The track of Catchwell Road, Dipton
The track is on the line of the old Pontop Pike waggonway. The waggonways were laid out in this area as early as 1728. Horses were used to pull chaldron waggons along wooden rails of a usual gauge of 4 feet, transporting coal from the many pits around Pontop Pike towards staithes on the nearby rivers. A chaldron is a unit of dry measure which was 36 bushels for coal. The waggonways consisted of two tracks laid side by side, the main way and the bye way. The main way carried the full wagon down gradient, and then on the bye way, the horse pulled the empty wagon up gradient.
