A group of villagers outside 'Sundial Cottage', George Stephenson's home at Killingworth Colliery, where he built his first steam locomotive, the 'Blücher', in 1814. A basic locomotive can be seen outside the cottage, and a more advanced model crosses the stone bridge in the far background, representing the North-Eastern Line to Scotland. The group is discussing Stephenson: one woman reads the 'London Journal', containing Stephenson's portrait and a man holds a 'Geordie' lamp, Stephenson's safety-lamp for miners. Derived from a diminutive form of the inventor's name, it is said that the name lead to Tyneside miners also being called Geordies.
