Description:A derelict part of Pool Dam Branch railway, which was opened in 1850. The railway was built as an industrial line to connect the Silverdale mines and ironworks with Pool Dam, originally so that the freight could then be transferred to the Newcastle Canal. After the link was made at Newcastle to the North Staffordshire railway, the link with the canal at Pool Dam was of little use and freight travelled directly along the line.
