    Thanks for the story about St Cuthbert and him carrying a head in his right hand. Quaker Cemetery, I've passed the Quaker Building many, many times but never knew of the Cemetery.
    Cheers mate TTFN

    Yay! Arthur Wharton and all things Darlo. If you are planning a visit there is an award winning pub run by a mate of mine The Quakerhouse which is in the town centre and well worth a visit.

      Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I’m backpacking around the world for a year so won’t be back home in Darlington until the end of next year.

    The brick train was completed in 1997 not 1987. I know this because when I attended Heathfield primary school we all put something in a 'time captual' that was encased in the brick train itself. Can't remember what exactly because I was 9-10 years old. But it definitely wasn't about in 1987 as that was the year I was born.

      I think it was definitely a slip of the tongue! Too many facts to remember in my small brain ha ha but thank you 😀

    Great video mate,but I must correct you on the building of the Brick Train, Designer was David Mach and the train known as the Mallard was built in 1997.

      Thank you for letting me know. Unfortunately I got my information from google. I know we shouldn't trust everything online! :)

      I have honestly never heard of it. Just had to google it to find out more. Definitely going to see it next time I’m back in UK
