you could smell darlington from about 20 miles away in years gone by because it was noted for it's tanneries which were basically pits full of human and animal piss which they used to cure the animals hides, they also take praise for the stockton to darlington railway when in truth it was the smaller town of shildon which undertook all of the earlier hard work and not darlington, without the pease family darlington would have continued to be a hamlet
