Earl Fitzwilliam's private railway
text:
Earl Fitzwilliam's private railway near Rotherham, South Yorkshire, was constructed in order to link the Earl's coal interests to the southeast of his Wentworth estate with the Greasbrough Canal, also owned by his estate, which gave an outlet to the River Dun (Don) Navigation. The Marquess of Rockungham held the coal pits at the same time; this wasn't their first attempt to connect them to the canal; in the middle years of the 18th century, a wagonway had been constructed to connect the Bassingt
