Brackenhirst Tip

Opened on the North Monkland Railway.

Description

This tip was served by sidings from Brackenhirst Junction on the North Monkland Railway.

The tip was to the south of Brackenhirst Quarry and Brackenhirst Works (Fireclay) both of which were rail served.

The layout of the sidings here changed over the years as the tip expanded.
