I wonder if the platform bench is characteristic of any of the railways in particular.

I have just posted it to Robert Humm via Twitter. They run a ‘whatstation’ every so often to get identification of their photographs from unknown locations. So far their followers have successfully identified 100% of the 134 images posted!

There’s a Disused Stations group on Facebleurgh that would probably be able to locate it if the esteemed Mr Humm’s followers can’t!

My wife posted this to the Disused Stations Facebook page, and they have called it as Pittington station in Durham - http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/p/pittington/The clincher for me that they are right is this 1969 post-closure shot from the Disused Stations website that shows the same houses in the background as grahame's photo:  |

And it*'s still there - the view from here (54°48'00.54" N 1°29'46.54" W) is a bit more distant, but a similar angle. What was the smithy is now a house, and the Blacksmiths' Arms at the other end of the terrace is ... or was, when it closed not long ago, called the Blacksmiths.
(* I meant the house, not the station, of course.)

That looks like a mighty fine chocolate pudding! (you'll have to be a member of the Disused Stations group to see what I mean...) |

Ah yes...My wife and I had a side disagreement about whether the station would turn out to be open or closed today. She said open, I said closed and now I'm saying yum!
