Monument record MDR9530 - Siding, near Bugsworth Basin: Peak Forest Tramway, Chapel-en-le-Frith
Type and Period (1)
- RAILWAY SIDING (Post Medieval - 1540 AD to 1900 AD)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
Location of the start of the siding to Phase 3 limekilns and Clough Head Pit. It is now difficult to distinguish the exact point at which the siding joined the Peak Forest Tramway due to disturbances of the earthworks of the siding and to the lack of definition of the line of the Peak Forest Tramway.
Shortly after leaving the Peak Forest Tramway, the siding rises up to travel over the bridge (SMR 3591). (1).
