The Stockton Flyer

Housed in the plinth on Stockton High Street, The Stockton Flyer is an artwork by artists Rob Higgs and Keith Newstead. It is a large scale moving artwork that is based on the Locomotion No 1 steam engine which ran from Stockton to Darlington. The automated sculpture emerges from the top of the plinth, moving parts such as wheels, bells, and emitting steam.
