Hexham and Allendale Railway
The Hexham and Allendale Railway opened in stages, first from Hexham Junction to Langley in 1867, and then to Allendale (then known as Catton Road) in 1868. It was originally built to carry freight, especially from local lead mines. It was later opened as a passenger service, which was taken over by the North Eastern Railway in 1876. The line closed to passengers in 1930 and the line completely closed in 1950.
