Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Dowie Close Looking up to Cromford Road.
Modern housing development below Crich Church. Planning regulations have required these houses to use local stone to retain the visual qualities of the area. The road takes its name from one of the steam locomotives which ran on the railway up to Crich Quarry. The line of the railway is still visible to the rear of the houses on the right. There aren't many roads which are named after locomotives at all, but mainly they will be famous main line ones. I wonder if there are any others which are named after locomotives as mundane as this pair of narrow-gauge industrial ones? Dowie was the nickname of the wife of the general manager of the Clay Cross Company (which owned the quarry) at the time the locomotive was purchased. |
