Station Name: BEAL for HOLY ISLAND[Source: Alan Young]
The former goods yard of Beal station, looking east in 2013. A North Eastern Railway warning notice is displayed on the wall. A Peckett 0-4-0 saddle tank engine (with NER stencilled on) is on display. In December 2011 a planning application was made to use the site for five railway carriages which could be used as holiday lets or bed and breakfast accommodation, only a short drive from Holy Island. Having been granted in May 2012 the site was put on the market for £95,000 in 2013 but has subsequently been withdrawn. Photo from sale brochure
