Another "Where?" quiz

Post by Malcolm »

Has been a bit quiet on the boards just lately so how about another "Where is this?" (Oh God, not again) question. No hints.

The serpent-legged benches & distant luggage barrow and lattice-post signals indicate to me that it is an NER station, Northern division. The porter & kids dress seem to date it at about 100 years ago. The substantial station buildings and sheds/warehouses visible through the bridge suggest that it is a fairly large place maybe on, or near, Tyneside or possibly County Durham.

It is out the scope of my detailed knowledge; maybe the above might help someone else.

Yes, I thought I recognised it, I remember the number taker, Noel, who used to cover the ROF from Tyne Yard.

So 52A, you are an ex-Tyne Yard worker. Thought you must be.
I worked a lot with Noel, so therefore I must know you too.
PM me. I haven't talked to anyone from Tyne Yard for years.
Last one I spoke to was Terry Hutton about 5 years ago.
