Stephenson’s Rocket, the world-changing locomotive, which was built in Newcastle but has been in London for more than 150 years, is to go on long-term display in York.
The news of its return to the north of England was announced on Monday by the culture secretary, Jeremy Wright, as he attended Theresa May’s cabinet awayday to Gateshead.
Stephenson’s Rocket, designed by Robert Stephenson, is arguably the most famous of all early locomotives and has been a star of the Science Museum’s collection for more than a century.Information link
