Two entertaining local authors, both Friends of the Stockton & Darlington Railway, join forces to discuss the 200th anniversary of the railway that literally got the world on track. Caroline Hardie and Chris Lloyd, using images from Carolines new book, The Stockton & Darlington Railway: A Pictorial Journey, will describe the lines beginnings and its place in history as the first modern railway. Caroline has also published a childrens book, Little Locos Big Day, about the lines opening day on September 27, 1825, while Chris, a Darlington historian and journalist for The Northern Echo and the Darlington & Stockton Times will draw on his extensive knowledge of the area to present what is sure to be a fascinating evening.
