East Howle Junction

A view east of a snowy former East Howle Junction. This was the junction between the Clarence's Spennymoor line (1837) and the York and Newcastle's line from Thrislington (1846). It ceased to be a junction in 1856 with closure of the Thrislington link. From here the curve south to Coxhoe Junction was modified in 1873 to fly over the main line and approach Coxhoe Junction from its east side. The trackbed seen here has since become an official footpath.
