The footbridge presumably predates the 1980s Metro conversion. According to Pevsner's guide it is the only surviving bit of the original 1865 station (then called just Gosforth), although the style may suggest an origin in the North Eastern Railway that took over the line in 1874. Viewed here at dusk on a winter day.
