Below
are pictures of the Little Eaton Gangway in Denby constructed
by Benjamin Outram and opened in 1795. This 5 mile long track was
built around the same time as the Caerleon Tramroad to carry coal
to the Derby Canal at Little Eaton. The photos are from Some
Chapters in the History of Denby by Mark Fryar published
in 1934. They were taken just before the line closed in 1908. Until
we unearth pictures of the Caerleon Tramroad these photos are probably
the finest images we could have to help us visualise what it looked
like. Many thanks to Richard Porter for his assistance with this
page. |
