Description
BOVEY TRACEY CHAPPLE LANE SX 87 NW
5/54 - Bridge and section of Haytor Granite Tramway crossing Bovey - Pottery Leat about 250 metres south-east of Chapple Farm II
Bridge and section of track. 1820s. Granite. Bridge has plain rubble abutments supporting a series of pieces of roughly dressed granite about 1 metre above the leat. Upon the bridge and extending at either side of it is a section of granite trackway about 6 metres long. About 3 metres to the north is a further section about 4 metres long. The north-eastern side of the trackway, nearest the road, is almost completely exposed, but most of the south-western side is covered with earth. The Granite Tramway was opened in 1820 for horse-drawn wagons carrying granite from Haytor quarries to the Stover canal, whence it was taken by barge to the port of Teignmouth.
