Chathill for Seahouses Perhaps surprisingly, the station at Chathill - itself no more than an isolated hamlet - has survived although the train service is meagre. It was at one time the junction for a branch to Seahouses but that closed in 1951. The station buildings are now a private residence but the occupant has placed this display of signs outside on the platform. The two 'totem' signs are of a design used by British Railways between 1948 and 1965 but the shape is so often adopted today by all sorts of businesses to signify a railway connection that they must be familiar to many people who do not remember the originals. The orange colour was used in British Railways' North Eastern Region.

Chathill Perhaps because it has an operational railway station, Chathill punches above its weight. The name is used in addresses for the surrounding area. In fact, however, Chathill is no more than a hamlet, most of which is visible in this view.
