 There were many accidents during the life of the tramroad, many involving the inclined planes with wagons running away.As was common on early ‘railway’ systems, the wagons could be privately owned by the hauliers themselves (known locally as halers) who paid the company a toll to use the tramroad.The last haler to work the tramroad, John Procter, walked the 10-mile return journey twice a day for 32 years.
