Loading point

The timber framing which supported the track lies on the ground. The steel track visible on the grass in the foreground carried the transporter buckets disconnected from the rope whilst they were being filled. The wheels to the left of the frame are a pair of support wheels.

Remains of cement rendering on the north wall of this loading area suggests that it may have been roofed in. The render has impressions of other components of the structure including a clear imprint of a door frame on the north wall which may have been an entrance door [Ruston 2000].

The embankment for the tramway from the workings can be seen upper right.

The embankment for the tramway from the workings can be seen upper right. Edwards [1991] mentions horse haulage on the tramway to here with the ore being tipped onto the loading bank and shovelled into the ropeway buckets.
