The Venue

Following a £1.7m refurbishment Darlington Railway Centre and Museum re-launched in April 2008 as Head of Steam. It is located on the 1825 route of the Stockton & Darlington Railway, the world’s first steam-worked public railway. Step into the newly restored station building and look out for large exhibits like Stephenson’s “Locomotion No. 1” and displays of railway memorabilia.
