<b>Superstore on site of Annfield Plain station.</b><br>
View SW, probably on the B6168 road. The station had been where the superstore is, or just behind it. It had been on the line to Consett from Newcastle via Birtley and Ouston Junction and closed to passengers on 23/5/55 (goods 10/8/64). The line through Annfield Plain had remained active for the iron ore traffic from Tyne Dock via South Pelaw Junction, until Consett Ironworks closed in 9/80.
