Synopsis

Local journalist, historian and storyteller Chris Lloyd will bring to life through stories and images the quirky, and fascinating tale of how the Stockton and Darlington Railway got the world on track. The historic 26 mile journey between Shildon and Stockton via Darlington on 27 September 1825 transformed how the world traded, travelled and communicated.

Following Chris' talk there will be a short interval during which complimentary cake will be offered to our audience.
