The large, well dressed stones and angles in this front garden wall are the only indications that this is all that remains of the north east abutment of Station Road Bridge, which carried the Birtley, Annfield Plain and Consett railway over the northwest end of Durham Road adjacent to the junction with Station Road and Spring Close. The former railway is now only used by walkers, cyclists and horse riders exercising on the Consett and Sunderland Railway Path. There is an Ordnance Survey cut benchmark on one of the large stone quoins on the face of the wall (detail photograph Image).
