Posed outside the Hadrian Paints office block.
BNL 979B in a mustard and red livery is what looks like an AEC "Mercury" waggon.
The regno was issued in Northumberland during 1964, which nicely dates this image.
[Note the wpm livery, so probably new / freshly washed - judging by the wet tyre marks]
[Note the second - trying to work oy what that load bogie bolster waggon is carrying].

That's "The Garage" ... note the petrol pump !
From 2006 to present [2025] it has been the workshop for Stanegate Restorations & Replicas. Unit K1.
For the first three years we were in the left hand side [door & two windows], then we moved to the larger right hand side [three windows and door] until 2015[?] when we combined both sides into one operational workshop, there is a dividing wall with a connecting door.

Posed shot of eight members of the in-house firefighters, on or with their electic [battery run-about], in front of the "fire station.
,
The runabout [painted red, as you would expect] is currently in the care of NELSAM {the North East Land Sea and Air Museum, based in Sunderland}
.
The "Fire Station" appears to be in front of the garage building [now home to Stanegate Restorations].

s&w - mid 1950s

The Hadrian Works site in the mid-1950s.
[appears to be a re-touched aerial image]
Points to note -
i) there appears to be a rail transhipment dock in the middle of the row of buildings next to the railway.
ii) very few cars, other vehicles or people visible.
s&w - extract from employee's handbook

Plan [map] of Smith & Walton's Hadrian Paint Works, scanned from the employee's handbook.
Undated, but I think it is some time after 1966, as it differs in a few details from the mid-1950s model [especially areas 1 & 2 - warehouse was built in October 1966, after the big fire]..

HWH/s&w - smith and walton paints

Smith & Walton's Hadrian paint works in Haltwhistle, probably in the 1950s [hence the assumed date taken]
At it's peak, there were around 500 people employed here, and they made some significant advances in paint technology.
