Burnhopeside Hall has a high listing evaluation due to its historical connection with William Hedley who worked for the Wylam Colliery 1813-1815 with Timothy Hackworth, the foreman smith; Jonathan Foster, the Wright and Christopher Blackett, the owner of the colliery. The hall is said to have similarities to John Dobson's house in Newcastle (Pevsner 1985 ed.) but is not confirmed as a commission (Faulkner & Greg 2001). There are planned farm buildings adjacent to the hall. Description Burnhopeside Hall is sheltered from the west by a shelter belt which is shown on the 1869 OS. The wooded pleasure grounds are divided by walks. A lawn is shown south of the hall planted with orchard trees. Another orchard is marked east of the drive. Two ranges of farm buildings are shown east of the hall. The railway is screened from view by a belt of trees planted along the river. The 1898 OS shows the addition of a walled garden with glasshouse and lawns opened out to the south and west. Circular clumps of trees have also been introduced in the north and west sections of the park. Specimen trees survive in the pleasure gardens.

SECOND EDITION (Enlarged). £on&on THE RAILWAY PUBLISHING CO., Ltd., 79 and 80, Temple Chambers, Temple Avenue, E.C. 1899. T3 in PKEFACE TO SECOND EDITION. When, ten days ago, the first copy of the " Evolution of the Steam Locomotive" was ready for sale, I did not expect to be called upon to write a preface for a new edition before 240 hours had expired. The author cannot but be gratified to know that the whole of the extremely large first edition was exhausted practically upon publication, and since many would-be readers are still unsupplied, the demand for another edition is pressing. Under these circumstances but slight modifications have been made in the original text, although additional particulars and illustrations have been inserted in the new edition. The new matter relates to the locomotives of the North Staffordshire, London., Tilbury, and Southend, Great Western, and London and North Western Railways. I sincerely thank the many correspondents who, in the few days that have elapsed since the publication: of the "Evolution of the , Steam Locomotive," have so readily assured me of - their hearty appreciation of the book. rj .;! G. A. SEKON. -! January, 1899. PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. In connection with the marvellous growth of our railway system there is nothing of so paramount importance and interest as the evolution of the locomotive steam engine.

    No 183 Sept 2011 1 www.sihg.org.uk Three Very Different Wealden Iron Furnaces by Alan Crocker On 23 July I attended the AGM of the Wealden Iron Research Group (WIRG) at the Rural Life Centre (RLC), Tilford. These meetings are usually held in Sussex but this year the event came to Surrey, as the RLC has recently constructed a half -scale replica of a Wealden iron blast furnace and forge, complete with waterwheel, bellows and tilt hammer. The meeting started at 1030 with coffee and biscuits and then the Director of the RLC, Chris Shepheard, a former Chairman of SIHG, talked about the formation of the museum, its activities and the enormous amount of work done by volunteers, known as ‘Rustics’. A group of these, headed by Gerald Baker, has been responsible for raising funds for and constructing the replica furnace in a former pig sty on the museum site. After lunch in the RLC Restaurant, Gerald operated the furnace for our party. There is no stream flowing through the museum site so the waterwheel, which is overshot and 6 feet in hammer. The Rustics had lit a wood fire in diameter, has to be turned by circulating water the kiln but for several reasons it was not with an electrically powered pump. One end of its possible to demonstrate smelting and shaft operates paired bellows which force air into forging. This was partly because of safety the base of the furnace through a hole known as a regulations, partly because charcoal and iron tuyere. The other end of the shaft operates a trip ore are not yet available and partly because with a small-scale furnace the high temperatures required may not be attainable.

  • The Earliest Locomotives and Railways
    The Earl i est Rai l ways The first railroads in Britain were in the 18th century coal mines, where horses pulled mine carts from the pits to the factories along wooden tracks. Later, in 1807, the first railway to carry passengers was opened. It was called the Oystermouth Railway and horses pulled carriages along tracks from Swansea to Oystermouth in South Wales. The Earl i est Rai l ways Thomas Saver y Thomas Savery (1650 – 1715) invented and made one of the f irst ever st eam engines in 1698. This engine was used to pump water out of the coal mines, but unfortunately it had a number of problems and did not work as well as everyone hoped. However, t his early st eam engine design helped other engineers and inventors to develop more successful engines in the future. The Earl i est Rai l ways James Watt James Watt (1736 – 1819) was a Scottish engineer who worked to improve the earliest steam engines like that of Thomas Savery. Watt’s desi gns and i deas were ver y successf ul . Af t er Wat t ret ired in 1800, many ot her engineers and inventors continued to work on and improve on this early steam engine design. The power of the steam engine was soon about to completely change travel and transport in the United Kingdom and around the world. Did you K now ? The unit of enery ‘the watt’ was named after James Wat t and he invent ed t he t erm ‘horsepower ’. The Fi rst St eam Engi ne Locomotives locomotive Soon engineers were creating train steam engine locomotives using new steam engine technologies which were quickly developing.

