Silloth railway station
Silloth was the terminus of the Carlisle and Silloth Bay Railway, a branch railway from Carlisle, England.
Overview
It was closed by the Beeching axe on 7 September 1964.
The Allerdale council in northern England passed its final approval on a plan to demolish the remaining structure of the station on 8 December 2006. The development firm James Morgan Ltd. was awarded a contract to build new single-family housing on the property. Stuart Hinchliffe, director of the development firm also stated "We will be reinstating as much of the old railway platform as we can, to maintain Silloth’s Victorian history."[1]
