View NE at the roundabout on the A595 Barrow- Whitehaven road. The station had been just up to the left here: ex-LNW & Furness Joint, Whitehaven, Cleator & Egremont line; Moor Row (to left) - Sellafield (to right). The station (and line) had a complex history, being first closed to passengers 7/1/35, but reopened for workmen 11/3/40, for the public 6/5/46 - 16/6/47, but again for workmen 23/5/49 - 6/9/65, for schools 3/3/69. It and the line remained for goods until 15/6/72. (!)
