Tyne and Wear HER(3465): Garesfield Wagonway
-
Description
"The northern terminus of the Garesfield Wagonway was probably at Garesfield Staith (HER ref. 3461), but on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan it appears to stop just short. Its southern end was at Garesfield Colliery A Pit (HER ref. 3372). The line was first opened in 1801 by the Bute, Hertford and Simpson Agents. It was redesigned in 1819 by George Stephenson and George Hill, at which time it only reached as far west as the Garesfield Number 4 pit...." -
