Photograph, The Gate House

Historical information

Grandma Wearmouth used to open and shut the train line gates across the road each time a train came through, day or night.
This was her job, so the family moved their house closer to the gates so she could manage better.
For years it was known as the Gate House because it was so close to the railway line.
