"Tees Yard, Thornaby: under construction 1961." View northward from the A176 Stockton Road: in the distance is the ex-NER (Stockton & Darlington) main line from Darlington (to left) to Thornaby, Middlesbrough and Saltburn (to right). Tees Yard was opened here in 1963, but lasted as such only until 1980 - such has been the decline of heavy industry in the ensuing 30+ years.
