Name	Alnwick station, now Barter Books (8)
Distance	0.12 miles from NE66 2PW
Description	This is the north side of Alnwick's former railway station. The vehicle entrance from the Alnmouth road is at the foot of the slope on the left of the photo. The building is now the home of Barter Books (one of the UK's largest secondhand bookshops) and other businesses. The original station was built in 1850 but was replaced in 1887 by this much grander building. The station closed to rail traffic in 1968 when services on the branch line from Alnmouth were withdrawn.
