DESCRIPTION:To commemorate the bicentenary of the laying of the first rail on the Stockton & Darlington Railway on the 23 May 1822\, we are walking from Eaglescliffe Station to the Town Hall on Stockton High Street on the 23rd May 2022\, then on to St. John’s Crossing. \nFor anyone interested in doing the walk please meet at Eaglescliffe Station at 11.00 am for the start at 11.15 am. \nSome people will be coming by train which arrives in Eaglescliffe at 11.10 am. The route which will follow as near as possible to the original route with a few stops and minor detours is about 4 miles. \nWe should arrive at the Town Hall in Stockton around 2.00 pm so for anyone who does not wish to do the walk they are welcome to meet there\, but the next part of the event is only open to members as numbers need to be limited. \nTogether we will walk down the High Street\, continue along Bridge Road to St. John’s Crossing where the First Rail was laid by Thomas Meynell 200 years ago at 3.00 pm. \nAfter Mr Meynell’s “speech” we will head back up Bridge Road and for anyone who would like refreshments we are calling into the Thomas Sheraton – Thomas & Thomas. \nFor anyone who is interested please contact Peter Bainbridge – membership.sdr1825@virginmedia.com \nPlease note that there are a limited number of places on the walk from the High Street to St. John’s Crossing as there is only a small space around the interpretation board and sculptures outside the buildings at St. John’s Crossing.  Stockton Borough Council do not want large groups of visitors in this area due to it’s proximity at a very busy road junction having 2 busy 4 lane roads. Therefore this part of the event is only open to members. \n
