DescriptionStockton (S&DR) Bridge Road railway station (site), County Durham (geograph 4300027).jpg
English: Stockton (S&DR) Bridge Road railway station (site), County Durham Converted in 1826 into a weigh house for the Stockton and Darlington Railway, this building may have also sold passenger tickets. Steam-hauled passenger trains ran between here and Darlington from 1833 to 1848. It continued as a goods station long after S&DR passengers had transferred to South Stockton railway station (see NZ4518 : South Stockton railway station (site), Yorkshire), which was only a few minutes walk away across the river Tees, and therefore located in Yorkshire.
This site is also historic in that the first tracks of the Stockton and Darlington Railway were laid here in 1822.
View north east over a former level crossing. As built we would be looking towards the coal staithes on the River Tees.