He married and had eight children and was a converted Wesleyan Methodist. He manufactured and designed locomotives and other engines and worked with other significant railway individuals of the time, for example George and Robert Stephenson. He was responsible for manufacturing the first locomotive for Russia and British North America. It has been debated historically up to the present day whether Hackworth gained enough recognition for his work. Proponents of Hackworth have suggested that he invented of the ‘blast pipe’ which led to the success of locomotives over other forms of rail transport. His sons other relatives went on to be engineers. His eldest son, John Wesley Hackworth did a lot of work to promote his fathers memory after he died. His daughters, friends, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and ancestors to this day have worked to try and gain him a prominent place in railway history.

    A CENTURY OF STEAM RAILWAY DEVELOPMENT SIR HENRY THORNTON ALTHOUGH the year 1925 is generally accepted as marking the hundredth anniversary of steam railways, and September 27th is the date actually observed, railroads and the use of steam as a means of locomotion came into being over twenty years before 1825. In fact, it is recorded that as early as the year 1530 crude rails were used for the convenience of the trams in which ore was hauled in the mines of the Tyrol. Ask the average person who invented the steam locomotive, and the immediate answer will be "Stephenson." Ask him whether it was George or Robert, and an element of doubt will at once arise in his mind. Mention the name of Trevithick, and unless he has made a thorough study of railroads and their development he will tell you he never heard of the name. Yet Richard Trevithick and his cousin Andrew Vivian built the first locomotive which successfully hauled a train, and they put it into operation in February, 1804. Even ask many railroad men the name of the first railroad, and the answer will be the Stockton & Darlington, the hundredth anniversary of the inauguration of whose service was September 27th of this year. But even this is incorrect. The Stockton & Darlington Railway's distinction lies in the fact that it was the first railway to carry both passengers arid freight, and for that reason modern steam railroading is dated from the opening of this company's service between Stockton and Darlington. The operation of Trevithick's locomotive between Merthyr Tydvil and the Aberdare Canal at Abercynon, nearly twenty-one years before, had been exclusively for hauling freight and mine products, while other steam railways previous to the opening of the Stockton & Darlington were used for similar purposes.

  • The Railway Revolution
    Transactions – October 2019 North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers Founded 1852 Royal Charter 1876 The Railway Revolution Les Turnbull BA MEd MNEIMME A joint lecture between NEIMME and the Stephenson Locomotive Society Les Turnbull is a modern historian who has worked as a schoolmaster, university lecturer and senior educational advisor. He has served as a volunteer and trustee at the Institute over the last two decades and is the author of several books on mining history. His latest book ‘The Railway Revolution’[1] has made a study of the transfer from road to rail transport in the seventeenth century which was the first railway revolution. Drawing primarily upon sources from the archives of the Institute and those of the Duke of Northumberland, he argues for a new interpretation of railway history and demonstrates that the first railway revolution occurred many years before the George and Robert Stephenson came on the scene; thereby revaluating what is usually regarded as the railway revolution of early Victorian times as in fact the second revolution. Copies of the book can be obtained from the Institute bookshop at: mininginstitute.org.uk The opening of the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825, followed by the building of the first inter-city railways between Liverpool and Manchester and London and Birmingham, earned George Stephenson the title of ‘father of the railways’. These events formed the basis of the traditional view that the railway revolution occurred in the mid nineteenth century which is embodied in the national curriculum of our schools and the national psyche of the country at large.

Amberley Publishing, United Kingdom, 2012. Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English . Brand New Book. The story of Wylam village in Northumberland is a story about the origin of railways. The birthplace of George Stephenson, it was the centre for the first revolutionary pioneering work on railway engineering which laid the foundation for all that followed. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, on the instigation of colliery owner Christopher Blackett, a series of revolutionary experiments in railway technology were conducted. The principal protagonists read like a roll call of great railway engineers: the wayward genius Richard Trevithick, the devout Methodist Timothy Hackworth who wouldn t work on the Sabbath and the portly asthmatic William Hedley who oversaw the work. It was Hedley who, in 1813, would invent the legendary Puing Billy, the first reliable working steam locomotive.

  • Index to the Captains Register of Lloyds of London
    Index to the Captains Registers of Lloyd’s of London: Y (CLC/B/148/B/019/ MS18567) London Metropolitan Archives Introduction This document contains an alphabetical index to the Lloyds of London Captains registers which are held at London Metropolitan Archives (LMA). The Registers give details of the careers as captain and/or mate, on those vessels whose voyage details were transmitted to Lloyd's of London, of merchant sea captains who held British or British colonial master's certificates. By no means were all Captains British citizens. For further details please see LMA information leaflet 'Lloyd's of London "Captains Registers" and related sources', available from the LMA website. These indexes are for the series CLC/B/148/B/019/MS18567, covering the years 1869 (retrospective to 1851 for those masters and mates still sailing in 1869)-1911; captains still active after that date will be found in later series held at LMA which are not covered by these indexes. The indexes may also be consulted in LMA's Information Area. The indexes list captains by name, noting variants given, followed by date and place of birth, also noting variants. The certificate number, and its place and date of award, if known, are listed, with a note of changes in the number and the volume in which this first occurs. Not all this information is found in every volume: in some entries a captain may be known only by his initials, or his birthplace may be listed in a partial form. If information of this kind, such as date of birth, is not given in the indexes, it is not to be found in the original.
