    Does anyone have any further information of the titled tramway, other than that which is contained within Chris Pownall's book "Dane Mills Bosley"?

    There are a selection of pictures from this on CVR website, it was a 2ft6 NG linking the Canal at Bosley Locks with one of the mills. Opened in 1887 it closed in 1925, and had a steam locomotive named MAGNET which was to be replaced by MAGNET II at some point in time.

    Any information greatly appreciated.

    The September 2012 issue of Railway Bylines seems to have had some info, do you have a copy?

    Incredibly, never heard of it before! Magnet II looks like a Roundhouse Katie

    No would be the simple answer.

    Trying to work out, did the line cross beneath the NSR's Churnet Valley Line or run alongside it. Any help greatly appreciated.
