Station Road (A686) heading north out of Alston
The road is climbing to cross Whitfield Moor passing a minor road on the left giving access to the railway station which now operates as a narrow gauge tourist attraction. The low walls at the side of the road are parapets of a bridge over the River Nent.
The Fuchs crane at the side of the road looks rather shabby.
Buildings on east side of A686
The buildings are on the east side of the A686 in Alston. The right part of the stone building was for many years the Central Cafe and is well-remembered as the refreshment stop for the Wrights Brothers bus and coach service which ran (and hopefully will run again), between Newcastle and Keswick. It has been in a deteriorating state since its closure some decades ago. The white painted building is part of Henderson's Garage.
Building of the South Tynedale Railway
The building is adjacent to the line of the narrow gauge railway and has lines running into it so it's clearly used as a workshop or a storage facility for rolling stock. The South Tyne Trail which runs alongside the railway crosses from the east side to the west side of the line at the camera location.
Gentle curve along South Tynedale Railway
The narrow gauge railway en route for Alston which lies around 1.5 km. ahead.

Housed in the former Grammar School which has a date of 1828 above the small red door.
Friends Meeting House, Alston
Quakerism in Alston can be traced back as far as 1668. This meeting house dates from 1732 with alterations in 1762-4.
Alston Post Office
Situated in the centre of this tiny hill town, which at the time this photograph was taken had road works right in the middle of the main street. No traffic could get through and there were lengthy detours.
River South Tyne at the northern edge of Alston
This is the view of the river seen by walkers leaving Alston to the north on the South Tyne Trail.
The River Tyne Trail adjacent to South Tynedale Railway
The South Tynedale Railway runs for 5 miles in this magnificent valley and is run by the South Tynedale Railway Preservation Society. The valley also has other famous walking trails, The Pennine Way, A Pennine Journey and Isaac's Tea Trail.
Front Street, Alston
The main street of Alston, which runs down steeply through the small town towards the South Tyne River.
Climbing up Front Street in Alston
The main street of this small market town rises steeply away from the South Tyne - seen here passing a row of dwellings and the local post office.
Small Waterfall on the River Nent
The River Nent is a major tributary of the South Tyne, seen here at Gossipgate near Alston
