The Cromford and High Peak Railway was one of the world's first, transporting minerals and goods from the Cromford Canal to the Peak Forest Canal.

The terrain and gradients it negotiated were far from straightforward. On the flat sections of the line, wagons were hauled along by horses. However, the assistance of steam power was needed once an incline was met.

The Middleton Top engine house is an impressive sight. Steam powered beam engines, in engine houses such as this, were used to pull wagons up the steep inclines using cables. At the visitor centre, you can find out more about this bygone marvel of engineering.
