NY9444 : Above Boltslaw Incline

taken 4 years ago, near to Rookhope, County Durham, England

Above Boltslaw Incline
Above Boltslaw Incline
Boltslaw Incline climbs steeply for some 160m above Rookhope to a point where wagons could descend by gravity towards the east. Apart from the trackbed, there's not a lot left of the infrastructure that would once have been a part of the operation and, despite the interpretive signs scattered about, it seems to be a little-frequented location.
