Title
Sheep Pasture Incline
Date
20th Cent
Description
Two ascending empty minerals en route for Sheep Pasture Top. The wagons are on the upper part of the two combined inclines where the gradient is 1:8¼, compared with the slightly less steep Cromford section at 1:8½. The gradient post however shows an approximation of the gradients as 1:8 for the Sheep Pasture section, and 1:9 for the Cromford section. The two inclines were combined in 1857
