Waldridge Incline Again

Waldridge Incline from a 1939 OS map courtesy & copyright of the National Library of Scotland 

Comments on the Can you help? post of 4 February include those from Chris Allen & Peter Weightman, who identify the 2nd photo as taken looking west-east down the Waldridge Incline, which was at Newfield on the Pontop & South Shields branch (originally the Stanhope & Tyne Railroad).   Comparing the photo with the map segment above, the J25 loco is at the top of the 3 rail section next to the houses on Front Street, west of the urinal.   (I passed these houses on Wednesday, but the urinal has gone.)
