George Stephenson's Birthplace is an 18th-century stone cottage that was once the home of rail pioneer George Stephenson. This historic site offers a unique glimpse into the early life of one of the key figures in the development of the railway system. The cottage is located in the village of Wylam, Northumberland, along the north bank of the River Tyne.
Exhibits about Stephenson's Rocket
The house also used to feature exhibits about Stephenson's Rocket, an early steam locomotive. Although the museum is no longer open to the public, the historical significance of the site and its connection to the development of the railway system remains.
