Bowes Railway Museum
Bowes Railway Museum is located on the outskirts of Springwell Village, just south of Gateshead and is a unique industrial site. No longer operational, but is listed as a World Heritage Site and also comes under Historic England. It is the only remaining Industrial Railway anywhere in the world where operations were carried out using a combination of rope haulage and gravity running for coal trains between 1826 and 1974.
We would like to invite members of your photographic society to visit and capture images which cannot be obtained elsewhere! The site is largely as it was when it was ceased operation in 1974; a real time capsule.
Entry is free (however optional donations would be appreciated). Visitors can have almost unhindered access when on the site and the old workshops, but on the main open air area, groups will have to be accompanied by a tour guide, so adhering to Bowes Railway safety policies. Our Tour Guides will accompany you across the rail will be able to explain the operational details that were used and what it entailed.
After your visit you may care to use the facilities of our tea room.
We are open to the public from the 1st weekend in March and through to the end of October 2018.
Because of the terrain good footwear is recommended.
For more information visit our website http://bowesrailway.uk/ and if you would like to visit, either telephone Amanda Cuskin on: 07850 916484 or E mail to:amandacuskin@communityopportunities.co.uk for opening days and times.
We will look forward to hearing from you
