The home of Timothy Hacworth at Shildon. Over 25 years, Timothy Hackworth designed and built several pioneering locomotives. During this time Shildon developed into a railway town and its workers became highly skilled in heavy engineering. This was the foundation of an industry which would last in the town until 1984.
