Newtongrange [Village]
View south from the top of Eighth Street, Newtongrange, in September 2019. The overgrown trackbed of the Newbattle Collieries Railway runs between the modern fence on the left and the original boundary wall on the right. It continues to just beyond Sixth Street where it becomes farming land. The route beyond, between Third Street and the site of Lingerwood Road level crossing, now forms part of the extended gardens of the houses on Lothian Terrace. The pedestrian route on the right still runs in parallel with the trackbed on the other side of the wall. [See Railscot article 'Newtongrange - The Making of Scotlands Largest Pit Village']
