I hated these smelly, noisy, uncomfortable, drafty things – it made the bus worthwhile and a car inevitable. I notice that this is before Redcar Central Station became a business park and the railway became single track.

A long while later and the platform has gone, the car park has arrived and a special makes its way from Redcar towards Black Bridge (must be a preserved loco on a charter run).
How many of you remember the excursion platform at Redcar? Well, there’s a car park there now, but in its heyday it was heaving (Redcar had a beach then, there was no deep water channel in the Tees, no Blast Furnace on the skyline and Redcar had two picture houses and a theatre).
An unknown newspaper cutting. Do Sunday Schools still have a Festival of Queens. I can’t ask any more questions, because all the obvious ones are answered in the paper’s caption.
So you think that sand yachts are modern! This beautifully quaint contraption took V.I.Ps, Military servicemen and Lighthouse crew out to the Lighthouse and Gun installations at the end of South Gare.
Don’t remember the stray looking like this a lot different to the stray today.
This is another ex-Great Central Railway Robinson A5 number 69832 with a Darlington – Saltburn train between Redcar East and Marske.
A classic image of a Saltburn – Darlington train headed by a BR Standard class 4 2-6-0 locomotive number 77013 passes the home signal approaching Redcar East Halt. |
