Description
Bottom of the incline plane and doorway house to the tar Tunnel at the north bank of the River Severn in the Ironbridge Gorge at Coalport, England. Miners struck a gushing spring of natural bitumen, a black treacle-like substance, when digging a canal tunnel for the Coalport Canal in 1787. The Hay Inclined Plane is a canal inclined plane with a height of 207 feet (63 m). It linked the industrial area of Blists Hill with the River Severn. The inclined plane was in operation from 1792 to 1894
