Description: | The railway in Felling is closely connected with some of the oldest rail systems in the country. The first line, constructed in 1836, was known as the Brandling Junction Railway, and had a station on the site of Felling Hall. Felling Hall had been built by the Brandling family but was vacated by them in 1760. The line was amalgamated with the Newcastle and Darlington Railway in 1845. This in turn became the York and Newcastle Railway in 1846. The line from Pelaw to Tyne Dock was opened in 1872 and was followed by the building of a new railway station on its present site in 1896. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.asaplive.com/Lco/Lco.cfm?ccs=629&cs=2674&Preview=1 | Publisher: | Gateshead Council | Rights holder: | Gateshead Council | Subjects: | Railway Stations | Temporal: | name=Victorian; start=1837; end=1901; | Source: | iSee Gateshead | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://isee.gateshead.gov.uk/detail.php?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
