Sheep Pasture Incline Sheep Pasture Incline was formerly two separate inclines, the bottom incline (Cromford) has a gradient of 1:8½. This view is down the incline looking east towards the A6 bridge and Cromford Goods from near the catch pit. Note the inclined rollers for the winding rope where the track curves round the catch pit on both the up and down lines. 20th Cent
