Sandsend

We did not know the date of this photograph, but realised it was the building of the railway and station. Geoff Patton advised us: ” Looking at the block of houses on what would be the beach, now; I heard these were bombed flat during one of the wars. I’d guess the railway station was built mid 19th century.” This made us research further and have found that the station at Sandsend opend 3rd December 1883, thus this image is prior to that date, possibly 1882. We will research further.
