Newcastle - New Bridge Street Goods - WW2 Bombing

Post by billdonald »

There's an interesting thread going on:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Tyneside_ ... d/messages

regarding the LNER freight depot at Newcastle, New Bridge Street. The newsgroup mentioned is concerned with local history on Tyneside and I've ran with a number of threads that may be of interest to subscribers here. Try a message subject search for:

Bombing of the New Bridge Street LNER Goods Station
Collywell Bay
Monkseaton
The Riverside Line
Tyne Invasion Plan

I've also posted some pics of the signalling at Monkseaton Station in the photographs section.

Report of bombing. This web site has details of many other railway related incidents during the second world war, but you have to do some digging.
