Archive Reference / Library Class No.	D6367/1/147
Title	Wirksworth Incline
Date	1932
Description	Photograph presumably taken on the same day as D6367/1/144. Interesting view with the stub end of the standard gauge line at the foot of the incline; however, it has subsequently been discovered that the incline track is still partially in situ and buried. To the left centre of the photograph is the three-foot gauge self-acting cable hauled line with passing loops, from Shaw's Pit. On the far left is another narrow gauge line from Shaw's Pit that fed the loading hopper and crusher.
