Embankment in place of School Lane bridge
School Lane, which runs just behind the fence visible in the photo, takes its name from a former village school Image in NY7407. It would have crossed the railway line on a bridge at this point, but at some time since the railway closed in the 1960s, the bridge has been demolished and replaced by an embankment.

Roadside fence, Smardale Station
With the former Smardale Station building in the background, the roadside fence marks the approximate position of the parapet of a demolished and filled in railway bridge. There was an Ordnance Survey benchmark on the parapet somewhere near the position of the left hand stone; it marked a height of 222.6869m above sea level (Ordnance Datum Newlyn) and was last verified in 1970. Note the unofficial 'No Parking' sign on the fence; this is a popular starting point for walkers following the railway path to Smardale Gill.
