Image description: This cottage is the original booking office of the Stockton and Darlington railway, facing the former railway line. It is a brick two storeyed building with a door on the left with blind occulus above, a canted two storey bay in the centre and a bay on the right. It is here that the first railway passenger was booked in 1825 when George Stephenson trialled his first passenger locomotive. A bronze plaque, before on the left return, now in the centre of the canted bay, reads: "HERE IN 1825_ THE STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON RAILWAY COMPANY_BOOKED THE FIRST PASSENGER_THUS MAKING AN EPOCH_IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND".
