For the purposes of this list, a ‘ropeway’ is considered to be a point-to-point overhead transport system operating over a significant distance (as in Tom Scott’s video of a working ropeway in north-west England). Consequently this list does not include chain (rope) inclines or Blondins used within quarries.
This list should not be considered exhaustive. Submissions of new information, corrections or technical queries should be made to Dave Linton, dave.linton@hendrecoed.org.uk, telephone 01341 280901
