| Description |
English: An open-air schoolroom for a geography lesson? The first railway line to serve Lesmahagow was opened in December 1866. The station was high above and well east of the town. In July 1905 a roughly parallel line was built with a station closer to the centre of the town and the earlier station was renamed Brocketsbrae. Trains ceased to call at the latter station in 1951 but it was only another 14 years before Dr Richard Beeching declared that Lesmahagow no longer deserved a railway. Part of the 1905 railway past the town was eventually converted into a woodland footpath, seen here with a series of rustic benches seemingly arranged on the hillside so that the views across the town could be explained to a maximum number of seated people simultaneously. |
