The North Tyneside Loop was an suburban line, employing third rail electrification from 1904. This LNER carriage appears to be non-corridor, suburban stock, with what look like hefty bogie structures, but in fact are probably the third rail pick ups. So this could be a power car possibly with a driver's compartment on the right. Maurice may know .. |

Sorry it has taken so long for me to pick this up. The vehicle appears to be a brake third. I can not see any third rail collection shoes on the bogies or any drivers cab window next to the end (right hand). I suspect it is a steam hauled coach rather than part of an electric set. I am not too familiar with the operation of the Tyneside electric services at this time, but most electric trains are formed into sets with electrical connections that make splitting them a depot job rather than one for a siding like this. |

Thank you both Maurice and MB for enlightening me regarding this carriage and the Tyneside Electrified system which I never saw in action. |

| St Paul's Church of England School. The Christmas edition of the Whitley Seaside Chronicle included reminiscences of Whitley, including a note that the village school room was built near St Paul's Church, at the cost of Mrs Abbott of Beaufront Castle, in 1871. |
