Aerial ropeway at Wellhope.
Wellhope Shaft dumps, West Allen, Northumberland, England, UK
In 1925, Vieille Montagne provided an aerial cableway at Wellhope, this connected the Haggs mine to Rampgill Mill in Nenthead. This connection gave quite a few mechanical problems and later the zinc ores were transported back through the Haggs Level and the cableway fell into disrepair.
