This video takes a look at Durham's railway past. Starting with a brief look at Durham Elvet station before moving onto Shincliffe Town station and the line to Houghall and the old pit village there.

All my relation were Miners - something I'm seriously proud about. It's a brave man who goes down a very deep hole in the ground to do heavy manual work in the dark with no amenities or emergency health care....and with his own food and drink.

The whole city is a student campus now.

I expected to see Gilesgate Station and even the current one. From Relley Mill Junction, lines went to Bishop Auckland, Esh Winning and Lanchester, all walking routes today.

I've covered some of Durham's other railways in separate videos. And, plan to do more on them in the future.

My Uncle(maternal side) lived in Langley Park. Can just remember Esh Winning station. Great days. Still visit Cousin’s there.
