Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
2.8 miles of track, SK 11050 67330 - SK 07680 69980, which passes through land worked by Dowlow Works, Hindlow Quarry, Brierlow Quarry and Hillhead Quarry. This entire section of track is still in active use as a mineral railway serving the quarries, and was therefore not surveyed for the Cromford & High Peak Railway project. Some sections of the track follow the line of the original Cromford & High Peak Railway line, but the majority is the re-aligned route used by the Cromford & High Peak Railway after 1892. (1)
