RIP Alan Shoulder. Former NUFC striker signed from Blyth Spartans for whom he combined playing with his job as a miner at Horden Colliery.
His wages went from £14 a week to £300.

Louis Pasteur, a man who saved millions upon millions of people, was born on December 27, 1822. If he lived in today's world he would probably have thousands of people on Twitter demanding he be imprisoned because he "ruined their milk freedom".

The chequerboard building beneath the viaduct at Knaresborough is said to have origins in the C13th and is rumoured to have been built as a hunting lodge for King John. Also, it is thought, where Cromwell recieved the surrender of the town during the English Civil War.

For all those out there not from Yorkshire (or the north of England), by far the best way to eat Christmas cake is with Wensleydale cheese. The cheese originated with French Cistercian monks from the Roquefort region, who settled at Fors Abbey and later Jervaulx in Wensleydale.

Christmas pressie idea for the train fan! Next year sees the 200th anniversary of the George Stephenson 'Stockton & Darlington Railway' - BIG things are planned. You can get our new film all about it here 😍https://www.amazon.co.uk/Iron-Steam-Stockton-Darlington-Railway/dp/B0D9YM19QK #Railways
Iron & Steam - The Dawn of the Stockton & Darlington Railway
The opening of the Stockton & Darlington Railway on the morning of the 27th of September 1825 marked the birth of modern railways. Built by George Stephenson, this twenty-six mile long line in the north east of England was a significant milestone, and the beginning of a railway network that would eventually span the world. ‘Iron & Steam – The Dawn of the Stockton & Darlington Railway’ investigates how this ground-breaking line came to be, as well as exploring the early mineral railways that led to this incredible achievement. Featuring the latest research and interviews with experts, the film tells the comprehensive story of the railway that delivered the modern world.

Next year the Stockton & Darlington Railway will celebrate its 200th birthday! It is important to remember that, although the railway is famous for steam locomotives, the first few miles were powered by stationary steam engines, gravity and horse power! All equally ingenious
