Sheep Pasture Incline Foot
The catch-pit near the bottom of the 1 in 8 Sheep Pasture Incline on the Cromford and High Peak Railway was designed to protect Cromford Goods Yard below the bridge from runners that became detached from the rope whilst ascending or descending the incline. Tracks went either side of the entrance with catch points set to direct runaways into the pit.
