The area around Salter's Gate near to Wolsingham and Tow Law is one of complex history and geography. The rail bed from here ran NNW, soon branching, to join a high level rail route crossing moorland, and to run to Tyneside; to the SE. it ran to Tow Law; the station platform may never have been opened to passengers. Nearby there is evidence of lost buildings, probable coal drops, old quarry workings and a more recent gas distribution installation. Beyond the platform lies the now disused Salter's Gate Ammuntition Depot.
