Sheep Pasture Incline Foot
The inside of the catch pit at the bottom of Sheep Pasture Incline in March 2015, showing the remains of a wagon that demonstrates the value of the system. The catch pit was installed in 1888 after two loaded wagons ran away almost from the top and were travelling at such speed they jumped the Cromford Canal and Midland Railway just beyond. This particular wagon was safely arrested after its unrestrained journey down the bank in 1946. see Image 50904
