This stained-glass window in Byrness, Northumberland shows workers building the nearby Catcleugh Reservoir. This was the first window in England funded by subscriptions raised by a workforce and remembers 64 people who died during its construction. Note the steam locomotive #industrialarchaeology

It's hard to imagine it now, but this area in Kendal was the head of the Lancaster Canal (now filled in at its northern end). The little building sticking out on the right was a ticket office for packet boats #industrialarchaeology #canals

The unusual lattice work on this building in Kendal is actually part of a street widening scheme ordered by the Board of Health in 1851. They were cast by local iron founder, John Winder #industrialarchaeology
