NZ4518 : Thornaby railway station, Yorkshire

taken 15 years ago, near to Stockton-on-Tees, England

Thornaby railway station, Yorkshire
Thornaby railway station, Yorkshire
Opened in 1858 as "South Stockton" by the Stockton & Darlington Railway on the lines from Darlington and Northallerton to Middlesbrough, this station had a major rebuild in 1882 by the North Eastern Railway which included the large island platform seen here. It was renamed "Thornaby" in 1892.
View east towards Middlesbrough. Some of the brickwork from the 1882 station can be seen, but all the platform buildings were demolished in the early 1980s. The site was big enough to put a car park in between the platforms.
