Snippet Detail

Figure 82 is the track layout for the Sidings based upon information from an LMS survey of 1927.  By the time, the Gotham Company of Nottingham had taken over interest in the Cocklake's alablaster works (formerly Howe & Co.). This change appeared in amendments in 1921, although there was an Agreement with the LMS, dated 14 November 1924.  The signal box (/location-summaries/structure-302930) was replaced to the position shown here, in 1916.  The private siding for the Thomas Hamilton Company, shown on the Midland Railway map, was an extension of the northerly Howe & Co Siding headshunt.  Hamilton Company changed its name to Messrs Wright in 1918.  The siding was taken out of use in 1924.
