Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Wylam Wagonway. At one time this was the route of the road between Newcastle and Hexham, preceding both the Military Road and the A69. A waggonway linking Wylam colliery with the coal staithes at Lemington was built alongside it before 1763, one of the earliest on Tyneside. Wagons were drawn by horses along wooden rails.
Iron rails and two steam locomotives made by William Hedley, Wylam Dilly and Puffing Billy 1123205 were in use by 1815. George Stephenson was born by the waggonway 5428 and went on to develop further locomotives that were to revolutionise railways for passenger transport. The waggonway is now part of Hadrian's Way path, which turns right at this signpost, and a national cycle route. |
