A bound set of coloured land plans with details of land owners for the London and North Western Railway and Furness Railway Cleator Lines, extending from Mirehouse Junction to Marron Junction and from Moor Row to Sellafield and branches, 1881. Henry Fowler surveyor. Formerly the Whitehaven, Cleator and Egremont Railway, amalgamated with the LNWR and FR in 1877.

The Whitehaven, Cleator and Egremont Railway was a railway built in Cumbria to transport hematite iron ore to steel works on the Cumbrian coast. The railway was amalgamated as a joint line with the LNWR and Furness Railway in 1877. These drawings were prepared a few years after the amalgamation with a record of land ownership along the route of the railway.
