Garesfield and Chopwell Railway

1896 – 1961



Now "Old Colliery Railway Footpath". A short stretch of track on the footpath holds a couple of coal wagons.



Initial use was t carry bricks to build the colliery, from High Spen to Chopwell.

Subsequently used to move coal - 3000 tons per day.



The line joined the "mainline" at High Spen where there had been a colliery since around 1800. The coal was taken to the River Tyne (Derwenthaugh).



The mines at Chopwell and High Spen closed in 1960 and the line after passing from LNER to BR was closed.
