Gotham Curve, Cromford and High Peak Railway
At 2.5 chains, one of the sharpest curves on BR at the time. It was the reason only four wheel wagons were allowed on the Cromford and High Peak line and you can see a check rail. A J94 going round here really got the rails screeching. This one of many colour shots of the Cromford line in my book on the Cromford and High Peak Railway to be published in 2017.
