Shildon to Stockton

The Stockton and Darlington Railway

by Roger R Darsley and Dennis A Lovett

The Stockton & Darlington Railway is probably the best known railway line in the world. Whilst existing history books outline its historical significance, we delve further to explain where it ran initially. The prime objective was moving coal to the River Tees at Stockton from the pits west of Shildon. The establishing of Shildon as the first railway town cannot be underestimated.
