Kingfield Pit (SJ 936820) was large enough to warrant a ¼-mile tramroad, Southeast to the canal at SJ 938817, where Adlington Basin was created. The tramroad was straight, up a slight incline to the canal, and wagons were hauled by a stationary steam engine on the canal bank. A trestle bridge crossed the canal to give access to the east side of the basin. A further trestle bridge crossed the GCR & NSR joint railway when it opened in 1869. Kingfield Pit is thought to have opened around 1847 and closed about 1887. In 1874 a railway connection was made north-east to the joint line at SJ 941822 and this closed in 1884.
