In 1984 Les Turnbull of the Education Dept of Gateshead MBC produced a couple of interesting & historically accurate 36 page A5 booklets, one about railways of Gateshead & the other focussing on the Tanfield Railway. Each had a short production run, so there are now very few available. We received a copy of The Railways of Gateshead among several donated books (which are available for sale in Andrews House Station bookshop on train running days).
For more on the Tanfield Branch & the Brandling Junction Railway, see the April 2020 blog posts Early Passenger Trains & Bits of Brandling Junction by Bike.
