Description

On the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan only part of the line of this wagonway, from the Team Colliery line to Farnacres Colliery seems to have track down, although it would appear from othe rmap evidence that the line originally went at least as far as Cowheel, which may well have been its northern terminus.
