Mural, Parton
Mural, Parton Parton is a small settlement nestled on the coast between Workington and Whitehaven. It has a small station that has a regular service in both directions towards either Carlisle or Barrow. Whilst standing on the platform, I noticed this impressive mural on the rear wall of the appropriately named Station Inn. I am not sure what the steam locomotive pictured is but it's nice to see. The U-boat is a nod to the infamous attack on the village and its surrounds that took place on 15.08.1915 causing little damage despite the Germans reporting complete destruction. The reason for the attack was in an effort to destroy the nearby village of Lowca where a mine had been opened up to extract benzene and other chemicals, such as toluene (a vital ingredient of TNT) from coal.
