Watch "The Full Works":
The film we made as part of our commemoration and reunion to mark 35 years since the closure of the BREL Shildon Works which was, of course, the main reason that Shildon Railway Institute was built.
This oral history documentary features six former workers recall their time and experiences at the works in a frank and often humorous way, along with imagery of the works in its heyday as well as the present day.
The film was made at no cost by members of the Shildon Heritage Alliance CIC.
Available for Hire

Saving Our "Stute"
Shildon Railway Institute, or the "Stute" as it's affectionately known, is without a doubt in need of a little tender care to bring it back to a condition it once enjoyed in Shildon's railway glory days.
