More about this scene
Though the North East is readily identified with coal mining, shipbuilding and iron and steel, among its lesser-known industries was the construction of railway locomotives and rolling stock. The principal centres were the North Road Works of Darlington, Shildon Wagon Works, and locomotive manufacturers Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn, who were based at Gateshead. The Wagon Works was Shildon's main employer.
