Tracks of Change - Gateway to the World

Following a major redevelopment, Preston Park will open its new exhibition space with Tracks of Change, a series of exhibitions exploring the impact and legacy of the Stockton & Darlington Railway. The transformation of Preston Park is being funded after the Council secured £20 million of funding for work in Yarm and Eaglescliffe from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local
Government.

Gateway to the World - A collection of nationally significant paintings will go on display together for the first time at Preston Park. This powerful exhibition, set to open in the autumn, will highlight the important role that the birth of the railway played in creating tourism through day trips and travel opportunities for all, regardless of class.
