Kirk Beck Viaduct & modern pylons
Built by the Whitehaven, Cleator and Egremont Railway in 1857 it later joined with the Furness Railway to give access for coal & iron ore trains to reach ports like Barrow and Workington. The line closed after the last of the mines shut in the 1980's but it was not until 1993 that the tracks were lifted. Some of the line is now a rail trail.
