Village History CD
In the spring of 2000 a series of WEA (Workers'
Education Association) meetings were held, culminating in an Exhibition of
Village History. Most of the documents and photographs have been scanned to
a CD. It includes many pictures of school groups. Villagers can borrow the
CD from
Maureen Brook. |

Bardon Mill Station
|
|
|
|
|
|
THE STATION was
probably the last one built on the Newcastle and Carlisle line before
its official opening on June 18th 1838. The architect was probably
Benjamin Green.
It was a very busy
place, together with its goods sidings. The Company built houses for its
workers in Station Road. The signal box was manned all day, in three
shifts. Two men looked after the track from Bardon Mill to Whitchester.
The station master was in charge of station porters, goods porters and
shunters. The level crossing had a keeper who lived in a cottage next to
it.
The tall building is
the station masters house. The original post office was in the station
buildings. The wooden waiting room is on the right of it. The baskets
beside the track contained rabbits and other game destined for market in
Newcastle. So too the milk churns.
