Biciklizam

George Stephenson's birthplace is a simple stone worker's cottage on the north bank of the River Tyne in Wylam, built circa 1760 to house mining families, and where the future railway pioneer was born in 1781. A Grade II* listed building owned by the National Trust, it is now a historic house museum with original furnishings and displays about Stephenson's childhood and early locomotives, and is opened to visitors by costume guides who wish to experience the living conditions of a Georgian mining family.

To understand why this rather modest-looking house remains an attractive destination for visitors to Wylam to this day, we must go back a few centuries in history. To be precise, to June 9, 1781. On that day, a baby named George Stephenson was born here – of course, no one at the time could have imagined that this man would later become an engineer and a railway pioneer famous beyond the borders of the British Isles.

A picture of his famous locomotive, the "Rocket," can be found at the following link on Wikipedia =>> de.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stephenson#/media/Datei:Stephenson's_Rocket.jpg
