Mike Shingleton – Mike if memory serves slightly earlier than that. I left Stockton in 1974 & it was already down by then. Only just mind you! When we bought our first house, on Coxwold Rd, you could still walk the old track bed to the pits behind Head Wrightson”s, on Yarm Rd, without having to descend to cross Darlington Rd.
The bridge was demolished in 1970 according to this entry. http://picture.stockton.gov.uk/photos/t6260-6262.aspx

Surely this wasn’t before 1960 as the milk cup cycle riders went under it in 1966?
This bridge was demolished some time in the mid-1970″s if I recall correctly.
