[5] Camerton Colliery and Camerton Fireclay mine and associated brickworks were served by sidings which curved northwards off the through lines a short distance east of the station.

Coal workings appear to have petered out in the 1930s, but the brickworks was a successful concern, with firebricks being a key requirement of Workington's furnaces.

From 1939 the Admiralty established RNAD Broughton Moor on the CWJR's line north east of Camerton.

A lesser-known ancillary of this was using the fireclay workings at Camerton as an ammunition store.

This appears to have petered out in the 1950s, though Broughton Moor arms depot lasted until 1992.
