Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Old tramway depot This extensive building housed the modest fleet of three cable cars which operated a route of just over half-a-mile up Matlock Bank, with a steepest gradient of I in 5½. The cars operated by gripping a continuous cable, in the same manner as the famous San Francisco cable cars. They ran from 1893 to 1927. As well as the trams, the buildings housed a workshop, a steam winding engine, boiler house and offices. The odd structure rising from the roof is the base of the chimney for the boilers.
