The probable line of a Wagonway, linking Cramlington Colliery Railway (HER ref. 1056) to the North Eastern Railway, Newcastle and Tynemouth, Riverside Branch (HER ref. 2146). This is not shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan and was out of use on the 2nd edition, so dates between 1858 and 1895.
