A carved stone on the Stephenson Heritage Trail.
The Stephenson Trail follows the route taken by coal wagons on their way from Hetton Colliery to the River Wear. The Stephenson brothers designed the railway in the 19th century. The main coal seam was reached in September of 1822. The success of the brothers paved the way for later mining operations in the area, new collieries nearby were opened in 1825. George and Robert Stephenson designed a railway to transport coal reserves to the River Wear. The railway was over 8 miles and was the longest railway in existence and the first to use locomotives. It remained in use for the next 137 years. The Hetton Railway closed in 1959.
The trail leads from Elmore over Warden Law and ends at the River Wear if you fancy a good walk. (11 miles in total)
If you are doing the trail take note of the carved stone, the cache will be soon located. If not, a quick park and grab is also achievable.
This is my first hide. Good Luck!!
