The vanished Newcastle railway station that operated for more than 80 years

We've recently been featuring some of the 'lost' railway stations of Tyneside - the likes of Low Fell on the outskirts of Gateshead, and Scotswood in Newcastle's West End.

There's certainly something evocative about these vanished locations - recalling an age when the railway was king and these stops on the line would be used on a daily basis by countless thousands travelling to and from work and going about their daily business.

Our photograph recalls another lost station - Lemington in the West of Newcastle. It comes courtesy of the Armstrong Railway Photographic Trust which, as its name suggests, curates and archives old photographs of North East railways and rail infrastructure - as well as buses, collieries, shipping, and other miscellaneous subjects.
