My Father told me that when the Irish workmen were constructing Stocktons Railway Bridge that there had been a man killed when a stone had fallen on him. In memory of his friend one of the workmen chiselled out a crucifix in the stone that had killed him. If you look closely it is on the bend on Durham Road, go under the bridge and near the steps beside the bill board you will see the crucifix etched out in small holes in the block of stone.
