Comments
I believe there was once an aerial ropeway in this general location, used to transport Dosthill Granite (Diorite) in suspended buckets from a Quarry and stone crusher near Dosthill Church to the B,ham Fazeley Canal and also across the main road (now A51 Tamworth Rd) towards the Derby/B,ham railway line, Near the site of the old Stoneware Ltd works.
