Washington 1st railway station (site), Tyne & Wear
Opened in 1835 by the Stanhope & Tyne Railway, eventually part of the North Eastern Railway, on the line from Durham Turnpike (Chester-le-Street) to South Shields. This station became a junction in 1840 but was largely replaced by the more conveniently sited 2nd Washington station (see Image) in 1850, when the main line was diverted towards Newcastle. It lingered on until 1853 with a market-day train, and then closed.
View north east towards the 2nd Washington station, South Shields and Newcastle. The track through here was lifted in 2012 and nature was re-establishing itself. No trace of the station appears to exist.
