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.
