Dressed for Departure: Fashion in the Age of Rail
A new display exploring the transformational impact of rail on the everyday.
Commemorating the Stockton and Darlington Railway’s bicentenary, this special exhibition brings together historic fashion, toys and artworks that reflect on how the engineering marvel reshaped lives and culture. See the world’s first toy train set up close, gifted by Edward Pease, the ‘Father of the Railway’, to his son, garments from key moments in the region’s railway history and artworks that capture its journey through the picturesque landscapes of Teesdale.
