Norman, it would have to be me on the right, looking at how tiny the waist is of the lady on the left, even at 8 stone 2 lbs ( when Young I might add) I would never have a waist as small as her😊

The original station was designed by John Dobson but owing to a stroke Thomas Prosser finished it off. However it won the Paris Exhibition of 1856. The girders were the first curved ones ever made and by Hawks and Crayshay in Gateshead. Another work of 150 feet of historical art!
