Wath Road Bridge
carries Wath Road over the long dismantled incline railway which was used to transport stone from the Scot Gate Ash Quarries down in to Pateley Bridge. "Scot Gate Ash Quarry was the largest quarry in Nidderdale. It was developed in the 1870s by George Metcalfe, who also owned the Pateley Bridge Brewery and Glasshouses Mill. In 1871 Metcalfe installed a 'self acting inclined railway' to bring stone down from the quarry to the Pateley Bridge railway line, 600 feet below. The railway gave Scot Gate Ash a large advantage over its competitors as big blocks of stone could be transported down in a few minutes. The quarry produced building stone and very large flagstones, sometimes 16 feet square and only 6 inches deep. These flagstones were used for docks and railway platforms all over Britain including York railway station. The stone was also used at the Natural History Museum and the National Gallery in London".
