The Rocket

In our topic lesson this week we were learning about the Industrial Revolution.  As part of this we discovered a man called George Stephenson won a competition in Manchester, called The Rainhill Trials in 1829. His invention was a steam locomotive that didn’t need chains to pull and guide it. It was called The Rocket and was the only locomotive to cross the finish line in the race.
