Blyth & Tyne Bridge Crossing

Continuing our look at the Museum site before the museum was built. The following four images show the cutting where the Blyth & Tyne dipped under the Backworth Waggonway. Which crossed over by means of a bridge. The approach to the museum from Percy Main and the Backworth line near Middle Engine Lane.

Approaching the museum site from Percy Main.

The last loco to use the Backworth Bridge. This is now the site of our museum.
