Dial Cottage, West Moor

Description
"For 18 years between 1804 and 1822 the cottage was the home of George Stephenson and his son Robert. Above the front door is a sundial [[4810952]] which they made in 1816, and from which the cottage takes its name. George began building steam locomotives in a colliery workshop behind the cottage. In 1814 he tested his first engine 'Blucher' along the nearby Killingworth Waggonway [[4810882]]. As many as 16 locomotives may have been built in the workshop." Photo by Anthony Foster, 2015. -
