Industrial Tramways, The forerunners of the Railways

In this video we go looking for some Industrial tramways which were the forerunners of the railways. The Industrial tramways we are looking at are the Tramways of the Caldon Low. Situated in the Churnet valley in Staffordshire England. The Tramroads of the Caldon low were built to carry limestone to the Caldon Canal. Incline planes were used to operate the trucks and of course horsepower. Built in the late 18th century these horse drawn tramways were the pioneers that would later become the railways. Just before the Industrial revolution. Our journey starts at Froghall and we venture on our historical journey to find clues of the Industrial past. John Rennie and Benjamin Outram were the engineers involved in building these victorian engineering masterpieces. We also look at Trubshaws tunnel from 1847 on the tramroad.
