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.

    (Ro00^^ (See xiv. 122, 128, 139) ORACE M. LIPPINCOTT, of Philadelphia, has favoured us with a letter respecting the persons above-mentioned, who are also referred to in his attractive book, A Portraiture of the People called Quakers. Our Friend holds to the opinion that the incidents connected with these two women are historical. He writes : " The Betsy Ross tradition is a strong one in her family . and is of great age " ; he encloses a copy of a letter from a descendant of Betsy, who states : " We do believe that she made the first flag after being waited upon by a committee from Congress. We only claim that she suggested how the five-pointed star could be cut quickly — with one clip of the scissors . « and yet have no documentary proof to show." What has the new edition of Preble's Origin and History of the A merican Flag, to say about Betsy Ross ? With regard to Lydia Darragh, H. M. Lippincott sends an offprint from a publication of the City Historical Society of Philadelphia, containing an address on Lydia Darragh, one of the Heroines of the Revolution, 1915, which presents a statement in favor of the historicity of the narrative.
