Summary
| Description |
The controller cabin on the Monkcastle fireclay mine railway incline, Dalry, Ayrshire, Scotland. This was once a shelter for brick works employees who had to walk up the narrow-guage railway tracks to get to the main road where they could catch a bus. The current access road and bridge are more recent additions, as formerly vehicular access to the works was by a road which connected to the area near the railway station, almost a mile to the north. The building is open on the southerly side, and originally had windows on the others, which have been bricked in. There is no need for a control cabin, as the railway was a gravity system, with the small cars connected to a cable, which allowed the weight of the loaded cars to return the empty ones back up to the mine. |
