Delph Donkey (Uppermill) Traditional Cache

The proprietor of a second-hand bookshop in Uppermill told me a tragic story about the nearby viaduct. There used to be a train station at the end of the viaduct and one night in fog a train halted on the viaduct waiting to enter the station. A passenger, believing the train had arrived at the station, stepped off the train and fell over the side of the viaduct. If you look at black and white photographs of the viaduct from a certain period you will see that there is a railing along the top of the viaduct which was put in place after the incident. With the removal of the station the rail was removed.
