Title
Sheep Pasture Incline
Date
1958
Description
The sheeted-over hopper wagon seen in the previous photograph as it descends past the catchpit towards Cromford Goods, the ascending wagons meanwhile will be approaching Sheep Pasture Top. Note the inclined rollers to direct the rope around the catch pit, and the Pointsman's Cabin. The white material near the front of the catch pit would suggest lime or limestone from a fairly recent runaway within the last few years. The building on the left was not associated with the railway and probably housed a water pump.
