I understand from a friend that the ropeway in use at Claughton Manor Brickworks is to be replaced with a new, higher capacity one. I trust that I am correct in my assumption that this is the last 'classic' ropeway in use in this country. Is anyone planning to try and obtain any items for preservation or to rescue soon to be obsolete paperwork, manuals etc from the owners? Does anyone know what the firms attitude is to prospective visitors and does anyone have a contact name there.
