Queen's Campus Stockton
Built on the site of Head Wrightson's works this annexe to the University of Durham is part of the Teesdale Business Park in Thornaby. The site now employs more people than Head Wrightson did twenty years before its closure in 1985.

Up empties at Thornaby Station
View eastwards, towards Middlesbrough, Saltburn etc.; ex-North Eastern Tees-side main line. The train is typical of the constant flow of freight traffic to and from the Newport Yards and the heavy industry of the Middlesbrough area, which dominated the passenger services. The traffic was so intensive that the men who worked these engines in the District were paid a mileage bonus and therefore thrashed them. The ex-NE Q6 (No. 63388) with a long train of empty mineral wagons is probably working from Newport Yard to a colliery in Co. Durham, which will return with coal for the steelworks in the Middlesbrough District; it was blasting up through Thornaby station on full throttle - and a splendid noise.

Thornaby Station, with Down freight and a Diesel light-engine
View westward, towards Stockton etc., Eaglescliffe, Northallerton and Darlington. It was an immensely busy station on the western outlet of the great Newport Marshalling Yard and the industries of Middlesbrough. The Class J freight is headed by ex-NE J27 0-6-0 No. 65868; the Diesel - seeming then an 'interloper' - is BR/Sulzer Type 2 No. D5149.
