About this picture …

These two are a bit late if they’re expecting a train. The Weatherhill Incline was part of the Stanhope and Tyne Railway in County Durham, taking lead and iron from the Wear Valley to the mouth of the Tyne at South Shields. It was closed in the 1950s, though track remained in some places as late as 1985.
