Background
History
The station opened on 1 June 1869, with sidings and a goods shed. A long siding once served the iron works blast furnace of Backbarrow. Until 1935, gunpowder from Low Wood was brought to the main line by a horse-worked narrow gauge tramway. Passenger trains continued to pass through the station in summer only until 1965.
Description
The station has a main building which houses a booking hall and waiting room. There is also a toilet block and plenty of outside seating. It has a footbridge and a second platform, however these are not currently in use. Haverthwaite also is the location of the railway's engine sheds and workshops.
