Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway

Entrance to Haverthwaite station. 
Locomotive 'Princess' awaits departure from Haverthwaite to Lakeside, to connect with the Lake Windermere ship to Bowness and Waterhead.

A deserted station now that the train has departed. 
In years gone by metal advertising signs were a feature of railway stations. There are several  at Haverthwaite as the following images show.  Our thanks to the Roving Lakeland Correspondent for some of the photographs.




There was an added attraction at the station of some owls from the local raptor centre. 


The line comes to a dead end after the short section through the tunnel. At one time it continued on to join the Lancaster to Barrow-in-Furness line.
