The Bridgnorth Castle-hill inclined railway | Except as to power and gradient it is an Angarrack incline

Date: 1892-07-28
Occurred
131 years ago
The Bridgnorth Castle-hill inclined railway unites the high and low towns of Bridgnorth, now joined by a flight of 200 steps and long sloping paths. The rise is one loot in a horizontal length of leet; the length of the rail 210 feet ; the vertical rise or lift  111 feet. Water is the motive power, employed as a balance or counter weight. Except as to power and gradient it is an Angarrack incline : only we would rather break from that and run in trucks to Hayle sandhills than break (and with it dislocate necks) at Bridgnorth or Lynton.
