Origins and history
In 1540 John Leland described Darlington as «the best market town in the bishopric, saving Durham». On 27 September 1825 George Stephenson's engine Locomotion No. 1 ran on the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the line that first carried steam locomotives designed for passengers and goods on a standard gauge, with a permanent main line and branches. Faverdale Wagon Works was established in 1923 and closed in 1962.
