See Image for a view from the other side. The Baric Systems building shown to the right of this view in Image has now been demolished, leaving a clear view of the arched viaduct to the right that led into the old Oakwellgate station This was "situated on a 32ft high artificial mound surrounded on three sides by a brick and masonry retaining wall" [Source: https://www.twsitelines.info/SMR/4368 ]. It is still shown as 'Goods Sta' on the 1967 OS map, but beyond the wall is now the car park for the nearby Sage Centre. Traffic was queuing for at least 300 metres for the junction with the A167 (Tyne Bridge approach).
