Cox Green railway station (site), Tyne & Wear
Opened in 1853 as "Coxgreen Halt" by the York Newcastle & Berwick Railway, soon to be part of the North Eastern Railway, on the line from Durham to Sunderland. It became "Coxgreen Crossing" in 1857 and "Coxgreen" in 1857, changing to "Cox Green" in 1931. It closed in 1964.
View north east towards Hylton and Sunderland from the site of the level crossing. There were two parallel platforms. The main building on the right has been extended as part of a private house.

Cycle route crossing of the road down to Cox Green
The cycle route follows the line of the old railway from Sunderland to Penshaw. The wooden posts set at an angle are designed to stop motor bikes, but are also an obstacle to pedal cycles with long handlebars. The low rail adjoining is a horse stile which horses can step over but which also should prove a deterrent to motor bikes.
