Footbridge, Tynemouth Station
Image: © Geoff Holland Taken: 2 Mar 2021
This Gothic style railway station, which was opened in July 1882 and is a Grade II* Listed building, was designed by William Bell for the North Eastern Railway Company. The main buildings are brick built with stone dressings and slate roofs. The principal feature of the station is undoubtedly the interior ironwork of the platform canopies and footbridge, the western stairs of which can be seen here. The arched canopies extend for about 200 yards, with ornamental spandrels and apex, supported on non-classical columns with foliated capitals.
