Construction work has begun on New Hall, and MGL Group is proud to be part of a tribute to railway history. Nationwide Engineering appointed Rainton Construction to undertake the full enabling and groundworks package, and MGL Earthworks is working as part of the delivery team for Locomotion.
New Hall tells the story of the North East’s role in early railway development. The brand-new building will house impressive displays and draw on Shildon’s unique heritage as the cradle of the railway. It will be a key hub in the plans to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Stockton & Darlington Railway opening in 2025.
Chris Ayre (Senior Project Manager), Cllr Elizabeth Scott of DCC and Dr Sarah Price (Head of Locomotion) attended a ground-breaking ceremony to mark the start of the build.
New Hall is due to open at the end of 2023.
