Place
Boldon
Description
The Sunderland and South Shields Racecouse, also known as Boldon Racecourse, first opened in 1897, run by Richard Thornton and Sydney Stone. The racecourse held three annual meets as well as other fixtures. The track was a one mile circuit with a half mile straight. The site was also used for athletic events and ice-skating in winter. It might also be considered to be the first home of the Sunderland Airshow. In 1910 it was the focus of a series of aviation events. The event, on August 1st included a display from Madame Mathilde Franck, the first lady aviator to appear in England. However, her plane hit a flagstaff and crashed, killing a boy on the ground. Madame Franck survived but the crash ended her flying career. The racecourse did not reopen following WWI, the founder Thornton put his energy into developing his variety theatres (including the Empire). Exact location unclear.

Description
Signal box was first opened in 1875 to control the crossover and siding on the Tyne Dock branch of the GNER railway which separated from the Sunderland to Newcastle main line a few metres south at Cleadon junction. In addition, the signalman monitored the level crossing, opening and closing the wheel-worked gates to let people and carriages along Tileshed Lane. When first opened the box was a standard NER design featuring 15 levers but extensive alterations took place in 1912 to accommodate a 55 lever frame. It was modified again in 1922. It closed in 1988 and later demolished. Accompanying railway cottages remain.
