Darlington's history is popularly seen as the story of Quakers and railways but there is much more to the town's history than this. Along the way, as the town grew rapidly in the 19th century, it was a group of Quaker Darlington business men who masterminded the beginnings of Britain's railway system in the town.This book will look back over the centuries to uncover the fascinating history of the town. From its beginnings as a Saxon settlement, it became the southern stronghold of the Land of the Prince Bishops, a market town, had its own Great Fire long before London, provided inns for travellers along the Great North Road, became an industrial centre and faced the 21st century with a diversified economy as the old heavy industries closed.
Stories of the town's rebels, reformers, activists, benefactors, heroes and campaigners, England's first black professional football player, as well
