Keekle Colliers' Platform railway station was opened by the Cleator and Workington Junction Railway (C&WJR) in July 1910, closed the following January, reopened in June 1913 then closed for good on 1 October 1923. The halt was provided to enable residents of the isolated Keekle Terrace, less than 100 yds from the track, to get to and from work at the equally isolated Walkmill Colliery and coke ovens in Cumbria, England. The Platform is not shown by Jowett.The halt consisted of two wooden platforms. It was unstaffed and had no shelter or toilet, but each platform carried a lone oil lamp. Publications both official and authoritative variously refer to the halt as Keekle Colliers' Platform, Keekle Colliers Platform and Keekle Halt. The halt did not appear in public timetables. Its purpose was to bring workers to and from the remote colliery, but on at least one occasion a passenger special called to take children to and from a Sunday School outing at St Bees. Further research is needed to establish exactly when services to the halt ended, as Butt differs from Croughton et al., who state it was still being used in October 1923.

Moor Row is a village in Cumbria, North West England. It is in Egremont civil parish and lies on a minor road off the A595, south-east of Whitehaven. In 2018 it had an estimated population of 759.Moor Row is a residential community on Cumbria's coastal plain. Government records, notably in census reports, record its name as Low Keekle, Ingwell View, Moor Row Junction, Moorroe, and Scalegill. The history of Moor Row goes back to before 1762 when the area between Summerhill Mansion and Woodend with Cleator was populated with residents of the Low Moor Row and High Moor Row homesteads. The Wildridge family lived at the Low Moor Row home stead on what became known as Church St. The Wildridge daughter Elizabeth married the local gardener called Dalzell who took over his new wife's estates when the Wildridges died. The village of Moor Row was built originally to house railway workers on the newly built Whitehaven Cleator and Egremont Railway, at the junction from Whitehaven south to Egremont and East to Cleator and the Frizington iron mines. The railway opened in 1855, and the first workers cottages had been built on the east side of what became Dalzell Street by 1860. The 19th century discovery of iron ore in the vicinity brought many off comers to serve the nascent iron and steel industry in West Cumbria, from Ireland, Scotland, the Isle of Man, Italy, and England. The 'row of houses on a moor' expanded as the employers needed moreworkers to keep their businesses going. Cornish tin miners were amongst those that moved here to work the mines, whose presence is noted by the name Penzance Street. Another street, Dalzell, is named after the Dalzell family who owned parcels of land along the road from Moor Row to Woodend past Gutterby and around Frizington and Aspatria. By 1885 the Dalzells estates were being run by the trustees of the family.

Cleator is a village in the English county of Cumbria and within the boundaries of the historic county of Cumberland. Cleator is located on the edge of the Lake District, with Dent Fell on the skyline to the south east. It is included in many nature initiatives such as Alfred Wainwright's Coast to Coast Walk. Cleator is near the port town of Whitehaven and lies 1½ miles south of the town of Cleator Moor on the A5086 road. Cleator was the original village, Cleator Moor being the moor above the village. It is the site of the former Kangol hat factory. The factory buildings and shop are now closed. Cleator is located on the River Ehen, which is joined by the River Keekle at Longlands Lake. On Thursday 19 November 2009, rainfall of over 300 mm was recorded in Cumbria. The surge of water off the fells of the Lake District flowed back to the Irish Sea down the rivers of West Cumbria, including the River Derwent which caused flooding and damage at Keswick, Cockermouth and Workington. The River Ehen burst its banks at Cleator, near to the Kangol factory, flooding fields and a number of residential properties. Cleator Cricket Club, whose home is the picturesque J.D. Campbell Memorial Ground, field three teams, the 1st XI playing in the North Lancashire League. On 8 September 2013 the club achieved fame by winning the National Village Cup at Lord's Cricket Ground in London. They defeated the Gloucestershire team of Rockhampton by 1 wicket with 8 balls to spare in a tense and closely fought final.Though they had in common a history in mining, Cleator village has no connection with the township of the same name, now reportedly little more than a ghost town, formerly called Turkey Creek, at the base of the Bradshaw Mountains in central Arizona, in the Southwestern United States. That township was founded in 1864 during a gold rush, and in 1925 it was purchased by the Manx-born James P. Cleator (died 1959), who named it after himself.

The A595 is a primary route in Cumbria, in Northern England that starts in Carlisle, passes through Whitehaven and goes close to Workington, Cockermouth and Wigton. It passes Sellafield and Ravenglass before ending at the Dalton-in-Furness by-pass, in southern Cumbria, where it joins the A590 trunk road. The road is mostly single carriageway, apart from in central Carlisle, where it passes the castle as a busy dual carriageway road named Castle Way, and prior to that as Bridge Street and Church Street, where it passes close to the McVitie's or Carr's biscuit factory. The Lillyhall bypass is also dual carriageway. The road in the Whitehaven area was laid out in the 1930s and the A595 was designated a trunk route in 1946. It was detrunked in 1998, apart from an 18-mile (29 km) section between Little Clifton and Calder Bridge. This section represents the route from Sellafield to the A66. At Duddon Bridge and at Dove Ford near Grizebeck the road passes through farmyards.
