Summary edit
| Description |
English: Wrockwardine Wood Inclined Plane, Shropshire I regret I do not have an accurate grid reference for this photograph, but it certainly is inside the gridsquare SJ 7012. It shows the site of one of the inclined planes of the Shropshire high-level canal system in this area. The planes were used to transfer tub-boats (20ft x 6ft 3ins in size) from one level to another. The tub-boats were worked in 'gangs' of four, being managed by one man and one boy. They reached the main canal system by being lowered down the Tranch inclined plane, about 1 mile westwards from here. The canal line was easily traceable until the mid-1960s, but has now completely disappeared. |
