For the purposes of the SCRCA Project, the term 'tramway' refers to the archaeological remains of the narrow-gauge light railways that were constructed specifically to transport materials, equipment and, to a lesser extent, people during the period when the Settle Junction to Petteril Junction section of the Settle-Carlisle Railway was being constructed (i.e. 1869 to 1876). The rails, sleepers, etc. were lifted and removed shortly after construction work ceased and all that remains of these tramways are traces of the track bed and related earthworks. In some places, the track bed and earthworks are still clearly visible on the ground and / or from the air.
SCRCA Location Variant: Archaeologal Site - Tramway
Examples
The following examples from the SCRCA Project database illustrate this location variant. Locations are only displayed here if they have been 'assessed' and if a default image is available. Show / hide tips
- The locations are grouped by 'type' (where appropriate), then sorted by Location ID.
- To view the full Location Summary for one of the sites or structures, click on the relevant location name / description.
- To view a larger version of one or more of the images in a slideshow format, click on one of the thumbnail images.
NB: The slideshow will NOT run on devices with a screen width of less than 400px, or if you attempt to open it in a new window. - To view details of ALL the locations of this type in the database (regardless of their status etc.), use the Gazetteer.
