TitleMiddleton Incline
Date1958
DescriptionFine view from the top of the incline towards Middleton Bottom and Bolehill. The incline rope on the rollers and the catch points are clearly visible. The signal guarding the top of the incline is probably seldom used. The notice board reads: "Staff must exercise great care when walking up or down the incline and keep a sharp lookout for movement of the wire rope. When the rope starts to move staff must stop and stand clear of approaching wagons. No one must remain within the "danger zone" notice boards in the centre of the incline whilst wagons are moving".
