I've probably said this before, but I've walked over that viaduct around 1970. The trains had stopped by then! We walked from Kemptown goods yard, through the tunnel, across the viaduct, and turned back when we actually saw trains!!

Was there a small station in the Hartington Road area, now a tiny park?

My Dad grew up in Canning Street. Near the tunnel entrances, they explored them too.

I don't think so. I believe Kemptown goods yard was mainly used for coal in my day.

Sorry Jack, not my side of town, and closed in 1911 so just before your day :wink:, but there was a Hartington Halt

And an NSC thread on that very station

Princes News Theatre.... when I was a small kid , 1950s , my dad would take me to see a programme of cartoons and ten every hour or so it was 10 or 15 minutes of Pathe News. Since we did not have a tv back then ,to actually see the news was something..
