There are five pages in this album with
a minimum of ten photographs on each page
(all photography on these pages by
Bill Hartmann ©)

Here are a
selection of 'before and after' (the fire) photographs of the
old Station Masters House. There are more on other album
pages.
Although all my
digital photography is carried out on 'high end'
Canon & Leica cameras, (stereo with two Nikon cameras)
all images on my web sites are reduced considerably in
resolution as well as size. High quality copies are available
from 6x4 up to 4ft wide. Prices start at £4.99 per postcard
size. See the main page for more information. No extra cost
for black & white or sepia copies. Photographs mounted in a
professional matt, ready for framing also available. |
Very little remains of the
buildings of the industrial heritage of Pelaw apart from the CWS
Shirt Factory, now due for demolition. The Station Masters House has
been demolished and apart from the factory, the Co-op building which
once housed the store, and the building on the right of the photo
above there is little evidence of any industries or industrial
architecture now. Note, above and below the
'arched' lintels above the door and windows, are very common to
Victorian railway architecture.
Soot encrusted brickwork
the result of decades of carbon pollution from the passing trains
and the household chimneys. Only the smoothness of the glazed bricks
has prevented a complete blackening of the walls, as can be seen
down Stepney Bank in Newcastle.
