Lamancha

Some 2 miles south west of Leadburn lies the hamlet of Lamancha, once served by a station on the LL&D route. The station closed along with the line in 1933, although the section north of Broomlee back to Leadburn was reopened in 1939 to service wartime RNAD facilities (the track was finally lifted at the end of 1960). View is west in 2004 from the former station entrance off the A701, with most of the platform now subsumed within the modern building, although a surviving section can be seen to the left.
