Stanhope
Leaving Stanhope heading west there is a local back road that heads to Broomlee and Dandry Shield, which crosses the railway at Crag Nook. Beyond the road bridge a further steel bridge crosses the River Wear, which twists and turns as it meanders east from its tributary. This view looks back east from the road bridge towards Stanhope, showing how sections of the track have become overgrown whilst mothballed. I am not aware if the river bridges are deemed fit enough to be crossed by rolling stock, as they are fenced off to prevent unauthorised access. See image 74434 for the view in the opposite direction
