Story of Brusselton Incline

The Brusselton Incline has an incredible tale to tell - part of one of the world's greatest and first railway stories - here you can hear that story and read more about the context in which it is set.

We made this film with the Shildon Heritage Alliance as part of a 2020 Heritage Action Zone Festival.

It gives an overview of the formation of the Stockton & Darlington Railway and explains the creation and purpose of the Brusselton Incline.

The Story of the Stockton & Darlington Railway

You can discover a great deal more about the story of the Stockton & Darlington Railway - the company that built, owned and operated the Brusselton Incline - at the website for the Friends of the Stockton & Darlington Railway.

However, for your convenience and enjoyment we also present here five wonderfully illustrated papers created by local history researcher Gerald Slack that explore - in five stages - aspects of the story of that railway company and specifically its roots in this area.
