Lowgill
Lowgill is a hamlet by the River Lune in Cumbria, located about 7 miles north-west of Kendal and 4 miles north-east of Sedbergh. Lowgill was an agricultural hamlet within the former township of Dillicar. Lowgill became significant in the 19th century as the place where the London & North Western Railway (1848) and Ingleton Branch Line (opened 1861). The population grew in association with the building and running of the railway. There was once a school at Railway Terrace in Lowgill, which was built by railway company 1869 (closed in 1948). There was once also a Primitive Methodist chapel at the nearby hamlet of Beckfoot, built in 1872 (now converted to a residential dwelling).[1] The biggest reminder of the railway history in the area is Lowgill Viaduct, built in 1859 to carry the Ingleston Branch Line.
