Boldon railway station (site), Tyne & Wear
Opened in 1844 by the Pontop and South Shields Railway on the line from Darlington to Gateshead via Washington. In 1849, the line was extended to Newcastle, and so Boldon was briefly on the East Coast Main Line from London to Newcastle. However, in 1850, a shorter route from Washington to Newcastle via Usworth opened. A few local services lingered on, but Boldon closed to passengers in 1853. It remained open for goods until 1967.
View south towards Washington and Darlington, from just north of the level crossing. The station was on the far side of where the roundabout now is. It had two parallel platforms, and the station building was just behind where the two trees now are. It's hard to believe now, but in 1849 this camera position would have been on the track of the East Coast Main Line!
