Former Culgaith Railway Station
Culgaith Railway Station of the Settle-Carlisle Railway line was closed in May 1970. The Settle-bound (up) station building,nwhich sits on a surviving portion of the southbound platform, has been converted into a private dwelling. The nearby garden centre includes buildings that were once used to pack hampers for those heading north on the railway for pheasant shoots, deer stalking, etc. in Scotland. Most of the remaining station buildings (including the northbound platform) were demolished after closure, although the old goods shed has also survived.
The buildings possessed a completely different appearance to all other stations on the Settle - Carlisle line due to it being built four years after the others; it was designed by John Holloway Sanders and is of style known as Derby Gothic. The Station Master had a small cottage, rather than the normal substantial house.
The entrance to the 661 yard long Culgaith Tunnel can be seen in the distance.
