Workington Central railway station (site), Cumbria
Opened in 1879 by the Cleator and Workington Junction Railway on the line from Cleator Moor to Siddick, this station closed to passengers in 1931. View north towards Siddick, also Seaton.
The camera position would have been between the two railway lines. Two platforms ran on either side from around here right up to the bridge. There was a two storey brick building on the right hand platform, roughly where the red car is. The site is believed to have been cleared in the early 1980s.

The Henry Bessemer, Oxford Street
The original name of the building - Oxford Picture Theatre - is still visible on the front.
In common with other Wetherspoon pubs, the name has a local association. Henry Bessemer invented a way to manufacture cheap steel by blasting air through molten iron http://www.westcumbriaguide.com/p/v/features/bessemer-converter/ which enabled Workington to prosper as a steelmaking town.
