Opened in 1879 by the North Eastern Railway, this station was rebuilt and became part of the Tyne & Wear Metro in 1982, on the line from Pelaw to South Shields. View north east towards Jarrow and South Shields. The station was rebuilt as staggered platforms with a new eastbound platform now behind the camera position.
