TR About 1992

We recently received a letter with some photographs from Averil Fuller of Hampshire:

The letter

Around 30 years ago I had several holidays, painting at Beamish Hall.   We visited Tanfield a number of times, inclusing admiring the viaduct from below.   I am 93 and my sight is not good now.   Whilst clearing out I came upon the enclosed, & thought they might be useful to you.
