I had a tour of Stephenson's Works - the remains of the world's first locomotive factory - earlier this afternoon. Now buried behind public artworks, a casino, and a Royal Mail delivery office, it was here Stephenson designed the historic Locomotion and Rocket, as well as some of the first ever engines to run in Australia, the US, Egypt and continental Europe. This too, don't forget, has been one of the centres of the world.
