A Pictorial History of Stockton-on-Tees
You are looking towards Bridge Road. John Smith’s timber yard was right next to the crossing, the goods yard and ticket office are out of shot on the right. The loco is heading for the quayside which would be behind the camera on the left.
Does anyone know which side of the crossing the picture with the tankie was taken? The houses in the background lend themselves to the properties adjacent to the crossing, which would make this shot heading into what was South Stockton Goods, rather than along the quay
