Description

The Cromford and High Peak Railway in Colour A unique glimpse into one of Britain's most unusual railways is presented here. In 1831, this railway opened, linking the Cromford Canal with the Peak Forest Canal at Whaley Bridge in Derbyshire using rope-worked inclines. It survived for nearly four decades before its closure in 1967. The line featured some of England's finest scenery and was known for its steep gradients and sharp curves. John Evans' colour photographs, taken during the railway's later years, offer a fascinating view of this intriguing railway.
