Why blue and gold earrings? Blue was the colour chosen by the Stockton & Darlington Railway for the opening day celebration flags and ribbons because it represented quality and reliability. Blue ribbons with gold fringing were also produced for the 1875 S&DR celebrations. The colours were also inspired by the luxurious blue and gold velvet gown of the Railway Carnival Queen which started in 1925, the year of the 100th anniversary of the S&DR. The role of the Railway Queen was to act as a representative of the railway industry and to foster goodwill between companies and Trade Unions.
