Bull Haw Moss

Torver Goods Yard The old railway goods yard at Torver is now used by a local builder for storage. The stone built goods shed contained a loading platform upon which was mounted a 1 ton hand operated crane manufactured by R. Kitchen ironfounders in Warrington. The crane has subsequently been relocated to the rear of The Wilson’s Arms. The goods shed was used as a hay barn after the railway closed but lost its roof in a fire and stood derelict for a number of years before being repaired, altered and re-roofed and brought back into use.

Torver The road here passing in front of the cottages and The Wilson Arms was originally the A593 road until it was realigned between a point near Torver Station and Dalton Road Gates level crossing, taking advantage of the alignment of the former railway.

Torver Station The station building is now let as a holiday cottage and the old platform is still visible. The platform and track bed have been converted into a garden with a fenced pond. Torver station was on the Foxfield to Coniston branch of The Furness Railway. It was only provided with a single low platform; the red sandstone coping stones still bear a few faint traces of white paint on the platform edge more than 60 years after the line closed to passengers.

The Wilson Arms With few patrons on a moody March day, The Wilson Arms catches a fleeting patch of sun beneath the lower slopes of The Coniston Fells. The adjacent Torver Deli is an integral part of the pub and also serves as a useful village shop for the few remaining residents in a village consisting mainly of holiday homes. The pub describes itself as The Wilson Arms but the pub sign reads The Wilsons; the website has both! It is unusual to find a pub using two official names simultaneously.
