Interesting Web Sites

There are many interesting web sites which show industrial, engineering, railway & social history similar to that portrayed by Tanfield Railway.   One which I discovered recently shows Marsden Village, with its links to coal, industry & the South Shields, Marsden & Whitburn Colliery Railway (the Marsden Rattler).   Whitburn Colliery was really at Marsden, which was one of only three category D villages to be razed by DCC.

Finding these web sites seems to need a combination of luck, persistence, following links & Google.   Some only exist for a short time.    Those which I find I publish on theLinks of Interest

 page.   If you find an interesting web site for inclusion, please let me know.
