Settle Carlisle Railway Conservation Area (SCRCA) This structure has been classified as a 'fog hut' due to its appearance. However, its positoning and orientation relative to the level crossing, "Crossing Keeper's Cottage" (viz. the old Station Master's House) and nearby signals suggest that it may have been installed to provide shelter for the crossing keeper (rather than a 'fog signal man'). Old photographs show an earlier timber structure on the same site.
