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.

This channel is just so good. It's a bit like a grass roots "Time Team". Well, Time Team up through season 18. I love how there is the perfect amount of content in each video and none of it unnecessary fluff. Great research, great videography and both are put together with excellent presentation. From what this American boy has seen, you're right up there with Fred Dibnah, Dr. Lucy Worsley and Tony Robinson in the presentation department.

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. Surely that's the best way to preserve them instead of leaving those tunnels blocked off or buried with maybe just a plaque or markings on an old map to tell us where they once existed!

Of all the videos I have seen, finding that one in someone's back garden must be the best find ever. The tunnel itself looks in particularly good condition. Have you been able to research where the other portal is? That would be a cracking find, and one to explore in the future. I know that I am late to this party, but I am slowly working my way through your back catalogue. Excellent stuff.

I can even remember wagons going up the Sheep Pasture incline as if by magic with no engine pulling them when we went for a picnic by the line in about 1965

That shot at 19:42 as you look into that tunnel and the focus slowly pulls to reveal the inside is one of the greatest I've ever seen! The remnants of the track bed/sleepers and disrepair; something so fascinating about it. To think of Stephenson himself could've stood at that portal looking in on a job well done when construction was finished. Amazing video.

My god, the atmosphere in that tunnel. This is the start of the second industrial revolution and modern world we live in - the importance of this tunnel and the other, and every stone here is incalculable!! This is how the UK values its heritage that is as important as ancient Rome. It really is emotional looking in this tunnel and the importance is hard to overstate - to the country not just to us watching!

Nice to see you in my neck of the woods..... part of the Butterley company which made some of the most iconic land marks in the UK ie the st Pancreas roof, the Falkirk wheel and Spinnacre tower in Portsmouth shut down in the late 1990s early 2000's which had been going since 1790. the former works has the Cromford canal which you talk of in your video is tunnelled under Ripley and has a loading bay underground in the tunnel. it has been shut for years but would love to explore it one day. 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.
