East Newport Signal Box at the far end of the station. Photograph from 1968 not long before closure in 1969. Only single track remaining as no need by then for access to Tayport or for sidings access to the goods yard which had been behind the signal box.
An almost deserted East Newport Station in November 1965.
A wet and dismal day at East Newport. This photograph is from November 1965. The wooden steps are ready at the edge of the platform for the arrival of the next train. In 1952 there were 22 trains each way each day on the line. In the background can be seen the canopies of the ...
Series of photographs showing East Newport Station site after closure. The station closed in 1969 and houses were built on the site by 1980. These photographs probably date from mid 1970s before final clearance of site. Only the main station building (picture 4) was retained.
A wintry view of an abandoned and derelict East Newport station after its closure in May 1969.
A very early view of East Newport station with staff lined up on platform. Probably 1890s.
The earliest known image of East Newport station, probably not long after the railway opened in 1879. No other buildings to be seen, but that would soon change as a result of the arrival of the railway.
A lovely clear photograph of East Newport station and the view towards the rail bridge, taken before the footbridge was erected in 1902. There is still much open space on either side of Station Road, and in the distance the Mars training ship can be seen.
Goods wagons in an otherwise deserted 1960s evening view of East Newport Station. The raised signal on the right indicates that the line to Tayport is clear, and smoke from the ferry B L Nairn drifts over the river.
A more unusual view of East Newport station in these two photographs taken from Linden Avenue.
Newport station house beginning to look rather dilapidated after rail closure in 1969. Photograph from 1971.
Some 60 or more years separate these two photographs taken from almost identical locations at East Newport Station, probably around early 1900s and 1970.
East Newport station platform sign, with house in Norwood behind. The ground between the station and Norwood was at one time used for allotments.
Tremendous view of the 12.28 train from Dundee to Tayport on 21 September 1963, leaving East Newport station. Image directly in front of the present day Craighead care home. Just visible on the right are the chimneys of Craighead Road.
Eddie Grimes had his joinery workshop here on West Road in the 1960s and 1970s. For such an unassuming building, 35/37 West Road has an interesting history. The building started its life as the chapel for the Congregational Church, and it fulfilled this purpose from probably around 1822 until 1868 when their new church was ...
Edna Campbell's Junior Showtime Dance School, July 1969
Elephants lined up outside the pier buildings waiting for the ferry. It was common practice a century ago for circus animals to walk from town to town between shows, with excited school-children sometimes being allowed out of class to see them pass.
A postcard of Riverside road, Wormit, showing the house called Elmbank (now no 14) on the right.
Fancy dress parade in Newport High Street as part of the victory celebrations at the end of WW2. It was probably very soon after the end of the war - possibly VE Day. Note the absence of male onlookers. Ron Caird is the young cowboy.
After the disaster the engine was raised from the river, and taken to Glasgow for repairs. These repairs cost just £50. The engine then steamed on for another 40 years, during which time her drivers affectionately referred to her as 'The Diver'.
Postcard entitled 'Evening on the Tay'. In the foreground is the old pier at the bottom of Granary Lane.
