Lady's Incline
The course of the railway to Lord and Lady Pits. The brickwork indicates the location of the wheel pit at the top of the rope-worked incline. This was a self-acting incline, with the weight of loaded trucks running down the incline hauling up returning empties. It was converted to locomotive operation in 1889.

Prince's Incline (1)
This was significantly the longer of the two main inclines on the Poynton Collieries railway system. Originally rope-worked, it was converted to locomotive haulage in 1889. Although worked by the colliery company, it was originally built by the Manchester and Birmingham Railway (one of the constituent companies of the London and North Western Railway, and still part of the main route from Manchester to London) and remains the only part of that Company's network to have closed.
