Shap
Britannia 70010 'Owen Glendower' has just set off from the sidings at Hardendale Quarry in June 1967 and is heading north through Shap station with a load of limestone, probably destined for Ravenscraig. The neat little station at Shap had a very sparse service by this time and, along with Tebay, closed exactly one year after this picture was taken. Hardendale, seen in the background, remains active and rail served to this day.
