After the inclines down to Stanhope had closed and been lifted the line terminated at Durhills Sand Quarry where the Weatherhill Incline winding house was sited. Just short of Durhills there were two passing loops and on the one furthest from the end of the line was this water column. The end of the line with the quarry buildings can be seen top left corner. (1968)
