Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway Company, 8% loan, bond for £50, 18[74], no.2, ornate border, company logo at top, red, with coupons (detached), strike through cancelled faintly on face, very fine.

Incorporated in 1873 the light railway opened in 1876 to passengers, continuing until 1908 when the line was closed. A conversion to 15 inch gauge by Bassett-Lowke and Proctor-Mitchell in 1915 saw the line open again, and it remains a tourist attraction today.
