Title | Wirksworth-Old Lane |
Date | 20th Cent |
Description | The Midland Railway Wirksworth Incline bridge across Old Lane, now within the curtilage of the National Stone Centre. The incline was built with a gradient of 1:5, with the intention of connecting with the CHPR. The scheme was never completed despite track being laid. Interestingly, in the background just visible above the formation are the now demolished houses at the Coal Hills hamlet. |
