- 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 These wagonways, or wagonways, were originally
made of wood, later evolving into iron L plate tramways or what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.
