SCRCA Secondary Reference: Review of Anderson & Fox (1986) for 290940Created on 14 Sep 2015. Figure 65 shows the track layout at Long Meg Sidings, from a Midland Railway survey for 1912. Shipping of materials by rail from Long Meg Plaster and Mineral Co Ltd workings developed from 1896, when sidings, rail connections and associated signal box control were established. The facilities provided at the time are detailed in this diagram. Subsequent rationalisation resulted in removal of the connections to the ‘down’ main line, as shown in Figure 66. Figure 66 shows the track layout of… Read more |
SCRCA Secondary Reference: Review of Anderson & Fox (1986) for 283330Created on 23 Aug 2015. Plate 173 is an elevation view from May 1963 showing the Passenger Shelter (Down) (/location-summaries/structure-289630) on the Down Platform (/location-summaries/structure-289660). The Shelter is a repeat of the one at New Biggin but in a better state of repair (See Plate 153). The gables of the Stationmaster’s House (/location-summaries/structure-289640) can be seen behind the shelter. |

It has seven arches of 44ft 7in span, and was built during 1874 and 1875 with stone abutments, wings, piers and parapets, and brick arches. It is 134yds long and 60ft high. |
SCRCA Secondary Reference: Review of Anderson & Fox (1986) for 292560Created on 16 Aug 2015. Plate 164 is an elevation view from the south of the medium sized station building at Langwathby (/location-summaries/structure-288280) taken in August 1966. Most of the oil lamps are mounted on wooden posts against the fence and have replaced lamps on tall cast- iron fluted columns. However, as at New Biggin (/location-summaries/structure-283350) and Lazonby, one square lamp, mounted on a shortened cast post, has been retained to mark the entrance/exit to the platform. Plate 181 is an… Read more |
SCRCA Secondary Reference: Review of Anderson & Fox (1986) for 304130Created on 16 Aug 2015. Plate 168 is an elevation view from October 1984 showing the station master’s house at Langwathby (/location-summaries/structure-288320), standing near to the Alston Road, at the entrance to the station. The style remained the same at all locations, and is detailed in Figure 88 at Cumwhinton. As with the stations, the materials used for construction varied, in this case the local red sandstone was used.

SCRCA Secondary Reference: Review of Anderson & Fox (1986) for 287960Created on 16 Aug 2015. Plate 166 shows under bridge no 288 (/location-summaries/structure-288330) in October 1964. It was strengthened in 1904 in line with the Midland Railway decision to upgrade the line. The wrought-iron members were supplemented by the addition of a steel centre girder, connected to the cross-girders by steel hanger bolts. This type of bridge is similar to Bridge no 2 at Anley (Plate 6) (/location-summaries/structure-235300) but the need for extensive wing walls with relieving arches does not… Read more |
