Marley Hill - Waggonway Row

Waggonway Row was built in the 1840s right alongside the Pontop & Jarrow Railway, near to the Coke works. In 1901 fifty-five families occupied the houses with a population of 290. It became known as High Row. A 1959 map shows the west end of the row to be in ruins and the whole row was demolished in 1960.
