The 'long siding' from Oakenshaw North Junction, east of Wakefield, to Monk Bretton glassworks, just east of Barnsley, continues in existence only to deliver sand to the glassworks. For most of its length, it follows (on only a single track) the previously four track formation of the North Midland mainline from Chesterfield to Leeds, before diverting for its last half mile or so into the glassworks on a single track formation. Roadworks in the Cudworth/Monk Bretton area have meant that a new bridge has had to be built, hopefully ensuring the survival of the branch - if a bridge has been built it hopefully shows the line has a future. Only about one train a week uses it, unless anybody on here knows differently!
Monk and Newell were Liverpool based contractors who in 1883 established their brickworks in Ruabon north of the current B5605 Ruabon Road and west of the railway. The 1899 OS map shows 20 kilns and extensive buildings with a chain ginney leading from the adjacent claypit. Thomas Monk died in 1889 and John Newell continued to operate the works. The business had closed by 1917 when the works was requisitioned by the Ministry of Munitions and the lease was sold to Thomas Dugdale Stubbs who sold it on to his own company The North Wales Brick & Tile Co which operated until 1929 manufacturing under the trade name Rubric.

The infant River Calder passes underneath Monk’s Bridge on Cold Fell in Cumbria. It was built for the monks of Calder Abbey, who would have crossed it on their many journeys, and is the oldest packhorse bridge in Cumbria. Iron ore would have been carried over it from Ennerdale to smithies on the fells to be smelted. The bridge is also known as Matty Benn’s Bridge, after the family Benn who lived nearby.
