Rail accidents at Morpeth
The town of Morpeth in Northumberland, England has what is reputed to be the most severe curve of any main railway line in Britain. The track turns almost 90° from a northerly to an easterly direction immediately south of Morpeth Station, on an otherwise fast section of the East Coast Main Line railway. This was a major factor in three serious derailments between 1969 and 1994. The curve has a permanent speed restriction of 50 miles per hour .
Morpeth Clock Tower
Morpeth Clock Tower is one of Morpeth's most famous landmarks. The tower stands 55 ft high with walls 3 ft 6 in thick. Tucked away off the corner of the Market Place in the town centre, it is now dwarfed by more modern structures such as the Town Hall (originally designed by Vanbrugh in 1714) and the YMCA buildings of 1905.
