The west end of the Nature Reserve, where the burn meets the road, was formerly the railhead of the valley line Image The ruined buildings shown here lie between the upper and lower sections of the railhead. The most notable is a large section of retaining wall showing numerous phases of build and construction types. The wall includes a number of arched openings and cast-iron pipework, of unknown function, but probably associated with adjacent coal screens to the north-east. There is another photo here Image
