Dad took the first 3 photos at Sproughton sidings. All I know that they were taken close to a factory he used to visit on business so I assume that there must have been some building work going on - I think it may have been part of an industrial estate. David

The ECML in Northumberland again for today. As most of you know Ulgham Lane crossing is north of Morpeth, Widdrington is a few miles further north.

The train is passing the site of the station.
