Looking west along Smithson's Tramroad, Wakefield
Or at least the route of it. Smithson's Tramroad brought coal down from Low Laithes to Thornes Wharf, just ahead on the River Calder. The horse-drawn railway opened in 1798 and had L section rails on stone sleepers. It was still operating in 1850, but by the late 1880s mining had ceased at the old Low Laithes sites. A stub of the tramroad still operated in the late 1880s, from a quarry near Denby Dale Road to sidings below the Kirkgate railway line. By 1904-07 even this stub had gone. This section [from Waldorf Way to New Brunswick Street] is now a public footpath.
