1793. Built by William Reynolds. The inclined plane connected the Shropshire Canal
with a lower canal which ran through the China Works at Coalport to the River Severn.
Consists of an incline rising from the lower canal up the hillside for a distance of
approximately 200 ft to the disused upper canal. It is the best preserved of the
7 inclined planes of Shropshire. Used for the last time in 1894. Restored in 1968
and 1975. The Rails have been restored.
At the upper end are some remains of a slipway and the brick shell of a building
(engine house?) with a chimney stack. Scheduled A.M.
