Soho Works

[Haggerleases]

Hello all.

I'm after a bit of assistance.

I'm interested in modelling the Shildon Soho works circa mid 1800's and I'm in the early research stages. I have books about Mr Hackworth, been on Graces guide, looked at old maps etc, all the usual things, but I'm after ground level pictures of the buildings and other infrastructure.

I remember a charming, but now quite dilapidated model of the area in a small case at Locomotion Museum, but I don't think it is on display any more. I have contacted the museum for information on this.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction? I was thinking of a static diorama in 1:150 scale. Perhaps smaller.

 

Many thanks
