Intermodal train at site of former Coxhoe Junction Coxhoe junction formerly had several lines including a flyover across the lines in the image. These former lines included early railways such as the Clarence Railway's branches to Coxhoe & collieries in the Spennymoor area, and the splendidly named Great North of England, Clarence & Hartlepool Junction Railway (GNEC&HJR) which linked the Clarence Railway to Hartlepool Docks. In addition local collieries, quarries, and ironworks at Cornforth, Mainsforth, and Ferryhill were also connected here or close by. The two remaining tracks on the left are the East Coast Main line, while the two nearest tracks serve as a passing loop, with onward running to Stockton via Stillington in the southerly direction, and formerly running to Gateshead via Leamside in the northerly direction.

The Old Mill, near Tursdale This building dates from 1813 when it opened as a paper mill; it was later also used as a corn mill. That business ceased in 1890 after which it had a variety of uses including as a pub. It is now an up-market inn with 12 en-suite rooms. In this view taken on a dismal December day the external lights are still on even though it is about 9-30am.
