Locomotion’s historic buildings – guided walk

The buildings and structures at Locomotion tell the story of Shildon's role as the home of the Stockton and Darlington Railway works. Find out more about the historic buildings on our site, and how they contributed to the town's success as the 'cradle of the railways'.

Join our knowledgeable volunteers on a guided walk around the exteriors of the historic buildings at Locomotion. Please note we can’t offer inside access to the buildings during this walk.
