There was a railway station at Scotswood in Newcastle's West End for nearly 130 years.
Opening in 1839 as a stop on the new Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, one of its earliest newspaper mentions came two years later in a quite bizarre short story in the Newcastle Journal.
The story simply read: "A cauliflower was lately taken out of the garden at Scotswood Railway Station, measuring in circumference 13 feet two inches and weighing 211 Ib 10 ounces."
