HIK Incline Buildings from above.

From left to right are the (roofed) compressor shed (ex-boiler house), the (roofless) incline motor and control house, and then the drumhouse. The landing for this incline was so short that the winding ropes were taken backwards from the drums above the DE floor tramways, round a set of sheaves and then back under the drums again to the crimp!
