English: Wylam Waggonway, site of Heddon on the Wall Station
This was the site of Heddon on the Wall Railway Station but there is little to see today. The loop from North Wylam to Scotswood was built by the Scotswood, Newburn & Wylam Railway & Dock Company mainly on the line of the former Wylam Waggonway but it was worked from the outset by the North Eastern Railway. The loop was joined to the Newcastle to Carlisle Railway at Scotswood in the east, and in the west after crossing the River Tyne on the still extant Hagg Bank Bridge. The Station opened in July 1881, five years after the line. Although close to Heddon Colliery, it was not particularly convenient for the village as it was about 1 mile distant down a very steep lane.

The bank on the right (east of the road crossing) was the site of the up platform to Newcastle. Here there were two adjoining wooden buildings, one a waiting room and the other the booking office and second waiting room. The down platform (to North Wylam) was beyond the crossing on the left and had a small single waiting shed. The Station closed in 1958 and was completely demolished.

There is a small section of brick wall on the right that might be part of the original station. A line of trees (the first of which can be seen on the extreme right just beyond the brick wall), between the main line and a colliery line that passed north of the platform (now a track), are perhaps those planted by the Station Master, William Harle, sometime between 1898 – 1906, one for each of his 13 children NZ1465 : Track east of Heddon Haughs Farm.

The former Station Master's House where he lived, on the left just beyond the crossing, is now in private occupation.
