Take a walking tour to discover Darlington’s locomotive building history
From the early days of Kitching’s foundry through to the 1960s closure of North Road Works, you’ll discover Darlington’s mighty railway engineering past as you step foot on the very land where grand workshops once stood.
Learn about the companies and people involved in the building of these steam workhorses and how they helped shape a community.
The tour will end at the new Darlington Locomotive Works where you’ll see that Darlington is still leading the way when it comes to building steam locomotives fit for the future.
Please note this is a walking tour which includes some walking over uneven ground.
