IPSTONES C.P. Froghall CALDON CANAL Tramway terminus (that part in Ipstones C.P.) and retaining walls approximately 20 metres east of head of Caldon Canal

GV II Retaining walls to former tramway terminus. Circa 1783. Rock-faced ashlar approximately 8m high x 40m. Slightly corbelled out at coping; two buttresses to left, either side of small round-arch water channel; further round arch to centre; retaining wall ramped down on right side in a concave curve. The tramway was built to bring down limestone from Caldon Low to the canal. It was originally conceived to run the canal up to the quarry; the gradient however being so considerable must have determined that the tramway should be built.

The terminus forms a close group with Froghall Forge (q.v.), warehouse (q.v.) and canal bridge (q.v.).
