Published by City of Newcastle upon Tyne Education and Libraries Directorate,Newcastle Libraries and Information Services,Tyne Bridge Publishing.This publisher specialises in North East history titles. If the North East has given one great gift to the world,it is the modern railway.And if there is one figure from the region renowned around the world it is George Stephenson.The origins of both lie within a few miles of Newcastle,and they have left a visual and a historical stamp upon the area.The book takes an affectionate look at some of the features of Tyneside and Wearside that reflect the development of the railway and how its success changed the North East.For more than a century it was the basis of overland freight and passenger travel.It was perhaps the greatest single factor in the creation of the modern industrial world. The role of Tyne and Wear in the development of the railway is unique.During the 18thC the complex network of horse waggonways from the collieries to the colliers made a deep impression on visitors.As the wooden ways developed into the powered iron railway,it was on the Newcastle system that they were modelled and built.From the North East came John Blenkinsop,and Matthew Murray who developed the first economic locomotives; William Hedley and Timothy Hackworth, builders of 'Puffing Billy' and 'Wylam Dilly'; Longbridge and Birkinshaw who solved the problem of rails; and the greatest single influence of all,George Stephenson.The evidence of how,why,when and where these historic events took place are impressed upon the cities of Newcastle,Sunderland and the surrounding area,and can still remind us of the extraordinary effect the railway had on changing the everyday world.
