SUMMARY:Shildon Circular Railway Guided Walk
DESCRIPTION:Discover Shildon’s historic place in the industrial revolution with this circular walk between the key sites in the world’s first railway town though the story of the Stockton & Darlington Railway and Timothy Hackworth. \nThis circular walk will take around 3-4 hours to complete at a gentle pace. We will start outside the collection building at Locomotion at 10am and begin our walk through the museum site discovering the history of the surviving buildings. The walk will take the route of one of the original rope hauled branch lines serving Black Boy quarry\, taking in the Shildon Tunnel and then taking a return route through town via an original coach station. The tour will then look at how the railway shaped the lives of the people who worked on it and the town of Shildon. \nComfortable walking shoes are required. We will meet outside the front of the Locomotion collection building at 10am. Museum is signed from main road. \nEmail Jonathan Ratcliffe at jonathan.a.ratcliffe@gmail.com with the name of the attendees\, a contact number and email address to book your place.

What ends with the engineering accomplishments of   Sir Nigel Gresley started with the engineering achievements of Timothy Hackworth. His story includes the missed opportunity of Hackworth’s most powerful design\, the markers he laid down  for the Stockton and Darlington Railway before they were taken up and used by others and his unique contribution to the works at Shildon’.  \nMIKE NORMAN:   \nMike’s background in IT was at the forefront of the technology of the Information Revolution & he now  draws on that experience in defining the pioneering key developments of the Steam Locomotive. He is  the author of ‘It Wasn’t Rocket Science’-a biography of the life and times of Timothy Hackworth which\, set during preparations for the 1893 Chicago Exposition\, is told through the eyes of a grandson.  \nPLEASE BOOK A PLACE – Please go on Locomotion’s Website into Events where you can book a place for the talk at this page or email the Secretary of the Friends: Jonathan.ratcliffe@sdr1825.org.uk who can place the booking for you.
