Silverstripe Saw Mill
The 1923 Edition of the 25 OS map shows a more restricted tramway system than the 1901 map. Aerial photos taken in 1933 and 1948 show that the tramway consisted of narrow gauge tracks with small trolley-like flat wagons. These were probably hand-propelled down to the loading bank level and around the site between the stacks of cut timber. By 1948 the site had been re-arranged so that the tramway no longer reached the siding and the operators needed to use some other means of transport to get the wood to the railway wagons.
