The reason for the two levels in the tunnel was for gravity shunting of the full wagons on the higher level, before being lowered downn the incline. The next section to Chadwick Nick was also cable worked before being converted to locomotive haulage, as the gradient was relatively shallow, 1 in 53 to 1 in 30 then 1 in 22.. A loco shed still exists further along the line before VillageTunnel. Track for the line may have come second hand from the Leicester and Swannington Railway. The last rails lifted from Crich went to the Talyllyn Railway.

Ideally it should be opened up with the roughly-hewn section shored-up like a mine-adit as it was originally, then securely gated so tours could be conducted safely.

Ripley is also the home to the inventor of the bouncing bomb sir Barnes Walace. some really early Industrial revolution stuff. i love watching the history of Manchester but also great to see you delve into my local history...all the best.

I'd love to be able to say that was an excellent and interesting video, but it was actually quite beautiful. the cinematography is just superb, the research leaves nothing to be desired, and the wonderful pauses with the perfect match of music and scenery. A very pleasant evenings viewing, thank you
