Gairs and Howgill Waggon Ways
Howgill Waggon Way (1798-1835) making its way along the side of Tindale Fell to Tarnhouse Colliery
The Gairs standard gauge railway line (1909) making its was across the side of Brown Fell
Looking down a stretch of the original 1798 Wagon Way towards Tindale Tarn
Hard to believe that this isn’t the flood entrance to one of the Venture drift mines
The track bed turns the spur on Brown Fell as it climbs towards Gairs
Looking back down the track bed to Foresthead in the Valley
Looking from the siding at “Wallnuick” down onto the main Gairs Railway, which continues along the side of Brown Fell to Gairs Colliery (top right)
Note: The only reference that I can find to Wallnuick is in "The Brampton Railway" by John Charters and published by Oakwood Press in 1971

Yes ,Foresthead to the Gairs colliery is exactly as you say on the map and the images of the tracks bring back lots of memories for me as my mother lived at the Gairs which was built for the coal manager in about 1869,an image of the Gairs is not amongst your photos but I remember it well and my mothers neighbour at the Gairs became the legendary Northumbrian piper Joe Hutton,it is an area that I never tire of visiting when I can.

From 1948 to 1988 my family rented half of the Gairs as a summer holiday cottage.
Many happy memories – we would probably still be there if it was not for Mrs Thatcher’s Poll Tax.
Images now are sad with robbed out walls and slates.
When did your mother live there please?
All the best
Martin
