Summary
[edit]DescriptionWark - geograph-3823151-by-Mike-Quinn.jpg |
English: The former Wark station The former Border Counties Railway ran between Hexham and Riccarton Junction. Wark station opened in 1860. It was closed to passenger traffic in 1956, and closed completely in 1958. The station was situated about a mile east of the village, and on the "wrong" side of the narrow bridge across the River North Tyne - see NY8677 : Wark Road Bridge and NY8677 : Wark Bridge (closed for repairs) (both photographed by Les Hull). The bridge has only recently re-opened after about a year's refurbishment. The station was, however, roughly equidistant from Wark, Birtley and Chipchase Castle. The Disused Stations website says that the station had one passenger platform (on the right in the photo). There was also a 300 yard goods loop and dock (left); and a goods siding and dock that ended at the ramp to the passenger platform (right). I am very grateful to the current owner for permission to photograph the old station. |
