Marley Hill Engine Shed

Marley Hill engine shed was built in 1854, at a key time of expansion of the surrounding collieries from 1845, as part of a new railway to take coal directly to a deep water berth at Jarrow.   At the same time water transport was being modernised by new bridges at Newcastle, spouts & drops to eradicate transhipment in keel boat, the advent of sea-going steel steam colliers built on the Tyne, and the take over of control by the Tyne Improvement Commission, which dredged the river & later built the Shields piers.
