Bridge on the former Seaton Burn Waggonway

  • Description

    "The Seaton Burn waggonway was one of many http://www.tynelives.org.uk/stephenson/wagmap2.htm linking former coalmines in North Tyneside with the coal staithes on the Tyne. This view is taken near the northern end of the waggonway, looking south, where it crosses the Seaton Burn itself. Along with many other lengths of waggonway, this section has been converted into a cycle path in recent years and forms part of National Cycle Network, Regional Route 10 (the Reivers Cycle Route) http://www.cycle-n-sleep.co.uk/rinfo/map%20reivers.htm which links Tynemouth with Whitehaven via Kielder Forest and Carlisle. The uprights at the end of the railings have been fabricated from old gas bottles." Photo by Oliver Dixon, 2012.
