Bedlington coal company bought the iron works around 1880 and the remaining paper work after the fire at the iron works was kept at Bedlington collieries group offices at Bedlington A pit. The head clerk Stan Warren would have known where about it was kept and what happen to it.
Until I read this post I didn’t know that the Ironworks (and the wagonway) were owned by the Bedlington Coal Company so I checked Evan Martin’s book "Bedlington Iron & Engine Works" and the photo below is copied from his book.
In June 2022 Eggy posted an article stating that the East Bedlington Parish Council were launching a project on “The 1821 waggon way from Willow Bridge to the River Blyth” funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund
it would be interesting to know if the project has been completed and if so where the report can be obtained.
