Large water pipe near Close Lea
Image: © Andrew Curtis Taken: 31 Mar 2011
This large pipe, alongside the track from Heddon Banks to Close Lea, south of Heddon on the Wall village, crosses the trackbed of the former mineral tramway that runs south from the disused Killiebrigs Quarry. The structure above the pipe is designed to support its weight as it is elevated above the tramway on large cast-iron columns. More will be revealed about this pipe: where it comes from, where it goes, who built it and when on the Heddon Local History blog http://heddonhistory.weebly.com/1/post/2013/03/northumbrian-pipes.html
