(02 Apr 2016, 9:55 pm)Andreos1 Dunno who owns it.

Racking my brains to try and think about the road network down there years ago, prior to that section of the Western Bypass being built.
Struggling.
I am guessing that road extended to the western side of Chowdene Bridge at some point though.

There is a stop on the road now, more or less parallel to this old shelter.

Appreciate we are going off topic, but was there a pit down there?
I can remember the NCB building on the site where Sainsburys is, but wasn't aware of anything else that far down.

Hi remember this area well from when I was little. There was indeed a pit, it was called Ladypark Drift and the site is now retail world. The road with the bus shelter on it used to come out near the NCB offices (which is now Sainsbury). If I remember rightly the 29 Kibblesworth bus used to use it.

There used to be a railway line which ran behind the NCB offices to the drift mine. It crossed the main road through the Team Valley on a single track concrete viaduct. It crossed Chowdene Bank near where the small gas works is now and then over the East Main Line before heading up to Wrekenton. Most of the railway is now a public footpath.

I used to go for walks with my dad on a Sunday around Ravensworth Castle and remember us taking a shortcut over the Western Bypass whilst it was being built.
