Love Gerry Rafferty !!

sorry, but music a bit inapt, maybe something a bit more elegiac wold be more fitting. A shame this wonderful historic building is being allowed to fall into disrepair, soulless council again ,it is an amazing construction and well worth preserving. But I bet it will not. Seen the preservation of some wonderful mills and such-like. Why not this?

Very enjoyable - from someome who lived in Matlock for many years.

I'm thinking of biking the top cut for a video. When I was a young lad, my grandad would take me walks up there and there was still water in the cut and a swing bridge operating. There was also a wooden hut for a canal worker, and me and my grandad shared a mug of tea with him. Not far from the top of Crow Hill. The hut got burnt down but the brick fireplace and chimney remained for some years - it would be interesting to see if the bricks are still there. Alan

Loved todays adventure thank you so much!

I live in ilkeston

Going there soon .fantastic 🦭🦤📷

Just watched this video along with your Nottingham canal one. Re Magpie, you have certainly done your homework on this! Metal mining has been my enduring interest since my teens. You may know that the Magpie sough has lock gates in it. If you do a search for my "Derbyshire lead mining" (photo stream) on KZbin you will see a picture of these. Also, re the canal, we visited the Wollaton flight in the 60s, at the end of Woodyard Lane, when they lay derelict and before all the housing took their place. Got photos of the scenes. A footpath now follows their course.

Just watched your last 2 videos of the Cromford Canal. The interesting mix of drone, 360 camera and the varied format of stills make these a bit different to the usual type of video and make it worthy of a special comment. Great stuff. Know the canal very well having walked it with my father in the 60s and with my late wife during "courting days"!

Incredibly great footage and photographs. It certainly was worth an airing!

The owl doesn’t usually do movies like this. But just by way of a one off (probably) I though that this was worthy of an airing……..😀

This is quite a short journey along what I thought was going to be quite a boring branch line… how wrong could I have been 😊

Hi. Thanks for a very interesting tour. The 4 concrete posts you commented on are the ones that held the crossing gates that was one of the access points to what was Coppice colliery, where I was an apprentice fitter from 1962 to 1965. The gates where still on at this time, complete with a GNR cast iron notice on a post at the side of the road. The station was still all intact, but a bit vandalised. The house at what was the end of the line is obviously a station house, though a fair way from the station. Thanks for a great film.

Hi George, thanks for the comment. Actually, no, I don’t drink in the dewdrop it’s the wrong side of town. But my wife comes from the Junction and knows it well. She has often threatened to drag me in there. Much against my own will obviously.😂

Do you drink in the Dew Drop……you should 👍

Another cracking video Tim.

An excellent video Tim! Unfortunately these days, I get little time to watch videos much, due to work commitments (only one more year to go!). However for a change, I have some free time and I have to say, this is a very well narrated history video that I have enjoyed watching. I shall try to find time to watch the other videos in this series. I hope you are keeping well.

You are welcome. 🙂

As a resident of Derby and it’s surrounding areas, I have been a user, trainspotter and general student of the railways, I have found this series extremely interesting and particularly well made and easy to watch. The music has also added to it. Thank you very much indeed. 👍🙂

Excellent footage. 👌 Enjoyed watching you on the Drone show.

Love it 🥰

Very nice, Did you shoot that with X3 plus a drone I assume, thanks for sharing

After Family, Christmas, Covid etc... Finally here is part 04 of my walk from Nottingham to Derby along the Friar Gate Line. We (Ruby and I) hope that you enjoy it..

I have walked the Cromford Canal many times with my son over the years, thankyou for your excellent videos 👍

How about showing us the merlin engined aircraft we hear and tell us what Enya tracks you’re playing. Two gorgeous sounds from different eras

Thanks for the videos on the Cromford Canal, which my wife and I watched over recent days while we couldn't venture outside. We became supporters of the Friends of CC earlier this year.

Thanks for your videos on the Nottingham canal. I was born in Bramcote and used to frequent the disused canal at the top of our road. We also often visit Trowell Garden Centre as it's mum's local. Haven't tried walking it though.

Great one! No beeltes though! Never mind. Liked and subscribed! 😃

Enjoyed the video "Owl", just a couple of mistakes that I noticed. First you showed images of New Basford Station on Haydn Road on the GCR line instead of correct images for Basford North. Second you kept mentioning Badingdom (I think) whereas the real name is Babbington. Other than that most enjoyable.

and bit more from the West Hallam history site... "In 1940 West Hallam Dispersal Depot was built by the military off Cat and Fiddle Lane, to relieve pressure on their Chilwell depot. It eventually comprised 112 Romney sheds with nearly a million square feet of storage space and closed in 1959. The site re-opened in the 1960's as Midland Storage, later operated by TDG Pinnacle, and now (2019) by XPO Logistics."

The land for West Hallam depot was acquired during WW2 as an offshoot to Chilwell ordnance depot. More details at the National Archives and various places online... discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C303089. It reopened in the 1960's as a storage depot and has been used by the likes of Boots for road freight operations. My dad used to work there for Wests Transport shunting the Boots lorries around.

What a place. 🙂👍

I see I am not alone!

Liked your Codnor Park video but this one, I am afraid, was totally ruined by the awful inappropriate background music which clashed with your commentary. But there we go. Sorry.

think you put polo's into coke for a big fizz .

I do wonder for long the-climate sceptics can keep denying man made climate change.

Ah Supertramp my favourite all time band , oh and what flooding!

Love the music

Nah then, ay up me duck. As always some great shots and very well edited. Ay a good' un me owd 🙂👍

I lived in 'Ilson for a couple of years but never knew this was there

A wonderful insight into the lost Railways and Industry of the area. I do enjoy your wanderings!!!

Excellent Video, I had no idea that this was such a lovely and mainly rural walk, its now on my to do list. The Cromford canal and its Pinxton arm are classic examples of how transport rapidly evolved within a century. First came the pack horse, then the canals (canal mania). Then of course the railways spreading to almost every corner of the country. Each one slowly replaced the other. The 19th century was a fascinating time of change.

I do enjoy your videos and the historical content. Been subscribed for a while and eagerly await part 2! Thank you so much for your endeavours!

Love your Cockerpoo. Great video too

I must go there!
