Fontburn
Hm, so what are we looking at here? A very short stone-built causeway and a complex network of concrete posts linked together with metal bars. Some kind of unusual mine loading point? No, this is Fontburn station which was approached along that short stone causeway onto a timber platform which itself was in front of the concrete posts. The posts formed the fencing at the back of the platform and ran up either side of the stone causeway. The tall post bore a lamp. The view looks north. This view is from the same angle as the photograph in the Oakwood Press book on the line.
