Snippet Detail

Plate 147 is a 1963 view from the south of a small development for the Laporte Chemical Company.  Barytes, produced by the Silverband mine, was carried by aerial rope-way from a crushing plant at the mine to the bunker and hopper located by a new siding to the right of the goods shed. (/location-summaries/structure-280040) (See Fig. 52).  By the time the photograph was taken the siding had been removed.  The goods shed is for three wagons, as originally planned. 

Note the typical S&C location of the loading gauge (/location-summaries/structure-280030) near the entrance to the goods shed (/location-summaries/structure-280040); on this occasion an LMS pattern reinforced-concrete posted structure has replaced the Midland variety.

Also note the weigh office (/location-summaries/structure-280060) and hipped roof platelayers hut (/location-summaries/structure-280090).

Also in the distance (on the left of the plate) is the main station building and booking office (/location-summaries/structure-280210) on the up platform.

Figure 50 shows the track layout for Long Marton based upon information from Midland Railway surveys for 1911 and 1912.
