Still in residential use, the stationmaster's house, complete with garden and greenhouse is seen here at Boldon Colliery c1971, but it was to be demolished in 1972. For a short time the Old Main Line used to pass in front of the house, with the Newcastle to Sunderland line behind. The OML remained as a siding here until the 1960, but by the time of this photograph all signs of the lines have gone.
