It is owned by the National Trust but is not open to the public in 2021 on account of COVID-19. Wylam has further connections with the early railway pioneers. The steam locomotive engineer Timothy Hackworth, who worked with Stephenson, was also born here. William Hedley who was born in the nearby village of Newburn attended the village school. He later went on to design and manufacture Puffing Billy in 1813, two years before George Stephenson produced his first locomotive Blücher. Christopher Blackett as lord of the manor in the first 30 years of the 19th century provided the entrepreneurial drive that encouraged these engineers. (en)

  • Wylam è una cittadina situata circa 16 km ad ovest di Newcastle upon Tyne. Fa parte del distretto di Tynedale, a sua volta incluso nella contea del Tyne and Wear (precedentemente nel Northumberland). La sua fama deriva dal fatto d'essere luogo di nascita di George Stephenson e del figlio Robert, tra i pionieri dell'ingegneria ferroviaria, e sede, già dal 1748, di una linea protoferroviaria in legno su cui anche Trevithick, altro ingegnere del campo, ebbe modo di lavorare. La casa di Stephenson padre è tuttora visibile sulla riva settentrionale del fiume Tyne, appena fuori dal centro abitato. È sotto la protezione del National Trust e può essere visitata. Nei tempi andati una zona industriale con miniere di carbone e acciaierie, ora è solo una città di passaggio/attraversamento per pendolari tra le città vicine di Newcastle e Hexham, sulla linea ferroviaria della .Un ponte ad arco, il Points Bridge, chiamato anche ponte a mezzaluna, 80 m in ferro battuto che consentivano a un'altra linea ferroviaria del passato di attraversare il fiume, è ora un ponte solo pedonale: costruito nel 1876, si ritiene che possa essere stato il modello per il successivo ponte sullo stesso fiume nella vicina città di Newcastle stessa. Le abitazioni sono circa 800, e la chiesa parrocchiale risale al 1886 circa. (it)
