The inclined tramway that took stone from Pool Bank quarries to the Leeds-Otley railway at Pool station ran in this cutting, as far as I can make out from comparing old and present day maps. A full history of the quarries, including the cable-operated tramway, can be found at https://www.poolinwharfedalehistory.co.uk/6-pool-bank-quarries/
