Robert Stephenson, M.P. The earliest indication of George Stephenson's genius for mechanics showed itself at Killingworth, where he effectually repaired his own eight-day house clock, that was out of order; and he thenceforth became the watchmaker of the village, an occupation to which he devoted many leisure hours.
Soon after this, a large condensing machine erected at the colliery for pumping water from the pit got out of order, and various ineffectual attempts were made to repair it.
Rolt, in his biography of the Stephensons, concludes that it seems probable that both reached the same ends quite independently but that Stephenson must be credited with maintain-ing a dignified silence over the matter, in marked contrast to Davys unseemly efforts to prove his claim.

Q.        Could any more details be provided in respect of the proposed developments at Tapton Hall and the experimental gardens.
R.        The developers of the scheme at Tapton Hall were looking at a residential scheme on the site, including the area of experimental gardens.  It was suggested that the proposed scheme be reported back, either to the resident asking the question or to the Area Panel, when the plans had been produced.
Q.        Why was it the case that despite there being large scale housing developments on Harcourt Road, and the fact that Crookes Valley Park was within 50 yards of this area, the Park would not benefit from this Section 106 funding on the basis that the area was not deemed to be in Broomhill?
