Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Bovey Tracey: Haytor Tramway in Yarner Woods. Haytor Quarries on Dartmoor were opened circa 1820 and a means of transporting the granite to New Quay, Teignmouth whence it was shipped to the metropolis and used in the construction of London Bridge, now in Arizona had to be devised. An 8.5 mile tramway was constructed from granite blocks quarried at Haytor, linking the quarries with the Stover Canal at Teigngrace. Barges then conveyed the cut granite to waiting vessels at Teignmouth. The tramway gauge was about four foot and the trucks, each carrying up to 3 tons, were horse drawn. |
