Course of former canal and railway
The Carlisle Canal, opened in 1823, passed through here on its route to Port Carlisle. By 1854 it had been drained and replaced by a railway (later extended to Silloth) which itself closed in 1964.
Now converted to domestic gardens, as seen from the end of St Lawrence Lane.

The Old Station, Burgh by Sands
Now a private house.
The station opened in 1854, originally on the Port Carlisle Railway http://www.cumbria-railways.co.uk/port-carlisle-railway.html . In 1856, the section of line Burgh was on was taken over by the new Carlisle & Silloth Bay Railway http://www.cumbria-railways.co.uk/carlisle_silloth_bay_railway.html . The route closed in 1964.
The distinctive gabled roof of this building can be seen on a photo taken in 1961

An inscription around the triangular window says 'AD 1891 CHAs. BOYD C.E.'. Mr Boyd was engineer to the Carlisle & Silloth railway.
