Beschreibung
Set in Regency England 1810-1825, 'No. 1' draws on the real and the imagined from the North East of England present at the birth of the railways, starting on 18th September 1810 and finishing there on 28th September 1825, the day after the first ever railway trip between two towns, a first that changed history. History didn't record it inadvertently carrying a boy fleeing from a miscarriage of justice and an ex-Waterloo veteran intent on silencing him, but history can now be straightened out. In this ambitious recreation by Darlington-born writer Antony J (Tony) Stowers, fact and fiction are blended through real-life personalities, known historical events and ordinary people whose lives were impacted by this revolutionary technology. It also features a re-imagined but detailed account of the opening itself on 27th September 1825. This is a special limited 500 edition print run featuring the cover by Terence Cuneo and available exclusively to buyers/residents of the United Kingdom.

Darlington for Culture Review

This is the story of an ordinary boy from an ordinary working-class family in an ordinary northern town. If that sounds ordinary, it's not!Jethro Anson Nowsty was born and brought up in Darlington and we follow his life from his very earliest memories up to his approaching adulthood. This mixed-up kid was born in the early 1960s and the author describes everyday life as it was then - warts 'n' all.
The music, food, transport, housing and entertainment of the 1960s and 1970s are all brought into clear focus in a series of short stories. Instead of a strictly chronological order, the author goes back and forth through the years writing in a way that draws the reader back in time to when a computer filled a whole room and dialling a phone number took longer than the call itself.
All of this is interwoven with national and international news and the background to all of these stories is Darlington. All the landmark buildings, roads and parks, shops and schools are mentioned and described. It's a history of a special time in a special town, told with humour and affection through the eyes of a special 'mixed-up kid'.'
