A typically busy day at Haltwhistle station looking east in early 20th century. The goods yard is seen on the left. The Newcastle platform is beyond the footbridge with the Carlisle platform opposite the goods shed and the Alston branch platform to the right. The Alston branch is seen far right with the viaduct over the River South Tyne (The 'Alston Arches'). There was an engine shed at Haltwhistle, opened in 1875, but its location and when it closed is not known. It is likely to have been on the turntable spur seen in the foreground.
