Description
This is a former railway coach house, built circa 1831 for Daniel Adamson. It is constructed of hammer-dressed sandstone with a renewed Welsh slate roof. The building is a tall, single-story structure with flush quoins. The front is gabled and features a blocked semicircular-arched opening with flush voussoirs and impost bands. A late 20th-century boarded door has been inserted, with a replaced four-pane sash window above. The roof has renewed coped gables and shaped footstones. The two-bay left return has a low plinth and two similar blind arched openings. The gabled rear also contains similar blocked openings.
The coach house was built in 1831 after Daniel Adamson pioneered a horse-drawn railway coach, named Perseverance, which ran between Shildon and Darlington in 1827. The building served as both a station and a shed when the Surtess Railway opened. It is considered to be probably the earliest surviving railway coach house in the world.
