Soho Cottage
About six months before the opening of the Stockton and Darlington Railway in 1825,
the Committee, appointed Timothy Hackworth as the company’s Superintendent of permanent and locomotive engines.
They found him this cottage, with the benefits that it would be rent free and with the ‘fire’ paid for.
It was his home in Shildon until his death twenty-five years later in 1850.
The building, close to the site of the old engine works, is part of a terrace which has been subjected to many transformations over the intervening years.
