Snippet Detail

Plate 171 is an elevation view from the north from 2 May 1970, two days before closure to passengers, having been unstaffed for three years.  Taken from the down platform, it shows the Main Building and Booking Office (/location-summaries/structure-289650) and the Passenger Platform (Up) (/location-summaries/structure-289670)

It gives a fine view of a small type of building.

Figure 63 is the Little Salkeld track layout, based upon a Midland Railway survey of 1913.

Figure 64 shows the signalling diagram for Little Salkeld, based upon information available for 1955.

Plate 172 is a context view from the north with the Main Building and Booking Office (/location-summaries/structure-289650 on the left of the image.  On the right is the Passenger Platform (Down), in front of which is the the signal box (/location-summaries/structure-289740) brought into use on 13 August 1899.  It was of wood construction, measured 16ft 6in x 11ft 6in x 8ft, had a 12 lever tumbler frame and a renewal cost of £230 (W & W Committee Minute No 17176, 18/5/1899).  It was closed on 6 July 1964, but the crossover to the Carlisle side of the signal box and the signals controlling it were removed on 21 July 1963.

Plate 173 is an elevation view from May 1963 showing the Passenger Shelter (Down) (/location-summaries/structure-289630) on the Down Platform. The Shelter is a repeat of the one at New Biggin (/location-summaries/structure-283330) 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.
