Key to the Industrial Revolution was Steam Power

Key to its successful exploitation and profound impact was when it became locomotive

One man had that key – Timothy Hackworth

What he made of it was not Rocket science...

Written with the co-operation of the family, author Mike Norman recreates his extraordinary life and accomplishments, portrayed through the family’s quest for social justice. His challenge is to the widespread belief that George Stephenson and his ’Rocket’ locomotive owned the bedrock of the development of the steam locomotive.

Drawing on family correspondence, material newly found in archives and extensive digitised sources he lays out an explosive new account about the early pioneers. Rather, it is Timothy Hackworth who was the man who breathed life into the locomotive. His natural inventiveness and skill would be fundamental in shaping the advent of the steam locomotive, engineering its future.

‘It wasn’t Rocket science’ is controversial; the conclusions of the family quest will reverberate, transforming the debate about the pioneers.
