Description
The North Eastern Railway, Newcastle, Tynemouth and Newcastle branch, opened in 1887. At its southern end it used part of the old Blyth and Tyne Railway (HER ref. 1049). This was part of the reorganisation of the railway, when taken over by the North Eastern Railway, and was completed in 1882. Initially it formed a loop with the parallel line (HER ref. 1049) until the older line was abandoned, except for a short stretch giving access to the old Blyth & Tyne Railway Station (HER ref. 2050) which was used as a depot.

Description
A smithy, is first shown on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey plan. It therefore probably dates from after 1858.
SITEASS
The smithy or forge was the workplace of a blacksmith or ironsmith, where iron was worked into useful objects such as weapons, armour in the Middle Ages and locks, hinges, spades and tools, iron horseshoes (machine-made horseshoes were introduced from USA in 1870s), grilles, gates, railings, metal parts for locomotives, coaches, waggons and carts. The blacksmith's raw material was wrought iron in bar form. The smithy comprised a hearth, bellows, anvil and bosh (quenching trough). A small forge had hand-operated bellows, a large industrial forge water-powered bellows, power hammer and shears (William Jones, 1996, Dictionary of Industrial Archaeology).
