Aerial ropeway with a difference on
www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~mccamley/main-east.htm at Monckton Farleigh mine
which was used as a munitions dump. Download takes about 5 minutes for a
50second video of working system.There also used to be an aerial ropeway in
north Kent at Bowaters Papermill Kemsley Sittingbourne, it ran about 3
miles to the docks at Ridham and was used for carrying pulp and pulpwood.I
think it went out of use in the 70s but as far as I can remember is still
in situ. It should be visible from the A249 at Kingsferry bridge onto the
Isle of Sheppey. Pete
