Line of the old railway at Tanfield Lea
This path on the left here, on the east side of the B6173, is on the line of an old colliery railway. It ran between the collieries of White-le-Head and Tanfield Lea and closed in the 1940's. There were no railway engines used - the coal trucks were pulled by a continuous wire rope, operated by gravity, I believe.

Route of a former railway at Tanfield Lea
This farm track on the west side of Tanfield Lea village is on the route of a former railway line. It was the LNER's Tanfield Branch and operated for coal traffic from the Tanfield Moor Colliery at White-le-Head down to Tanfield and East Tanfield Collieries and on to Gateshead and the River Tyne. This top section was closed in 1947 after the closure of Tanfield Moor Colliery. The line was lifted long ago, but the route remains.
