No. 1

By Tony Stowers

Set in Regency England, "No. 1" draws on the real and the imagined from every region of the North East present at the birth of the railways, starting on 18th September 1810 in Stockton and finishing there on 28th September 1825, the day after the first ever railway trip between towns, an event that changed history - though history didn't record it inadvertently carrying a boy fleeing from a miscarriage of justice and an ex-Waterloo veteran intent on silencing him. Thankfully though, history can now be straightened out in this unique and ambitious re-creation by Darlington-born writer Tony Stowers who blends fact and fiction through the words and actions of real-life celebrated figures, recorded historical events and ordinary people whose lives were impacted by this revolutionary technology. It also includes a detailed fictionalised record of the famous date itself.
