Thanks for the story about St Cuthbert and him carrying a head in his right hand. Quaker Cemetery, I've passed the Quaker Building many, many times but never knew of the Cemetery. Cheers mate TTFN

I visited Darlington in 2022, going back next year for another visit to see Raby Castle

I have lived in Darlington for 15 years and I think it is an awesome town :) Thank you for your comment and hope you enjoy yourself next year.

Yay! Arthur Wharton and all things Darlo. If you are planning a visit there is an award winning pub run by a mate of mine The Quakerhouse which is in the town centre and well worth a visit.

Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I’m backpacking around the world for a year so won’t be back home in Darlington until the end of next year.

[@libertinoradio4597]

The brick train was completed in 1997 not 1987. I know this because when I attended Heathfield primary school we all put something in a 'time captual' that was encased in the brick train itself. Can't remember what exactly because I was 9-10 years old. But it definitely wasn't about in 1987 as that was the year I was born.

[@olderbackpacker]

I think it was definitely a slip of the tongue! Too many facts to remember in my small brain ha ha but thank you 😀

[@JohnBerryman-g2n]

Great video mate,but I must correct you on the building of the Brick Train, Designer was David Mach and the train known as the Mallard was built in 1997.

[@olderbackpacker]

Thank you for letting me know. Unfortunately I got my information from google. I know we shouldn't trust everything online! :)

[@MrsHRPufnstuf]

[@olderbackpacker]
