Bulgill railway station (site), Cumbria

Opened in 1845 by the Maryport & Carlisle Railway on what is today the line from Barrow-in-Furness to Carlisle, this station closed to passengers in 1960 and completely in 1964. View north east towards Aspatria and Carlisle. The Carlisle-bound platform and main building were to the left of the line on this side of the bridge. The Maryport-bound platform was on the other side of the bridge, behind the camera position.

Opened in 1845 by the Maryport & Carlisle Railway on what is today the line from Barrow-in-Furness to Carlisle, this station closed to passengers in 1960 and completely in 1964. View south west towards Dearham Bridge, Maryport and Barrow. The Maryport-bound platform was to the left of the line on this side of the bridge. The Carlisle-bound platform and main building were on the other side of the bridge, behind the camera position. The steps down to platform level can still be seen on the left.

Crosby Villa on the A596

Built as a pit village, the rows of miners cottages feel slightly strange in a modern countryside setting, but must once been full of hustle & bustle. When I was looking for info on this small settlement it turned out that there was a fatal crash on this very bend just 6 months previous.

Farm track to Homerigg

Tarmacked and classed as a minor C road for the first half a mile, this is a very narrow road, and was seriously difficult to turn around on, despite having a field gate entrance to utilise, I think I managed a 22 point turn!
