Photographs of Grade I listed Central Station in Newcastle. Designed and built by John Dobson & Robert Stephenson and opened in 1850.
Very early photograph of the station, maybe the earliest one known? This was taken early on a summers morning as there are no people about. The slow shutter speeds of cameras of this period meant that any one walking around while the photo was being taken would have come out as a blur on the image, hence the photographer turning up early in the morning when no one was about! Note how the curved train shed roofs can be seen from the road, this is not possible today as the area to the left is all built on. the building to the left of the station does not exist today. the Royal Station Hotel stands on the spot and is a much larger building than the one pictured.

Tyne & Wear Archives presents a series of images taken by the Newcastle-based photographers Turners Ltd. The firm had an excellent reputation and was regularly commissioned by local businesses to take photographs of their products and their premises. Turners also sometimes took aerial and street views on their own account and many of those images have survived, giving us a fascinating glimpse of life in the North East of England in the second half of the Twentieth Century.

Newcastle Central Station (also known as Newcastle Central) is on the East Coast Main Line in the United Kingdom, serving the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear. It is 268 miles 56 chains (432.4 km) down-line from London King's Cross and on the main line it is situated between Chester-le-Street to the south and Manors to the north. Its three-letter station code is NCL. Opened in 1850, it is a Grade I listed building and is located in the city centre at the southern edge of Grainger Town and to the west of the Castle Keep. It is a nationally important transport hub, being both a terminus and through-station on the main line between London and Edinburgh, the Durham Coast Line to Middlesbrough, and the Tyne Valley Line to Carlisle. It is also served by the adjoining Central Station on the Tyne and Wear Metro. As of June 2015, the main line station is managed by Virgin Trains East Coast. All Virgin Trains East Coast services between London and Edinburgh stop at Newcastle. CrossCountry supplements services to Scotland, and operates trains southbound to the South West and South Coast of England via Birmingham and the wider Midlands region; trains reach as far as Penzance and Southampton. The station is also a terminus for TransPennine Express, which connects Newcastle to Liverpool Lime Street, via Leeds and Manchester Piccadilly, with some services also running to Manchester Airport. Northern variously combines three routes out of Newcastle in order to provide both terminating and through services. To the west, trains connect the city to the MetroCentre shopping centre, Hexham and Carlisle, with intermittent extensions to Whitehaven, and to the north, Cramlington and Morpeth on the main line, with extensions to Chathill. To the south east, the Durham Coast Line connects to Sunderland and County Durham and Teesside. Important stops include Hartlepool, Stockton and Middlesbrough, the line being shared with Tyne and Wear Metro trains to Sunderland. In peak hours some services arrive from Teesside via the main line. Additionally, Northern and Abellio ScotRail jointly operate a limited service to Glasgow Central via Carlisle. Together with the Metro stop and numerous local bus routes, the complex is one of the most important transport hubs in the North East. There are currently two Metro and 12 main line platforms seeing 13 million passengers annually, and in light of increasing patronage the main line station has undergone a major refurbishment to increase retail space and enhance the station environment including the pedestrianisation of the portico... more on Wikipedia.
