StationName and dates
Harrington Church Road Halt (1913-1926)Opened on the Cleator and Workington Junction Railway.
Description
This was a minimal single platform station on the north or west side of the line. It opened on the Cleator and Workington Junction Railway's Harrington Branch (later known as the Rosehill Branch) which connected Bain's Tramway to the Cleator and Workington Junction Railway.
The station opened when the Harrington and Lowca Light Railway Act allowed the conversion of most of Bain's Tramway into a public railway.
This old mineral line had been used for workers' trains from 1911 run by the Workington Iron and Steel Company from Workington Central via the Cleator and Workington Junction Railway and Bain's Tramway to Harrington No 10 and Harrington No 11 collieries at Lowca.
This station was built on the Cleator and Workington Junction Railway, probably at the Workington Iron and Steel Company's expense as part of the Harrington and Lowca Light Railway.
Stations were opened on the Cleator and Workington Junction Railway at Harrington Church Road Halt, Rosehill (Archer Street) Halt and, on Bain's Tramway, Copperas Hill, Micklam and Lowca.
