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 York and Newcastle Railway 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.
