I've had an enquiry at Killhope lead mining museum about aerial tramways, and I wonder if anyone on the list can help. Martin Wells wrote: "I am writing a mining history on the aerial tramways in North America. Some were built by two English concerns - Ropeways and Breco. I have a few files on the UK installations: coal mines in Devon and Wales. Some iron mines in mid-England and a large Bleichert tram at Billingham ICI works. Do you know of any more in England. Was there any in Keswick? England supplied many to the world, including a 40 mile one in Columbia and parts for an 80 mile one in Gabon. Breco built a large installation in BC too, though US makers predominated". Can anyone supply more information? Ian
