Fantastic visit to @hopetowndarl today - the work is coming along beautifully, can't wait for the summer opening - Thank you @MikeCrawshaw6 for the tour 😀👍🎥🚂 #Darlington
The Railway Tavern public house in Darlington, County Durham was one of three pubs built between 1826 and 1827 by the pioneering Stockton & Darlington Railway. These pubs were in effect proto-railway stations, built before the concept of the railway station had fully developed.
This evening I attended a partners meeting for the #Hopetown Visitor Venue opening in July next year in the Railway Heritage quarter. It is going to be truly spectacular and right on our doorstep how lucky are we #darlington ? @hopetowndarl
As @hopetowndarl is closed for redevelopment, the team has brought a mini museum to a local community centre. Toddlers are running a café, packing & moving objects, creating displays & contributing to the art gallery. This event is one of 12 Toddler #TakeoverDay events today 👶
💥 Today is @kidsinmuseums #TakeoverDay 2023! 💥 🏛️ We've built a mini-museum in Red Hall Community Centre and let the toddlers take over the running of it!
I will use every opportunity to show off this beautiful valet case that belonged to Sir Vincent Raven!
🤔Have you ever wondered what it’s like behind the scenes at a museum? You’ll be able to find out at Hopetown Darlington if you visit The Stores!
We recently received this wonderful deposit from a member of the public It's an agreement between Thomas Hustler and 5 members of the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company sub-committee It also includes a map showing the line of the Railway extending into Middlesbrough
News! @hopetowndarl, a new railway heritage attraction will open in #Darlington next year ahead of the bicentenary of the Stockton & Darlington Railway 🚂 We're proud to support the project with a £3.2m investment, thanks to #NationalLottery players. 👉 hopetowndarlington.co.uk
