DescriptionBootle (Cumberland) Station 1854648 72f0eb28.jpg
English: Bootle (Cumberland) Station.
View southward, towards Barrow-in-Furness and Carnforth; ex-Furness Rly. Carnforth - Barrow - Whitehaven secondary main line - still open. (Near here, in World War Two on 22/3/45, there was a massive explosion when a blazing wagon in a train of depth-charges blew up. The crew of the engine had very courageously managed to isolate the burning wagon from the rest of the train so preventing the whole lot going up; the driver was the only person killed and the fireman lived and was awarded the George Medal).
