Wooler Haugh Crossing lies on the North Eastern Railway line from Alnwick to Coldstream, in Wooler. The station buildings on this line were lavishly built to the designs of William Bell who was presumably also responsible for the substantial crossing keeper's cottages located at several points along the line. Stone built, with two storeys and a gabled roof, most are still lived in and have been extended.
The NER line from Alnwick to Coldstream opened in 1887 and this section, Wooler to Coldstream, closed in 1965. (1)
