Historical Summary

Summary of Surviving Remains: The tramway was narrow gauge, approximately 1m wide and its course is defined by a series of slight embankments and cutting. Close to Broadley Stone Sidings and Bagden quarry two well defined sections of embankment survive. Approaching the quarry the tramway ran on a high embankment. This held back water and was breached in the 1980s for safety reasons. Close to the quarry are the ruins of a probable locomotive shed, with an inspection pit.
