Wagon for Longcliffe Quarries
An interesting photo of a brand new Private Owner wagon built by
Hall Lewis & Co Ltd of Cardiff, for George Lovegrove & Co,
suppliers of limestone & tarred limestone macadam for
roadmaking. The wagon is number 215, a five plank Railway
Clearing House 12 ton 5 plank 1923 standard design on a steel
underframe. It carries the name of Longcliffe, which was the name
of the company's quarry adjacent to the famous LNWR Cromford & High
Peak Railway, and also Wirksworth, the station at the end of the
former Midland Railway Wirksworth branch.
Hoe Grange Quarry, belonging to George Lovegrove, (Longcliffe Limestone Co), lies 16 chains (0.3 kms) North-West of Longcliffe village (itself 1 mile North of Brassington). Here lay a short sidings North of the main Cromford and High Peak Line. It is thought the sidings were removed in 1942.
Longcliffe village lies right on the North Western edge of the Wirksworth Area, and is part of Brassington Parish.
