Monument record 2522/1/3 - Cutting west of Tarn Hows, Winsford and Over Railway
Please read our guidance about the use of Cheshire Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Cutting west of Tarn Hows, presumably built for the Winsford and Over Railway. A railway cutting is an artificial "valley" dug through hills to allow the railways to be laid level.
The Winsford and Over Railway, opened in 1870 and was later taken over by the Cheshire Lines Committee. It had closed by 1930 and all the track was then removed. The only trace are the embankments, cuttings and footpath along the original route.
