Was it the Surtees Line???
Sorry Allan...my Shildon geography is poor...this is Soho Cottages, what's now the Timothy Hackworth Museum, and the lines which used to be infront. My Great Grandparents lived in this side house. Were these the lines going to the engine sheds?? a...

Good lord Rambo I'd have loved to have seen that! Thanks for your description, I can almost imagine it...I wonder if anyone ever took pictures of such times. I'd heard the reservoir had had a bad effect ( or good depending on your thoughts!)

I was born in the north east and even 'tho I don't live there now I still think of it as my home. I have lots of family lines from Shildon through the 1800-1900s, the last ones to live there were maybe 1950ish, and are buried at All Saints Church. My Grandad was born in Shildon, and lived in Byerley Road until 1938. I've joined mainly for family-history, and I love the old photographs! My family are from all over the North East and I've some lines back until 1600.
