Route of the Dimsdale branch, Ticknall tramway
Route of the Dimsdale branch, Ticknall tramway
Most of the branch is a permissive footpath, but this bit has been abandoned, to make the crossing of Heath Lane less dangerous. The horse-drawn Ticknall tramway opened in 1802, to carry lime and other minerals from kilns in Ticknall to Willesley basin on the Ashby Canal. It officially closed in 1915. This branch to Dimminsdale opened in 1830 and closed in 1891.
