CUMBRIA. A view along the route of the Brampton pipeline, showing the pipe at a 45 degree angle in the foreground, where it meets a slope.
In 1975, Laing Pipelines laid the Brampton gas pipeline between Longtown near Carlisle to the east of Bishop Auckland. The pipeline is a section of the Frigg pipeline carrying natural gas from the North Sea to near Peterhead in Scotland. The headquarters for the Laing contract was located at an old quarry near Brampton

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique perspective of the Brampton pipeline in Cumbria. In the foreground, we see the pipe at a striking 45-degree angle as it meets a slope, creating an intriguing visual contrast. The image takes us back to 1975 when Laing Pipelines undertook the ambitious task of laying this gas pipeline between Longtown near Carlisle and Bishop Auckland. The Brampton pipeline is actually part of the larger Frigg pipeline system that transported natural gas from the North Sea to Peterhead in Scotland. This vital infrastructure played a significant role in ensuring a steady supply of gas for both domestic and industrial purposes. The headquarters for this monumental project were situated at an old quarry near Brampton, serving as a hub for engineering excellence and coordination. The expertise and dedication required to execute such an undertaking are truly commendable. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of the importance of civil engineering in shaping our modern world. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our ability to overcome geographical obstacles through innovative solutions. Historic England Archive has once again provided us with an invaluable glimpse into our past, allowing us to appreciate not only the physical structures but also the stories behind them. Let this image transport you back in time, inviting you to marvel at how far we have come on our journey towards progress and development.
