Site of Ryhope railway station
This image was taken on the site of Ryhope railway station. The footbridge is all that remains of the station.
Ryhope station closed to passengers in 1953, although the railway line remained in use for freight until the 1990s. The railway route now forms part of National Cycle Network route 1.

Ryhope railway station (site), County Durham
Opened in 1894 by the North Eastern Railway on the line from Sunderland to Durham, this station replaced an earlier one c.250m further around the curve, just out of view. This station closed to passengers in 1952 and completely in 1964.
View north east towards Hendon Burn and Sunderland, the former line now being a footpath and only the old footbridge surviving. For more information, see http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/r/ryhope_second/index.shtml.
This was the more westerly of the two stations in Ryhope - Ryhope East railway station was only 150m away, on the Londonderry Seaham and Sunderland Railway. See Image

Ryhope (East) railway station (site), County Durham
Opened in 1855 by the Londonderry Seaham & Sunderland Railway, later part of the North Eastern Railway, this station closed in 1964.
View north east towards what would have been the forecourt. The railway is behind the fencing. The later construction of the A1018 in the foreground has partly led to the destruction of the station remains.
Ryhope also had another station just 150m away - see Image
