<b>Disused railway north of Scotswood Bridge</b><br>Taken from Whitfield Road, now cleared of houses for redevelopment, looking down on the cobbled lane shown on a 1950 plan as 'Scotswood Station Approach'. The bridge in the foreground takes the lane under the disused line of the Scotswood, Newburn &amp; Wylam Railway just east of the tunnel <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Disused_railway_tunnel,_Scotswood_(geograph_2840055).jpg" title="File:Disused railway tunnel, Scotswood (geograph 2840055).jpg">NZ1963 : Disused railway tunnel, Scotswood</a>.

Just beyond this bridge, the lane also passes under the disused line of the Newcastle &amp; Carlisle Railway, on its former route to the Scotswood Railway Bridge. This line is now a cycleway. Both platforms of Scotswood Railway Station were once accessed by steps on its west side.
