Description | Another view of the Catch Pit with one of the riveted girders visible keyed into the retaining wall on either side. Below it, can be seen one of the two wagons that crashed in the pit on the 28th September 1965, reported as being due to brake failure and a greasy rope! In the last 30 years or so the remains have significantly deteriorated including the pit and the wagon (see 0016). The pit has been restored by DCC in 2005. |
