Washington 2nd railway station (site), Tyne & Wear
Opened in 1850 by the York, Newcastle & Berwick Railway, soon to be part of the North Eastern Railway, this station replaced an earlier one some 600m behind the camera position. In turn, this one closed in 1963.
View north towards Usworth and Newcastle, also to Boldon and South Shields. The last track through here was lifted in 2012.

A nice bit of hand-made iron work, but does it have a future?

Sturdy footbridge
Built over a disused railway. With the railway no longer in use, will it survive or get cleared away?
(This footbridge crossed a number of railway lines at the south end of the former Washington Station - see http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/w/washington_second/index.shtml for the history of this line and pictures of the station before and after closure in 1963.)

Station Road railway bridge (detail)
I love the way the stonework of this modest little bridge has been angled to allow people to walk by without stepping into the road
