Millom Iron Works

A Barclay 0-4-0ST, probably No. 1, bustles about the foundry with internal user hopper wagons on the last day of operations at Millom Ironworks in 1968. On the left a John Fowler diesel shunter busies itself with a rake of 16 tonners. After the works closed later that year all trace of the industry was quickly swept away, although the three diesel locomotives went to Workington Docks where they survived for a further forty years.
