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.

The Evolution of the Steam Locomotive, 1803 to 1898 (1899)
> g s J> ° "^ Q as : F7 lA-dh-**^) THE EVOLUTION OF THE STEAM LOCOMOTIVE (1803 to 1898.) BY Q. A. SEKON, Editor of the "Railway Magazine" and "Hallway Year Book, Author of "A History of the Great Western Railway," *•., 4*. 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.

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.

Revised edition published as “Where Railways were born” in 1979, with minor revisions in 2003. © Philip R. B. Brooks 1975, 1979, 2003.

Although “Wylam Geordie” – as Stephenson was affectionately know on Tyneside – is undoubtedly Wylam’s most famous “son”, several other important early railway pioneers have lived and also worked in the village, which was the scene of historic experiments with locomotives early in the 19th century. The major contribution which Wylam and its engineers made to the history of railways and the development of steam locomotives has not always been recognised.

Burnhopeside Hall
Durham County Council Review of Historic Parks, Gardens and Designed Landscapes of Local Interest Burnhopeside Hall Burnhopeside Hall Grid Reference NZ186461 Date February 2017 Author Fiona Green Planning Status Not previously identified in local plans Not within Conservation Area Site Designations Burnhopeside Hall and Farm Buildings Grade II* List Entry Number 1299442 Ancient Woodland to south of hall (out of study area) History 18th-century house altered early 19th-century for William Hedley (1779-1843) designer of the locomotive Puffing Billy. 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.

A Journey Through the Industrial Revolution-6-6-15

Peter had been ill but at that time was in remission from cancer. We were talking about Economic History and in particular the events and linkages of events pertaining to the Industrial Revolution in Britain in the 18th and 19th centuries. Peter was intending to take early retirement, and he and Jan had already planned a trip to the UK for the summer of 2012. Peter expressed a desire to see some of the places where key events in the Industrial Revolution had taken place. This desire struck a real chord with me as being very similar to the thoughts which might have occurred to the enquiring mind of a 17th/18th century scholar who would want to go and take a look and see what could be learnt. Peter was having difficulty drawing the information together so I said I would draft a proposed schedule for him. I am glad that I didn’t leave this too long; as the cancer returned over that Christmas and Peter died in February 2012.
