Bowness railway station

Bowness was a station which served Bowness-on-Solway, a village in Cumbria on the English side of the Solway Firth.

[5] Passenger services were finally withdrawn in 1921 and the line south of Annan over the Solway Viaduct was closed completely.

Disused, the station became the property of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923 until sold together with the viaduct.

[9] Beyond Bowness station the railway ran along an embankment and then crossed the estuary of the Solway upon an iron girder viaduct, one mile 176 yards in length.

[10] The local people's frustration at the delay in reopening the Solway Viaduct after it was damaged in 1881 is recorded in the newspapers of the day.
