Welcome to the 11th episode of Tales from the Rails, a podcast dedicated to uncovering the hidden stories of the Stockton & Darlington Railway.
This month, hosts Caroline Hardie and Angela Pickering explore the overlooked contributions of women in the railway's history.
Join Caroline and Angela as they delve into the lives of resilient women who defied societal norms to influence the evolution of the railway. From shareholders like the Peacock sisters to widows running essential passenger services, discover the stories of these pioneering women who were often written out of history.
Our Star of the S&DR is this episode's guest presenter, Angela Pickering, so stay tuned to find out why we have picked someone who is still alive.
