Britain's What's On Event Guide
Westbrook Guided Walk and Heritage Day
Heritage Open Day: A guided walk through the normally gated private glade in the heart of Hopetown Darlington. Get involved in our plans for the 2025 bicentenary of the railway and celebrate the nature, architecture and social history that makes Westbrook unique. Westbrook is an oasis of calm and birdsong in the heart of the busy railway quarter of Darlington. Our walk will start close to the new Hopetown Darlington museum, where we will consider the green field site prior to work on the 1825 Railway. We go on to view the significant architectural remains of the railway at Westbrook, including the Tally Man's Cabin and Coal Drop walls. We will discuss the period of use as a pleasure garden in the 1850s - identifying some immense beech tree survivors of this planting.
