Marron glacé to build a factory to produce Spanish marrons glacés using Galician raw chestnuts, which previously were exported to France to produce the confectionary. Posada used the French and Italian formula to produce the marrons glacés. Today, there are two factories that produce marrons glacés in Spain. The French refer to chestnuts as "châtaigne" or "marron". Both terms refer to the fruit of the sweet chestnut "Castanea sativa". However, "marron" tends to denote a higher quality, larger fruit that is more easily peeled. The fifth edition of the dictionary "Dictionnaire de l'Académie française. Revu, corrigé et augmenté" published in 1798 states
Marron Junction railway station as an exchange station for passengers crossing between the east-west and south-north lines. South-north trains terminated at Marron Junction station, from which passengers could travel west or east. The value of this arrangement hinged on the connections. The station attracted little custom other than railwaymen whose duties took them to Marron Junction. The station closed to regular passenger traffic in 1897. From then on the south-north trains from Rowrah continued through to Workington Main, an altogether more satisfactory service for its users. Passengers wishing to travel south to east stayed on to the next stop west of the junction -
