This terrace includes a converted chapel. Needless to say, the nearby station (Leamside) on the Leamside Line has long since ceased to be.

Disused railway, Leamside
The railway line through Leamside formed part of the original railway route from London to Edinburgh. Long distance trains were diverted onto current route through Durham, which is more direct, when that line opened in 1872. Local passenger trains continued to run on the line through Leamside until the 1960s, while the line was also busy with freight. It was also a useful diversion route for express trains at times when the main line via Durham was closed for engineering work. The railway line fell into disuse in around 1992. It is currently "mothballed" - still owned by Network Rail, in case it is needed to be brought back into use in the future, but not currently maintained.

Two fine Edwardian villas - Linden House to the left, Cathedral House to the right. Needless to say, the nearby station (Leamside) on the Leamside Line has long since ceased to be.

Station Road, West Rainton
Station Road in West Rainton leads downhill to the site of Leamside railway station, which closed in 1953. The station was behind the buildings where trees have now grown and matured. In the background, the concrete bridge carries a country lane over the A1(M) trunk road.

Station Road, West Rainton
Road signs warn of a double bend in the road, and a hump-backed bridge which carries the road over a railway line. Originally the road had continued straight ahead, with a level crossing across the railway. The railway line is now disused.
