The Birthplace of Mr. Robert Stephenson, M.P. C.E. 1858. Creator: Unknown
The Birthplace of Mr. Robert Stephenson, M.P. C.E. 1858. The cottage of the late Mr. George Stephenson, at Hillington, is in course of being pulled down, it being intended to erect a memorial building to the Stephensons on its site. Mr. Robert Stephenson, M. P. paid a visit to his birthplace previous to the removal of the cottage, and at the same time he inspected the plans for the Stephenson Memorial School...many will regret the demolition of this house, which is so intimately associated with the history of two such eminent men...In this house George Stephenson spent every moment of his leisure in making ingenious models of machinery, cutting out pitmen's jackets, repairing and cleaning clocks...Here the future eminent engineer passed some happy years, respected by all who knew him for his sterling honesty and kindly disposition...In the second story of this house, in the room lighted by the window next to that built up with brickwork, Robert Stephenson, the worthy son of so eminent a father, first saw the light; and in the same room a cloud was cast over the domestic felicity of Stephenson by the death of his youthful and amiable wife'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the birthplace of Robert Stephenson, M.P. and C.E. (Member of Parliament and Civil Engineer), located in Hillington, which was in the process of being demolished in 1858 to make way for a memorial building. The cottage was once the home of Robert's father, George Stephenson, a renowned engineer and inventor, who spent his leisure time in the house creating ingenious models of machinery and repairing clocks. The future eminent engineer spent some of his happiest years in this humble abode, respected by all for his honesty and kind disposition. In the second story of this house, the room lit by the window next to the brickwork, Robert Stephenson was born. However, a shadow was cast over the domestic felicity of the Stephenson family when Robert's young and amiable wife passed away. The cottage, which holds significant historical value, is now being torn down, and many will lament its loss as it is so intimately associated with the lives of two such eminent men. This photograph is taken from an article in the "Illustrated London News" published in 1858. The image provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history of two remarkable individuals and the place that shaped their early lives.
