Re: The Tramways of Dartmoor
Part 2 - Zeal Tor Tramway A much earlier tramway existed close to the Red Lake Tramway. ... http://rogerfarnworth.com/2023/04/11/dar...r-tramway/ The Zeal Tor Tramway was also known as Redlake Peat Tramway. Built for Messrs. Davy and Wilkin of Totnes, 1847-1850, for carrying peat from Redlake Mire to Shipley Bridge. The tramway was constructed from wooden rails bolted to granite blocks, along which the peat was transported in horse-drawn trucks. The business only continued for a few years and ended in 1850. |
