On the left of this picture (Now a Car Park) is where the sidings were situated. Here the Coalmen would fill there sacks with coal from the coal wagons.
The short tunnel under Wallgate leads to Wallgate Station on the other side.

So little left of what once had been there.

The way we were.

This was taken in July 1999 Garry. This photo and 31177 seem to have been taken from the same spot on the old Iron Bridge.

Yes DTease, how times have changed since 1960, and I'm not sure for the better with our roads clogged up.
But that's another story.

Many a youngster stood on the mentioned bridge as the locomotive passed underneath him/her.
