M6 Borrowbeck Viaduct and the Victorian Low Borrowbeck Railway Viaduct near Tebay, Lune Gorge, Cumbria.
The 1846 viaduct was built for the Lancaster to Carlisle Railway (L&CR) and now carries the West Coast Main Line (WCML) from London to Scotland. The tiny Low Borrowbeck Bridge and Brockholes Bank on the flanks of Tebay Fell lie in the distance.
St. James Church, Tebay in Cumbria.
Sometimes known as the Railway Church because it was mainly funded by the London and North Western Railway Company for the benefit of railway workers. Consecrated in 1880, the interior is built with railway bricks and the pews resemble the seats in a railway waiting room.
St. James' Church, Tebay in Cumbria.
The coming of the railway through Tebay and an influx of railway workers led to a population explosion for the small village and the need for its own church. This 'Railway Church' was built in 1880 by C.J. Ferguson, and paid for by the London & North Western Railway Company. The two-tone brick schema in the church copied many of L&NWR’s railway stations and the benches are replicas of the L&NWR’s station benches.

Castle Howe, Tebay, Cumbria.
Earthwork remains of a medieval wooden motte and bailey castle occupying a long oval hillock of about one and three quarter acres. The motte rises almost 3 metres above the bailey. The keep would have stood on the motte and the lower and larger bailey would have had a fenced courtyard for living accommodation and possibly an area for livestock. Hungry Swaledale sheep followed me around waiting for food!
Low Borrowbridge Roman Fort, Tebay, Cumbria.
Only a flat turf-covered platform remains of this Roman fort, which now serves as a farmer's field. The upper field wall shown in this photograph stands on top of the eastern bank of the fort.
