Plate 156 is a context view from the north taken in May 1965. However, a few changes have taken place, and include a new signal box, new fencing, the ivy has been removed and the ornate lamp columns have been replaced by lamps on wooden posts.
In line with other Settle and Carlisle stations, Culgaith became an unstaffed halt on 2 January 1967, and was closed to passengers on 4 May 1970. Goods facilities had been withdrawn on 5 October 1964.
Plate 157 is a view from the south of Culgaith from June. 1961. On the right is the crossing keeper’s house (/location-summaries/structure-284690), originally intended as the basis of station building. The structure which was eventually built bears no relation to other Settle and Carlisle structures, although it is an attractive style building.
Plate 158 shows Culgaith level crossing (/location-summaries/structure-284680) and signal box in April 1971. The signal box brought into use on 4 October 1908, was of wood construction, measured 16ft 6in x 11ft 6in x 8ft, had a 16 lever tappet frame with 6in centres, and had a renewal cost of £250 (W & W Committee Minute No 22118, 2/11/1906). The gates to the road crossing were converted a manned barrier installation in 1976.
