Consett MPD and Low Yard, County Durham.. c 1960.
This enlargement was bought in the 1980's. Photographer unknown. If anyone has copyright with the image please let me know?
This image taken looking East shows the then busy yard that served Consett steel works in the background.
The only identifiable loco is the clean Q6 63455 .
Following closure of the works in September 1980 and final track lifting at the location exactly four years later, the whole site was infilled and landscaped.
Totally unrecognisable today.
Nothing remains today that a railway ever existed in this view.
