Walling of former railway coal depot, Stockton and Darlington Railway

Railway-served former coal depot, 1824-1825 for the Stockton & Darlington Railway, partly reconfigured late C19 and altered after the closure of the railway line in the late 1970s.

DESCRIPTION Survives as an outer wall defining the extent of the original coal depot, the walls retaining higher ground outside the yard. Most of the walling is brick, the southern wall being stone-built. The regular buttresses are considered to be the cut-back dividing walls which separated the individual bays of the coal and lime drops. At the northern end of the yard there is a complete stone and brick-built dividing wall, retaining monolithic stone blocks that would have supported the timber way-beams supporting the railway track over the drops.
