Gateshead Works
From Graces Guide
In 1844 Brandling Junction Railway Company, a predecessor company of the North Eastern Railway (NER), gained powers to erect a station at Greenesfield, Gateshead.
1852 The company built large locomotive sheds and works on the same site, immediately adjacent to the south end of the High Level Bridge.
A well-illustrated article about the works was published in 'The Engineer' in 1896[1]
The Gateshead Railway Works closed in 1933. However, a number of the works buildings have survived, some tastefully restored for commercial and residential use, while several others are presently (2017) derelict.
