' Garesfield and Chopwell Wagonway (later railway) carried coal from Garesfield and Chopwell pits to staithes on the River Tyne, later this industrial branch line joined to the Blaydon-Dunston railway line. These two pits were in production in 1894 and continued until 1959 (Chopwell) and 1960 (Garesfield). Chopwell is to the North West (eg right in this image). The railway was mostly single track. Some way to the North West of this location the track bed has become a footpath, but in this area is is largely lost although some segments are still clear on the ground. '
