    Alongside the main run of the High Peak Trail, near the bottom of Hopton incline, is this boiler, which used to be for the winding engine for the nearby Hopton Wood incline to Hopton Wood Quarry.

      By the 1870s Hopton Incline's winding engine had given 40 years' service and was life-expired. During that time locomotive power had improved, in 1877 Hopton incline's chains and engines were removed, after which the incline became a conventional adhesion railway; trains ascended the bank under their own power and descended using their own brakes.
