| Coxlodge Waggonway viaduct over the Ouse at Gosforth (by TH Hair) |
His latest book Doon the Waggonway will be the subject of a free talk by Tyneside historian Les Turnbull at the Mining Institute on Thursday 23 April.
This early 19th century waggonway traversed the whole of Newcastle from Coxlodge across Gosforth, past the RVI,, through Heaton to the Tyne at Wallsend. It is also linked to people behind much of the mining & railway development on Tyneside - Blenkinsop, Brandling, Brunton, Buddle, Stephenson, etc.
