Description
The photograph is presumably taken on a visit to the CHPR by a railway society, looking up Sheep Pasture (Cromford) Incline from Cromford Bottom by the side of the workshops and the water tank. The person in the centre, taking the photograph is standing above the return wheel pit. The ropes on both ascending and descending lines can be seen disappearing below the track level to the return wheel. The A6 bridge is clearly shown with a supporting girder on the east side and a gently curved arch on the west side.
