The name was given when this was a railway line between Delph and Uppermills, the line was opened in 1851 and some of the early services were provided by horse drawn waggons until the steam engines arrived and with that the locals nicknamed the line The Delph Donkey, the name has stuck. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1164483
