Monkwearmouth
A Tyne & Wear Metro service, passes the closed station at Monkwearmouth in July 2004 on the northern approach to Sunderland. The 1848 station, originally built by the YN&B as a terminus, lost much of its importance in 1879 when the line crossed the River Wear to reach the centre of Sunderland. It closed in 1967 and is now an acclaimed museum.
