Ryhope Pumping Engine
RobWilson:
Afternoon Lads ,
Wile cycling through the East Durham countryside yesterday I realized me and the lad I was cycling with were heading for Ryhope ,being a bank holiday weekend the pumping engine is usually steamed up ,so we headed over for a look see , I have seen the engine running many a time , but it was the first for the lad I was with . Anyway I was glad for the stop/rest as my arse was killing me and I needed a cup of tea .

Great pictures Rob, shame I didnt know the place was open, I could have visited..
Still theres always next time I'm here in Gateshead...in fact there are a number of places Id like to see....Shildon for one, the Stephenson Museum for another...
RobWilson:
Hi John
Yeah its worth a look mate , Shildon ,,,,mumble mumble they took the sole out of that place when it became part of the York railway museum :bang:,It was great when it was the Hackworth museum .
And the Stephenson , even though its a few miles away only been twice ,its OK , Tanfield is much better :thumbup:
