"Site of former Lamesley station, 2002." View westward on Smithy Lane, to the bridge carrying the ex-NER East Coast Main Line: Durham, Darliington etc. to left, Gateshead and Newcastle to right. The station had been just to the left, but was closed to passengers 4/6/45 (to goods, 14/9/59). In 1963 the large new Tyne Marshalling Yard was built, southwards from this bridge on the west (Down) side, swallowing up the site of Lamesley station. Since 2002, a large overbridge has been built here over both the railway and the new A1(M) Gateshead by-pass road.
