Well, now that this article has survived its AfD, how do we improve it? I know several of us thought there must be more sources. I've got one such, the book The Lost Railways of Northumberland by Byrom ... very nice but not much help with this specific topic. Coming soon I have, wait for it wait for it, Lost Railways of Northumberland (great title huh?) by Kinghorn, and maybe that will have more, as perhaps might another title I have ordered and (I hope) en route. After that, dunno ... I like this topic but I don't think I can find or buy every work ever published about it! I have a vague hope that we can find out more about the colliery and its significance to the railway here. On the old OS map it's clear that the sidings for the Broomhill colliery and associated works were pretty huge; I was also struck, on a recent visit to Amble, that one of the two major coal staithes served by the line was the Broomhill Staith, which seems to afford it some significance, perhaps?
I also wondered if a photo of how it looks now might add anything of interest. I might try for one when I am around there sometime, but I'm not convinced that there is anything much to see – clearly the track alignment is visible, with a road over the former line to the SW and a grassy area and playground to the NE where the station was. Might be worth a try but I won't hold my breath if you don't ...
Anyway, I will keep chugging away looking for stuff and hope others will too. Best wishes to all, DBaK (talk) 12:37, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I've just had a thought that user:Robertforsythe may know of and/or have access to more sources about this topic. Unfortunately they don't seem to be particularly active these days. Thryduulf (talk) 21:29, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
