@joansmor@markp@happypat@busylady@kvphoto@anniesue@taffy@happysnaps Thanks for commenting folks. I should state the true story however. Honister has been a slate source since Roman times, but moving the product has always been a challenge. Several projects were attempted including tunneling through Fleetwith Pike. The final solution came in 1883 with this cable assisted railway. So, after 137 years, this is probably fair wear and tear!
They must have very demanding standards in Cumbria !!!
