Why is there a picture of Stephenson's Rocket here. The Rocket didn't have anything to do with Newcastle. It was built to run at the Rainhill Trials near Liverpool on the Manchester and Liverpool Railway?. G-Man 22:56, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

The Rocket was designed and built in Newcastle, by Newcastle resident Stephenson.

The Stephenson works in Newcastle, the first loco factory in the world, is being restored by local people who have raised enormous sums. The Heritage Lottery Fund declined to assist.
