About Fencing in Darlington

Darlington shares its origins as a railway town with Stockton, the two linked by the Stockton and Darlington Railway of 1825, championed by local Quaker businessman Edward Pease, who recruited engineer George Stephenson in 1821 to help build the pioneering 26 mile line. Known locally as the Quaker Line, the railway carried coal from south Durham collieries to the coast, transforming everyday life across the region by heating homes and powering the mills and factories of the industrial north east.

Darlington sits on Permian and Triassic sandstone bedrock typical of the Tees valley, with the River Skerne creating areas of softer alluvial ground through the town. Higher ground away from the river tends to be firmer, generally suited to standard concreted fence post footings.
