Sunderland (Town Moor) railway station (site), Tyne & Wear
Opened in 1836 by the Durham and Sunderland Railway, later part of the North Eastern Railway, this single-storey station closed in 1858 and was later demolished.
Site view south. We would have been looking end-on at the station, in the middle distance. The whole area was at one time covered in railway lines curving around towards the dock (to the far left). No trace now remains apart from a plaque on a nearby wall.
