Skipton: Old route of the Haw Bank Tramway
This tramway was used to convey stone from the Haw Bank Quarry to the top of chutes down which it could be lowered onto boats on the Springs Bank Canal for onward transport. The tramway was removed many years ago and now all stone leaves the quarry by road transport.
