The end of Lady's Incline
This was the railway access to Lord Pit and Lady Pit, originally a rope work incline, but locomotive hauled from about 1889. The section visible here is more or less level and would have been horse drawn rather than rope worked until that time.

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.

Towers Road (1)
Looking south from Prince's Incline. The status of the road is not clear on larger scale OS as it carries footpath right of way markings. It is however the main access to a substantial housing development to the right of the picture, and local authority mapping shows that it is in fact an adopted highway up to this point. The road started life as a colliery tramroad taking coal from local collieries to a coal yard on the main turnpike road to Stockport. It would certainly have been constructed privately which doubtless explains the uncertainty.
