Preston (Old Tram Bridge)
On the Preston side of the old tram bridge over the River Ribble there was a rope worked incline. The winding engine building was just in front of the white Italianate style house but was demolished in 1869, five years after the tramroad closed. This view, with the (presently closed) bridge immediately behind, shows a path in Avenham Park that generally follows the route of the incline. At the top the tramroad continued through the town to the canal basin just to the north of the present Preston station.
