Lancaster (Quayside)
The old trackbed of the Glasson Dock Branch drops down a 1:50 gradient from Lancaster Castle Station to sea level. Part of the old embankment is now used by Lancaster Cricket Club as a grandstand as seen here. Just beyond the clump of trees is the point where the reverse spur to the quayside factories See image 29233 joined the branch. In 2010 it will be the 80th anniversary of closure of this line to passengers on 7 July 1930 but this particular stretch remained open for goods traffic until 1969.
