Wylam
Wylam is a town in the region of Northumberland. It lies about 10 miles (16 km) west of Newcastle upon Tyne. It is renowned for the being the birthplace of George Stephenson, one of the very early train pioneers. George Stephenson's Birthplace, his cottage, can be located on the north bank of the Tyne 3/4 mile (1.2 kilometres) eastern of the village centre. It is possessed by the National Trust yet is closed to the general public. Wylam has further connections with the very early train leaders. The steam locomotive designer Timothy Hackworth, who worked with Stephenson, was additionally birthed below. William Hedley that was birthed in the nearby town of Newburn attended the town institution. He later took place to make and produce Blowing Billy in 1813, two years before George Stephenson created his first locomotive Blücher. Christopher Blackett as lord of the chateau in the initial 30 years of the 19th century gave the business drive that encouraged these designers.
