Monkwearmouth Station Museum
Monkwearmouth Railway Station served Monkwearmouth, Sunderland, England. It was built in 1848 to a design by Thomas Moore.[1] and was once the main railway station in the city.[2] The railway station closed in March 1967 as and featured a restored booking office dating from the Edwardian period.
The Tyne and Wear Metro and mainline trains still pass through the station without stopping, but the Metro calls at St. Peter's station a few hundred yards south of the old station.
The museum is a Grade II* listed building.[3] As well as the ticket office visitors can explore the Wagon Shed, Journeys Gallery and Children's Gallery.[4]
There is also an ongoing programme of events and exhibitions.
