TitleSheep Pasture Incline
Date1964
DescriptionBelow Bauston Tor, the participants walk down the incline towards Sheep Pasture Bottom for the last leg of the journey over the CHPR. The very noticeable curve on the incline necessitating inclined rollers to keep the rope on the track alignment is the result of the combining of the two original inclines. The former Cromford and the Sheep Pasture inclines were originally straight but offset and connected by a short level section of track. To the left of the track are a number of rollers that have no doubt been replaced whilst on the far right is the cable between the two indicators at the bottom of the incline and the engine house.
