This house was built by the Stockton & Darlington for Timothy Hackworth who was appointed as the company's resident engineer in 1825. He is best known for the locomotives he designed, including 'Sans Pareil' which took part in the famous Rainhill trials of 1829. The house is now part of the National Railway Museum's 'Locomotion' site here at Shildon.
