Image: © Andrew Curtis Taken: 8 Mar 2012
Taken from Whitfield Road, now cleared of houses for redevelopment, looking down on the cobbled lane shown on a 1950 plan as 'Scotswood Station Approach'. The bridge in the foreground takes the lane under the disused line of the Scotswood, Newburn & Wylam Railway just east of the tunnel Image There is a photo from the other side here Image Just beyond this bridge, the lane also passes under the disused line of the Newcastle & Carlisle Railway, on its former route to the Scotswood Railway Bridge. This line is now a cycleway. Both platforms of Scotswood Railway Station were once accessed by steps on its west side.
