Site of Monk Moors halt, between Bootle and Eskmeals, Cumbrian Coast line. Tuesday 24 July 2018
In 1897 Naval Construction & Armament Ltd, the then operators of Barrow Shipyard established a gun testing range on the shoreline near Eskmeals. A railway siding was laid for the delivery of heavy naval gun mountings; this line ran in south-westerly direction from the Cumbrian coast railway between Bootle and Eskmeals and was connected to the northbound track (towards Workington).
In 1900 immediately south of the junction two short wooden platforms were erected on the main line embankment for the use of workers employed on the range. This halt was named Monk Moors and was used only by authorised staff. Access to both platforms was from a lane immediately east of the railway bridge that it ran under. You went up a sloped path to the south end of the southbound platform where pedestrian access was also provided across the main line for the northbound platform. There was also a signal box on the east side of the railway, north of the junction.
The halt and branch line have long since disappeared; the firing range is now a well secured MOD site.

~ Monk's House, Rodmell, the country home of Virginia and Leonard Woolf.
They bought this house in 1919, and Leonard lived here until his death in 1969.
Virginia committed suicide in 1941.
Virginia's usual routine involved working in her writing lodge in the mornings, walking on the downs or beside the river in the afternoon, and reading or writing letters and journalistic articles after tea.
She would often visit her sister Vanessa Bell at Charleston Farmhouse, Firle, home of the Bloomsbury Group - friends who rejected Victorian society in search of a new approach to art, literature and life.
