Middlebarrow Quarry, last time I passed this way, this was a thriving limestone quarry with the threat of closure looming large on the horizon, it has obviously closed, the mine buildings have been removed and large scale landscaping has taken place, who knows what the future holds.

Undeniably impressive the Kent Viaduct opened in 1857 proved vital to the development of the Cumbria coast, unfortunately this isolated the port of Milnthorpe causing the estuary to silt up, so!
   
As part compensation in 1860 the Ulverston and Lancaster Railway Company built Arnside Pier.
