Gateshead Works 1948 - 1952

Gateshead Works
Gateshead Works was built for the Stockton & Darlington Railway between 1862 and 1863, but within a few months
had been taken over by the North Eastern Railway, which made it the headquarters of its Locomotive Department.
At first Gateshead operated as the NER's main works, producing twice as many locomotives as the nearby
Darlington Works. In 1908, however, Darlington produced its first large passenger engines and two years later
new building ceased at Gateshead, where new development was restricted by railway tracks and the River Tyne.
Gateshead Works, which from 1910 onwards concentrated on heavy maintenance, was closed in 1959.
