Track and inclined track bed, sheds, hauler houses and associated workshops comprising part of the Bowes Railway, one of the earliest and best preserved examples of a rope haulage system. The site is vulnerable to vandalism and heritage crime. Since 2003, several repair schemes have been undertaken, all part-funded by Historic England. These include repairs to the stone walling of the engineering shop at Springwell, completed in 2017. A condition survey of the track bed and related structures between Blackfell and Blackham Hill hauler houses has been prepared with Historic England funding.
