Roman Bath House Remains, Ravenglass

Ravenglass Roman Bath House is a ruined ancient Roman bath house at Ravenglass, Cumbria, England. Belonging to a 2nd-century Roman fort and naval base. The bath house is described by Matthew Hyde in his update to the Pevsner Guide to Cumbria as "an astonishing survival". The still standing walls are 13 ft (4 m) high, there are patches of the internal rendering, in dull red and white cement, and traces of the splayed window openings remain. The relatively good state of preservation of the bath house is believed to be attributable to its being adapted for domestic use in the medieval period. Link

Marsh Creep

Marsh Creep is railway bridge number 142 (engineer’s reference CBC1/142) on the Barrow-in-Furness to Whitehaven section of the Cumbrian Coast Line. Of 14’10” span, built on a slight skew and resting on brick and stone abutments, the deck is constructed of steel trough girders and floorplates. The bridge was reconstructed by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1930, but the patterned design of the cast iron side girders indicates that they are of greater antiquity and they were possibly retained from the original Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway bridge. The bridge deck is heavily corroded and this bridge looks to be a candidate for early replacement. The Cumbria Coastal Way follows a public bridleway under the bridge.

War Memorial, A595

War memorials were mainly constructed after WWI to commemorate the troops who gave their lives in the war. Many were then updated after WWII. Some war memorials date back to the Boer War. Almost every town and village in Britain has a War Memorial. They take many forms, the commonest being an obelisk, a cross or statue of a soldier. Some commemorate the inhabitants of a place, some are for schools and others are for companies or Military groupings. Many memorials are grade II listed, 61 are II* listed, Link
