Aerial ropeway, Claughton Moor

A loaded bucket is descending. The buckets have been painted pink to support Breast Cancer Now (Wear it Pink day). The ropeway carries shale about 2km from the quarry to the brickworks SD5666, and is gravity powered. See SD5764 : Claughton Moor clay pit, SD5764 : Aerial ropeway, Claughton Brickworks. & SD5666 : Aerial ropeway, Claughton Brickworks for more information. YouTube video - Link

Aerial ropeway, Claughton Moor

A pair of buckets (one loaded, one empty) pass a support tower. The buckets have been painted pink to support Breast Cancer Now (Wear it Pink day). The ropeway carries shale about 2km from the quarry SD5764 to the brickworks SD5666, and is gravity powered. See SD5764 : Claughton Moor clay pit, SD5764 : Aerial ropeway, Claughton Brickworks. & SD5666 : Aerial ropeway, Claughton Brickworks for more information.

Aerial ropeway, Claughton Moor

Looking downhill. The ropeway carries shale about 2km from the quarry SD5764 to the brickworks SD5666, and is gravity powered. The line of the ropeway is easy to see, now that the buckets have been painted pink. The rusty support towers are well camouflaged. (There is a tower to the left of the bucket in the centre of the photo.) The Lakeland Fells are in the far distance.
