ironstone quarrying near Scaldwell was in the northern pit close to Lamport village. Diesel and electric quarrying machines were used and it was served by the standard-gauge tramway. It closed in 1963. The narrow-gauge tramways used steam locomotives throughout the time they operated. The Peckett locomotive Scaldwell was purchased by the Narrow Gauge Railway Society when the tramway closed and moved to the Brockham Railway Museum for preservation.
