Text Appearing Before Image:
HELL BECK EMBANKMENT. The Beck or rivulet called Hell Beck, flows through a deep ravine, the steep sides of whichwere at one time barren and dreary, but the scenery is now extremely beautiful, having beenthickly planted with trees by the Earl of Carlisle, the noble owner of the Baronry of Gilsland,in which it is situate. The Railway Embankment at this place is about 70 feet above the bed of the stream, whichjoins the River Gelt about half a mile below this point; near the junction is the Old Quarry,on the rocks of which is the Roman inscription, mentioned in the notice of Gelt Bridge. Hell Beck Embankment is 9i miles east from Carlisle. LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY of ILLINOIS
Text Appearing After Image:
RIDLEY HALL,FROM NEAR BARDON MILLS. This view will convey some idea of the nature of the scenery, through which the railwaypasses, in its course along that part of the vale of the south Tyne extending for 7 miles west ofHaydon bridge. Ridley Hall stands on a beautifully wooded eminence, near to, and west of the junction ofthe river Allen with the Tyne. The prospect from the house is extremely fine in every direc-tion : that from the south side of the house looking upon the rocky and precipitous banks ofthe Allen, well clothed with wood, is at once grand and romantic; in short a more delightful si-tuation for a residence can scarcely be found. Ridley Hall is now the seat of John Davidson, Esq.: it takes its name from the Ridleys ofWillimoteswick, a castle now in ruins about 1; mile west of Ridley Hall, and on the same sideof the Tyne, where the celebrated Bishop Ridley was bom, about the commencement of the six-teenth century. Sir M. W. Ridley, Bait, of Blagdon, is a lineal descendant
