Braithwaite station, a single platform with no passing loop, closed with the line to Cockermouth in 1966 and is seen here in residential use fifty five years later. The Disused Stations website has some excellent information and pictures about this station, including its appearance in a Hitchcock film masquerading as Coniston when the famous director made his traditional cameo appearance on this very platform.
