Dunston Staithes is an impressive 526-meter-long wooden structure on the River Tyne in Gateshead, England, built in 1893 by the North Eastern Railway to efficiently load coal onto ships for export worldwide. Constructed of North American pitch pine, the structure was once the heart of the region's coal industry, processing up to 140,000 tons of coal per week in the 1920s. After closing in 1980, it fell into disrepair but reopened in 1990 as a heritage site during the Gateshead Garden Festival. Despite repeated fire damage and restoration, it remains a listed building and a rare example of industrial architecture.
