Created by

Darlington with its famous industrial history was founded back in Saxon times on the banks of the River Skerne. It is home to a stunning example of an early English church built in 1183. In front of St Cuthberts Church on Tuesdays and Saturdays you will find the famed local market situated in one of the largest market places in England.
Darlington's Victorian industrial architecture and character pay tribute to the Quaker families of the 18th and 19th centuries. Thriving linen, wool and banking industries provided the town with employment and many prominent buildings.
However Darlington is fundamentally famous thanks to the leading Quaker industrialist and prominent citizen George Pease and his passionate belief in the age of the railways. Pease and George Stephenson invested their time in our future in their creation of the fist ever steam-worked public railway. The Stockton and Darlington railway is celebrated every year in September - a tradition started by railway workers in the 1920's. Live steam train rides give you a real sense of a mode of travel synonymous with the town.
'You will be able to see history in the making! This is where trains were born and where an engineering heritage was forged.' David Mach - Local 'Train' sculptor.
