A Slice of Settle-Carlisle History

The whole line was closed recently for some pretty major works to be done (see earlier posts) among which was repair and re-waterproofing of Marshfield Viaduct in Settle.   The water tower's water supply pipe which passes over Marshfield Viaduct was to be removed as part of the work.

Cheekily I asked if I might have a bit of the pipe.   Contractors Story said yes, sure.   Good as their word my slice of cast iron pipe arrived this afternoon - special delivery.

Making light work of a very heavy pipe are (l to r) Senior Quantity Surveyor Tom Eccleshall, Site Manager Ezra Welham and Scheme Project Manager Dan Jones.

This historic length of pipe shall have pride of place here at the water tower - subject to wifely approval, of course.
