1910s
Looking east from end of Railway Terrace at the ore sidings at Lindal. An 0-6-0 London and North-Western Railway engine at head of approximately 26 mixed wagons of iron ore facing towards Barrow. Chimney of Lowfield mine in the background. Three men looking out from the footplate. First wagon is a colliery wagon from Durham. A small tank engine is visible in the sidings on the left. Thought to be WW1 period when wagons were pooled across the networks and thus not unusual to have a Durham colliery wagon carrying ore. The engines were known as Cauliflowers as the painted crest on the engine looked like cauliflowers. Unusual to have three on the footplate - During the 1919 strike?
