ABOUT SHILDON
Shildon
Shildon is a town and civil parish in County Durham, in England. The population taken at the 2011 Census was 9,976. National Railway Museum opened in Shildon in September 2004 and links with the existing Timothy Hackworth Museum. The Museum provides an opportunity to view the history of the railways and one exhibit on show will be Sans Pareil – the pioneering locomotive built by Hackworth in Shildon in 1829.’
St. John’s Parish Church, at the end of Main Street was opened on Sunday, 29th June, 1834. On the foundation stone, laid during 1833, is the following inscription, now almost obliterated: ‘Mine house shall be called a house of prayer’. The Church when completed, was a Gothic Structure, consisting of chancel, nave and a square tower containing two bells. The re-building of the Church was completed in 1882, when amongst other changes, a new organ was installed. The Church surrounded by trees, consists of nave, two aisles, chancel and handsome west tower, an addition completed in 1902. of stone in the Early English manner, the tower has two sets of Lancet windows and is capped by a short conical steeple.
Close outside the parish church, at the end of Main Street is the War Memorial, a stone plinth surmounted by a statue of a soldier and with plaques bearing the names of Shildon men who fell in two world wars and in the Korean campaign. The Unveiling & Dedication took place on Sunday, 2nd June, 1957.
Hackworth Park, Shildon boasts one of the finest parks in South West Durham, known locally as the’ recreation ground’. It was opened on Saturday 28th September 1912; an occasion marked by much celebration including a “massed assemblance” of some 3,200 schoolchildren who gathered in the Market Place, together with horses, cyclists, pit ponies, the fire brigade, ambulance parties, the RAMC, representatives of miners’ lodges, Scouts, and two bands – The Wesleyan Band (which became Shildon Town Band) and the Temperance Silver Band. They marched along Church Street, Main Street and Byerley Road, into New Shildon, and along Adelaide Street into Alma Road arriving at the Recreation Ground via St. John’s Road.
On August 30th 1913 the Bandstand was officially opened to the assembled population by the town councillors ‘amid much ceremony and many speeches,’ and the LNER band played to the audience seated around the perimeter.
The Committee of the Old Shildon Workingmen’s Club placed an order with Darlington iron mongers Croft & Hall, in 1913 for a drinking fountain, to be situated in the park for the enjoyment of the people of Shildon, at a cost of £124 – 9s – 11d. This had a grand ornate canopy set upon iron pillars on a stone base, with a centre column beneath the wide bowl upon which rested the fountain head formed by a tube surrounded by herons. Drinking was by means of tin cups hung from chains upon the central structure, but these were removed sometime later during a scarlet fever outbreak.
Around the cast iron canopy are arranged circular plaques commemorating the sponsors, and remembering Shildon railway heritage. At the presentation of the fountain to the people of Shildon in 1914, only two official representatives of the Workingmen’s Club were permitted to be present amongst the councillors and invited dignitaries.
The most spectacular piece of municipal ironwork in this area is the Walter Macfarlane and Company octagonal fountain in Shildon Hackworth Park. The ornate fountain, which carries the name of Macfarlane’s Saracen foundry on its legs and a picture of Hackworth’s Royal George engine around its top. It says it was “Presented to the inhabitants of Shildon by the members of the Old Shildon Workmen’s’ Club, November 1914”.
1924 saw the addition of a fine building, later known as the ‘Rest House’, which was built from local miners subscriptions for the enjoyment of the people of Shildon.
In 1941 the iron railings surrounding the park were taken down and given to the war effort, but the gates still survive, as does the drinking fountain and band stand, but gone are the two shelters and the public toilets which stood in the grounds. The rest house, used for many years as a meeting place for the elderly was vandalised in the 1990s and lay in semi ruin but was restored in 2004 to its former glory. A statue of Timothy Hackworth, which stood on a plinth proudly overlooking the park, was also vandalised in the 1960’s and was broken beyond repair, a new statue was erected in its place in 2003.
