The notice board on the right shows the start of the Preston Waggonway discovered by pupils at Collingwood Primary School in North Shields in 2005. Preston Waggonway carried coal from the small Preston pit, which used to lie roughly where the bowling club and Heaton Terrace are located today, to Tynemouth Gas Company works in North Shields. The gasholder in Minton Lane, at the end of the Waggonway Trail, was dismantled in 2009. http://www.jimscott.co.uk/Local/LH_440_waggonways.html
