Cowgill chapel - navvies memorial In addition to residents of the village buried over the years - and it&#039;s such a small place there can rarely have been more than a couple of funerals a year - 72 railway workers and their families (so several hundred people) died in the few years it took to build the Settle-Carlisle railway across the head of Dentdale.

Cowgill chapel - organ Although it only has one manual (keyboard) it&#039;s surprisingly large for such a small church. Most small village chapels of this era would just have had a harmonium.

Coal Road, Cowgill A sign warns of a single track road ahead. It doesn&#039;t mention the gradient, shown on the map with a single arrow indicating 1:7 to 1:5. As I had to push my bicycle most of the way up, I suspect it was nearer the latter figure.

Artengill viaduct from Lea Yeat Brow A well known feature of the Settle-Carlisle line, dramatic seen close up, but this photo shows its setting in the landscape of Upper Dentdale. Unusually it is both a listed structure (grade II, list entry 1383817) and a scheduled monument (1007242).

Dentdale service reservoir Seen from above. There&#039;s no impounding reservoir in this dale, so it&#039;s either spring-fed, or treated water is pumped up the dale.

Dent station car park The car park has been resurfaced since last photographed for this site in 2018 <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5718497">SD7687 : Dent station entrance</a>. The bus stop is served only by a very irregular service; most passengers arriving here without a car probably book a taxi unless they live very locally or are prepared to walk or cycle the five miles to/from Dent village or beyond.
