Platform 1 at Middleton St George
The pub, Platform 1, at Middleton St George was previously known as The Fighting Cocks. The rebranding reflects the history of the inn which was built in 1830 adjacent to the original route of the Stockton & Darlington Railway. That route has now been converted to a railway path.
There are moves, presumably currently on-going, (November 2020), to see the pub operate as a community asset; the village website tells more - https://middleton-st-george.org.uk/platform-1-fighting-cocks-a-community-owned-pub-for-middleton-st-george/

Fighting Cocks
The Fighting Cocks lies on the intersection of two ancient routes. The first running north/south is the Roman road of Rykenild Street which joined Humberside to Newcastle and crossed the River Tees a mile to the south. The second route is an old drovers road running from Carlisle to Yarm. In 1825 the Fighting Cocks Inn became the booking office of the Stockton to Darlington Railway.
