Whitey Rock, the "twin towers and the route of the railway are below the cliffs, with Bransty, now part of Whitehaven, some more of which is visible to the right. The large shed is probably on the site of one of Whitehaven's former coal mines.

Another of the local landmarks. The Cumbrian Coast Railway runs along a shelf a little way above the base of he cliffs here, the actual alignment is behind Whitey Rock.

Looking across at Bransty, Whitey Rock and some industrial features, as we cruise past, heading towards Workington on a slightly longer proving cruise.

This conspicuous feature on the shoreline, underneath Bransty, is "whitey rock" ... This slag bank is almost the only feature remaining to mark the location of the Lonsdale Haematite Ironworks, which ceased production at the very start of the twentieth century, just after Whitehaven's shipyards had closed, greatly reducing demand.
