Description
The Remote Incline Drumhouse is a late 19th century or early 20th century structure used for counter-balancing incline operations. It is built from slate and features thick supporting gable walls that hold the original twin drums and coiled cable. The roof is shallow-pitched and partly collapsed, while the southeast gable is heavily buttressed. To the left of the building, the brake mechanism is still visible, positioned in front of a slate revetment wall. This drumhouse is noted for being an exceptionally rare example of an intact counter-balance incline drumhouse. At the time of inspection in June 1995, it was in poor condition.
