Stephenson
Join the steam revolution
Re-live the glorious days of the steam railway at Stephenson Railway Museum in North Shields.
The Museum is home to George Stephenson's 'Billy', a forerunner of the world- famous Rocket. 'Billy' is joined by many other engines from the great age of steam including 'Jackie Milburn', named after the Newcastle United legend.
Rides on a real steam train can be taken and the story of coal and electricity's impact on ordinary people's lives can be discovered. Fun activities for all ages are regularly held alongside temporary exhibitions.
Stephenson Railway Museum is managed by Tyne & Wear Museums on behalf of North Tyneside Council.
