Martin Mill

The remaining structure was demolished in the 1960s. History The original Martin Mill railway was constructed and operated by Pearson & Son in 1897 for the construction of the Admiralty harbour. The line was laid to standard gauge from Martin Mill station and needed very little earth works until it reached the cliffs where terraces with a gradient of about 1 in 25 were cut into the cliff face to form a switch back path down to the harbour. The line was in use until completion of the harbour and eventually dismantled in 1937 a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
