		Sir Alexander Butterworth, of the North Eastern Railway, was the father of the composer George Butterworth killed on the Western Front in 1916 aged 31 and still remembered as a minor master of the "English folk song" school.

		Northumbria saw the birth of railways in Britain, but Butterworth's "railway" movement is not a portrayal of Puffing Billy or Locomotive No. 1, as one might expect, but is instead a proud evocation of the Royal Border bridge at Berwick which carries the East Coast Main Line on its northward course towards the Scottish border.
