New housing development on old station site
New properties under construction at West Tanfield. The late Ben Brooksbank photographed the station building back in 1995 and that doesn't appear to have changed much, but beyond, on what originally seems to have been a small siding and possible goods shed [according to old maps], there is now new housing development.
