Bath (Combe Down)
The excellent Ralph Allen Cornerstone museum in Combe Down alerted me to the existence of this former tramroad used to haul stone from quarries adjoining Summer Lane (just off the top of this picture) to the Somerset Coal Canal at Tucking Mill, near the eponymous S&D viaduct. The foreground part was horse-hauled; the steps just visible in the background were a rope-worked incline to a T-shaped junction with branches to left and right.
