  • The 1825 Stockton & Darlington Railway
    The 1825 S&DR: Preparing for 2025; Significance & Management. The 1825 Stockton & Darlington Railway: Historic Environment Audit Volume 1: Significance & Management October 2016 Archaeo-Environment for Durham County Council, Darlington Borough Council and Stockton on Tees Borough Council. Archaeo-Environment Ltd for Durham County Council, Darlington Borough Council and Stockton Borough Council 1 The 1825 S&DR: Preparing for 2025; Significance & Management. Executive Summary The ‘greatest idea of modern times’ (Jeans 1974, 74). This report arises from a project jointly commissioned by the three local authorities of Darlington Borough Council, Durham County Council and Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council which have within their boundaries the remains of the Stockton & Darlington Railway (S&DR) which was formally opened on the 27th September 1825. The report identifies why the S&DR was important in the history of railways and sets out its significance and unique selling point. This builds upon the work already undertaken as part of the Friends of Stockton and Darlington Railway Conference in June 2015 and in particular the paper given by Andy Guy on the significance of the 1825 S&DR line (Guy 2015). This report provides an action plan and makes recommendations for the conservation, interpretation and management of this world class heritage so that it can take centre stage in a programme of heritage led economic and social regeneration by 2025 and the bicentenary of the opening of the line. More specifically, the brief for this Heritage Trackbed Audit comprised a number of distinct outputs and the results are summarised as follows: A. Identify why the S&DR was important in the history of railways and clearly articulate its significance and unique selling point.

This is reflective of the volume and quality of stock relative to other areas of the County. It further identifies Durham City’s ability to attract national and international office occupiers, stating that the market appeal is underpinned by factors such as the East Coast Mainline (ECML), world class university and quality of life, as well as its accessibility to the strategic road network. 1.2 Despite the attractiveness of the City, the ELR finds that Durham’s ability to attract large scale office requirements of private sector professional firms have been limited by the constraints of the historic city centre and shortage of suitable sites. 1.3 Analysis indicates the Durham City market area currently accounts for 28.5% of all office floorspace within the County. Whilst implied demand indicates a need for up to 11ha of office development, assuming that Durham City is to maintain a proportionate share of office space, this would imply 18.5ha of land for office development in Durham City.
