Mortons Books  |  The Rocket Men
In 2013, a team of archaeologists hunting for Roman remains in a derelict Tyneside shipyard stumbled across the remains of one of the world’s first 'modern' railways.
Father and son went on to design and engineer many other railways, laying the foundations for today’s national railway network. They also introduced the steam locomotive to many other counties: Germany’s first steam engine was supplied by Robert Stephenson.
Thanks to the Stephensons, railways developed from little local coal-carrying affairs into a public rapid transit network which shrunk Britain and then the world.
This new book throws fresh light on these two founders of the modern world, looking at their legendary exploits through fresh material, in time for the 200th anniversary of George Stephenson’s first steam engine, which came 15 years before Rocket.
