STA - Stockton & Darlington Railway Murals Project

Stockton & Darlington Railway 200 Festival (S&DR200), c/o Stockton Council, will manage and produce a co-created set of murals co-funded by Historic England and Railway Heritage Trust as part of their public programme for the Railway 200 celebrations in 2025. Historic England and Railway Heritage Trust will co-fund 3-4 new murals, co-created with local communities. S&DR200 will oversee, manage and produce the programme, ensuring each mural is co-created and complies with Planning permissions.
