Type Of SiteCOUNTER BALANCE INCLINE
Period19th Century
DescriptionA 200m long incline, that conveyed finished slates from the quarry. The incline had been constructed by c. 1900 as indicated on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey. It was served by a drum-house on Floor 5 and linked with an earlier incline operating from the Floor 6 mill.
The stone built incline plane survives, but nothing of the rails for the double track remain.
