Waggonway Research Circle

"This is a web site created to cover the Industrial Archaeolgy surrounding the development of the early British waggonway (or wagonway). These wagonways, or wagonways, were originally made of wood, later evolving into iron L plate tramways or what we today regard as a railway with iron rails. The site has a particular bias at present to the history of the World's first recorded cross-country overland waggonway, (the Wollaton Waggonway of 1604) and Huntingdon Beaumont the man who built it.
