Lamb's Cottage shows on the OS map surveyed in 1845 and published in 1848 at the point where a footpath running NW to SE crosses the railway.
This tramway was part of an early scheme to bring in manure and human excrement to "improve" the Moss.
Later schemes greatly expanded this enterprise,[4] which had the intended effect of turning land from unproductive to very fertile.
This involved using Stephenson's method of floating the ballast and tracks on wood and brush.
[6] The line was completed by 1914, making a triangular junction on Lamb's Cottage's station site, obliterating what little evidence remained.
