CUMBRIA. Welders at work on the Brampton pipeline.
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 the industrious spirit of welders hard at work on the Brampton pipeline in Cumbria. Taken in 1975, this image showcases the dedication and expertise required to construct such a vital piece of infrastructure. The Brampton gas pipeline, laid by Laing Pipelines, played a crucial role in transporting natural gas from the North Sea to Scotland. This particular section formed part of the Frigg pipeline, which supplied much-needed energy resources to Peterhead. The headquarters for this ambitious project were situated near Brampton, utilizing an old quarry as their base of operations. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness skilled workers meticulously welding sections together with precision and care. Their commitment to ensuring a secure and reliable gas supply is evident as they navigate through challenging terrain and overcome engineering obstacles. Beyond its technical significance, this photograph also highlights the human element behind large-scale civil engineering projects. It reminds us that progress is achieved through collaborative efforts and dedicated individuals who bring their expertise together for a common goal. Preserved within Historic England's archive collection, this print offers us a glimpse into our past while celebrating both the beauty and functionality of these remarkable feats of engineering.
