Wylam




The 1st photo show a small stone cottage, built around 1750, which was the birthplace of railway pioneer George Stephenson. Stephenson was born here in 1781, and went on to make his name at nearby Wylam colliery. The cottage was once home to four pitmen's families, and the room in which Stephenson was born, and in which the whole family lived can be seen today, furnished in period style.

The 2nd & 3rd photos show Wylam Train Station. Wylam station is one of the oldest stations in the world still in passenger use.

I wish that little cottage were mine....! Looks so "cosy" and nice colors too.

Interesting post, Carol!
