Snippet Detail

Figure 81 is a diagram of the track layout at Howe & Company's Siding, based upon a Midland Railway survey of 6 August 1886 in connection with the provision of a private siding to the brick and tile works of Mr Claude Lonsdale.  By 1912, the works of this company went under the name of the Carlisle Brick and Tile Co (/location-summaries/structure-302800).  Note the position of the signal box  on the 'up' side, this box had twelve levers, two of which were spare.  The connection to the siding is from the 'down' side only, with no direct communication on the 'up' side.
