Vickers Gun Range Sidings [Eskmeals]
The majority of exhibits in the excellent Barrow Dock Museum relate to ship building or iron making industries and community life within the town. However, this name plate from the Vickers Gun Range Sidings signal box, closed in 1983, is mounted on the museum wall. The box controlled access to the short Eskmeals branch to the ranges near Ravenglass. It had an unusual Ransomes and Rapier horse rake 11-lever frame that is now preserved at the NRM York. See image 44051 for a picture of the Eskmeals branch taken after closure.
