Near site of Cleator Moor station, 1986 A view along the course of the former Cleator & Workington Junction line, which was built, along with various other lines, for transporting haematite iron ore from the rich mines in the area to the iron and steel works in the Workington and Harrington Districts. For 100 years from the 1860s this area, nowadays almost reclaimed by nature, had been heavily industrialised and honeycombed by railways: the remnants of spoil-heaps from the iron and coal mines can be seen on the horizon. Keekle Viaduct can also be seen in the extreme left background.
