rogerfarnworth Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Travelling South to Ludlow in late October, I came across an example of a Canal Inclined Plane at Coalport, Shropshire. It qualifies as a railway although its primary purpose was the carrying of canal boats between the Shropshire Canal and the River Severn. .... http://rogerfarnworth.com/2020/10/21/coalport-incline-ironbridge 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerfarnworth Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 In March 2021, Tony Jervis, an on-line acquaintance, sent me some photographs from visits that he made over the years to the inclined plane at Coalport. These are shared below with his kind permission. https://rogerfarnworth.com/2021/06/10/coalport-incline-ironbridge-addendum-2021 Tony comments: "The site has been tidied up somewhat since I was first there, with more clearance of overgrowth at the summit, but has there been a landslip pushing the tracks sideways partway down? The Gorge area has been prone to landslips for years. ..... Much work has been done in recent years to landscape and stablilise the area." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
