WHN - Lowca sometime pre 1912


This area of Lowca had a coal mine, seen on the hill behind (covered by the waste tips) and the Lowca Engineering Works and foundry either side of a small beck, on the shore line there appears to be a small, now silted up, dock. The beach has large amounts of foundry waste.
This site had various companies who built bridges (eg at Ravenglass), iron ships (the first Iron ship launched fromCumbria - by the name of Lowca) and over 200 locomotives in total, firstly by Tulk & Ley (who built Cramptons for South Eastern Railway amongst others) who were taken over by Fletcher Jennings in 1857. (five of the latter company's products survive in the UK - including the eponymous Talyllyn at Towyn, Mid Wales - out of nine preserved, mostly narrow guage except Captain Baxter, which Standard gauge).
There was a disastrous fire in 1912 and the company, by then "The New Lowca Engineering Co Ltd", was wound up in 1927 after over a decade in a moribund state.
