View NE, towards Annfield Plain, Birtley and Newcastle, also Pelaw and Tyne Dock: ex-NER line - passenger from Newcastle, goods from Tyne Dock. The latter included the celebrated heavy iron-ore workings to Consett Steelworks, which were on the Blackhill line, behind and to the west of this view. Consett station was closed to passengers from 23/5/55, but until 1980 this view would be full of railway sidings and the station buildings survived until then at least.
