Old North East haulage companies (Part 1)

This the winding house for the Bowes rope haulage railway line at Blackhams Hill, between Springwell and Eighton Banks near Gateshead. Not sure of the exact year but The original steam engine was being replaced by an electric one.
The winding house is still there and along with the Springwell Pit yard about half a mile down the line is a Working museum.
