London & North Eastern Railway Architect and Engineering Departments

The North Eastern Region Architects’ Department and Civil Engineering Department was based in offices at York. The Architects’ Department dealt mainly with buildings, such as housing, stations and warehouses. The Civil Engineers’ Department dealt mainly with infrastructure, such as permanent way, signalling, bridges, tunnels, viaducts and similar structures. The York offices of these departments tended to cover the region from Berwick to Doncaster and between the north east coast and the Pennines.
