Stephenson's Stockton and Darlington railway ( S & DR ) was built primarily to transport coal from several mines near Shildon to the port at Stockton-on-Tees.

In 1821, a wagonway was proposed that would connect the mines at West Durham, Darlington and the River Tees at Stockton, George Stephenson successfully argued that horse drawn wagonways were obsolete and a steam powered railway could carry 50 times as much coal.

Shortly after the completion of the Stockton and Darlington railway in 1825, coal transport prices began falling rapidly.

Planned to carry both goods and passengers, the line was initially built to connect inland coal mines to Stockton, where coal was to be loaded onto sea-going boats.

In 1834 a rival line, the Clarence Railway, was also built for the shipping of coal, this branched off from the Stockton and Darlington Railway at Shildon and terminated at Haverton Hill and Port Clarence on the opposite side of the river to Middlesbrough.

The opening of the railway greatly boosted Stockton, making it easier to bring coal to the factories ; however the port declined as business had moved down river to Middlesbrough.
