A little history
On 27 September 1825, the Stockton and Darlington Railway carried its first passengers — the world's first regular steam passenger service. The railway transformed the world. The High Street — once the widest in England — retains impressive Victorian architecture. The Tees Barrage is a dramatic modern river structure.
The railway heritage is marked throughout — the Head of Steam Museum. The Tees Barrage for the watersports. The High Street for the Victorian architecture. The ARC arts centre for culture.
