Roseberry Ironstone Mine Incline Top

Geotag Icon Show on map

In the woodland besides Cliff Rigg quarry runs an incline which once connected the Roseberry Ironstone mine to the mainline railway.

The path of the narrow gauge railway can still be seen in the field between the two sites (link)

The remains at the incline top are a brake drum housing and a “kep” which prevented wagons ascending the incline running back down after reaching the top. (Apologies for the dark photos but there was driving rain at the time)
