Head of Steam - Darlington Railway Museum in United Kingdom

The "Head of Steam" Railway Museum.

Well informative Had a visit to the museum as reviews gave positive results Was not disappointed, great displays and lots of information on displays about what was once a major industry contributor too the railway industry Seeing...

Friendly staff Spent a pleasant morning wandering around and taking in the history. Some areas restricted due to Covid-19.

Very good coverage of the birth of railways generally and in the local area. I thought the museum tells the story about the birth of railways extremely well.

Visit the place where railways were born! Home of Stephenson's Locomotion No 1 and other rare engines. Set in our original 1840's railway station follow the history of Darlington and the growth of the railways. We have a shop with souvenirs to suit all tastes and pockets and a varied events programme. There really is something for everyone!
