Photographed on 16th September 2003 using an Olympus AF-10 Super (not sure about the type of film) and scanned using an Epson Perfection 2480 Photo. The weather was fine. Monkwearmouth Station Museum occupies the former Monkwearmouth Railway Station opened in 1848 and closed to passenger traffic in 1967. It became a museum in 1973 and is managed by Tyne and Wear Museums on behalf of the City of Sunderland. The railway from Sunderland to Newcastle passes by the site giving a good view of the trains that are constantly passing by much to the delight of visitors both young and old!!
