MY MUCH ESTEEMED LITERARY FRIEND,

FRANCIS MEWBURN, ESQ.,

CHIEF BAILIFF OF DARLINGTON,

AND FOR

FORTY YEARS THE VALUABLE AND VALUED LAW CLERK AND SOLICITOR TO THE STOCKTON & DARLINGTON RAILWAY,

(The earliest Passenger Line in the Kingdom, and the extension of which, at different times, to the various Places treated of in the following Pages, has been alike a boon to Residents and Visitors),

THIS little Book is most affectionately dedicated, as a small acknowledgement of his great kindness in placing at my disposal, for the Local Works on which I have long been engaged, the many interesting and useful particulars relating to the Counties of York and Durham, collected by him during a long and laborious life, the leisure of which has been passed in studying and noting down whatever he could meet with relating to the History of the North of England.
