HWW Middlesborough North Yorkshire 19th October 2024

HWW Middlesborough North Yorkshire 19th October 2024
Dating from 1877 Middlesbrough's North Eastern Railway station was damaged by bombing in 1942 and the remains of its overall roof dismantled in 1954. However there is still some impressive Victorian ironwork around the site. This ornate wall and adjacent awning roof supports are on platform 1.

For most of the station's existence I suspect they were hidden under layers of black dirt and dust caused by air pollution and exhaust from steam engines but in recent years they have cleaned up very nicely.

HWW to everyone. Enjoy the day.

A beautiful image, Pete. Some of the old Victorian cast iron really was impressive and I agree with your thought that it was probably black with soot in the past. Looking great with the paint here though. HWW and have a good week.

Thanks Peter. The last time I was here was in 1957 as a child with my parents! I don't remember the station either or the steam engines that were everywhere back then...
Cheers
Pete
