Who built Darlington? Liberals.

From Joseph Pease to Edmund Backhouse, it was Liberals who had the vision, the drive and the passion to transform a sleepy market town into a powerhouse of the industrial revolution. 


They put us on the map and made us matter. 


With Liberal principles and vision, we can once again build a Darlington to be proud of.
