- Settle & Carlise Railway - Running between Carlisle and Leeds this station in Nth Yorkshire was an important railway spot where two railway lines spanned across into Cumbria and Yorkshire fighting for express connectivity to Scotland.
Three stations have served this historic market town. Settle Junction closed in 1877 when this grade 2 listed station originally called ‘Settle New’ designed by the Midland Railway company architect John Holloway Sanders opened at the same time as the line off to Carlisle on the 1 May 1876.

The railway cuts through the stunning limestone landscape and waterfalls with a hidden kiln once connected to the railway sat beside.

The railway’s availability just south of the kiln site was built about 1849 by the Little North Western coming from Leeds or over to Ingleton - 25 years before the Settle to Carlisle railway was built.
At Langcliffe Scar the old Limestone Kiln played an important role in the railway. After visiting the railway station I'll discover the Kiln's location and beauty.

First got to learn about the Settle Carlisle in 1964 when the school I attended rented Ormside Station as a hostel for us kids to enjoy the stunning landscapes of the lakes.
Being a young train spotter it was a double bonus for me.
Happy days
Fantastic! My favourite video yet.
Great video, Gordon. New subscriber here. Further to the Hoffman kiln shown there is the remains of one in my home town of Ilkeston in Derbyshire. It was used by the Oakwell Brick Co for firing bricks. It is a listed building as far as I know, but the council are sadly not interested in making it safe or repairing it.
In my most Yorkshire accent " That was bloody grand lad "
Another interesting find superbly located and presented:-) x
A lot of research went into this and it shows. It's another excellent video. Thank you.
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed this.
Another excellent and informative video. Thanks for taking the time to make it for us, stay safe and take care.
My pleasure. It’s a great adventure to share these stories with you and the community. We are blessed with such great history and a landscape to match.
The foot bridge compliments the station it very elegant and looks period correct to my eyes glad it was not scrapped it would have been a crime.
Amazing video and incredible history of the lost railways in the North of England. Including that viaduct. And can’t forget the Midland Blue Pullman HST that went passed as well.
You're getting really good at this now😁
Absolute brilliant video!
Really enjoyed this Gordon 👍i never knew the kilns existed...as usual well informative and well made....brilliant footage of the blue Pullman 🙂....I can’t wait for you’re next episode now 👍
Great Video indeed, the shop at Settle Station is brilliant, popped in their myself and those kilns looks awesome, also at Settle here is a nice Fish and Chip shop there as well and remember having it in the waiting room at Settle Station while waiting for my next train.
That chippy looked very busy. A good sign it’s grand! Cheers buddy.
Great video and well put together. Ticked a lot of my interests, industrial history and the railways.
Glad you enjoyed it
So THAT'S what you were doing at Settle last Saturday !! Well done yet again Gordon, looking forward to the next one !!

As a FOSCL member ...welcome to the wonderful Settle Carlisle railway..
Epic video thanks 👍
Very interesting, many thanks Gordon.
So well preserved. Another industrial gem.
Fantastic that you caught The HST Midland Blue Pullman in the scene of the shot as well, some really fascinating railway items highlighted in this, like the bits of rail joint tracks showing grittness and the overlooks of the quarry section from the skyline:)
Great shots and sounds .
Didn't know Settle had so much history. That's amazing Gordon. Well put together video.
Short and oh so sweet amazing place Settle weve walked around the town and area including giggleswick but didnt know about the lime kilns Gordon so thanks once again really informative video...we, ll be sure to add it to our to - do list..regards Mate Frank & Lee.....
You’ve really impressed me with your last couple of posts. Excellent work Gordon. Keep the good work up lad.
Champion to hear. Thank you.
amazing video gordon
I'm so glad this line didn't go the same way as so many lines did in the 1960s, I know it came very close
Too true. Originally they planned to only keep the line open as far as Horton-in-Ribblesdale quarry about 5 miles N of Settle!
Very good 🙂🚂🚂🚂
If you find yourself on Settle station with a loaded touring bike as I once did and need to cross the tracks. Ask the staff and they will escort you across a ground level crossing; much easier than lugging your heavy rig over that bridge.
brilliant again well done never mind youtube should be tv time for you.
Another great video , thank you
Fantastic again buddy 👏
