“I never met my great grandmother Nora, but she hovers around the edges of my mother’s memory. A tiny woman, she died when my mam was about 7.  She remembers her baby teeth coming out at the time.”

Our Line brings you the real and imagined stories of the people from towns along the Bishop Line, in exactly the time it takes a train to go from Darlington to Bishop Auckland

Bonus Track

There is a bonus track which accompanies the story Our Line. It includes excerpts from interviews with volunteers from Darlington and towns along the Bishop Line, who kindly helped us to research the content. We looked at old photographs, talked about how these places used to be, and reminisced about train journeys. These stories are really alive and personal.
