Excellent pair of videos.....even if you have no interest in railways, these provide a wonderful overview of our area. Recommended!

Great video

Excellent, thanks a lot.

O.M.F.G! Not just that someone thought it was worth doing a video about, but actually doing it, in spades! I was amazed when a probe threaded it's way between Pluto and Charon, and got amazing pics. Never thought I'd see that. But this!!! 🤯 You sir... words fail me. Some of my most cherished childhood memories were spent exploring such forlorn tracts. Thank you.

Putting tracks on marsh seems crazy

[@Goldie644]

Yes - the embankments it ran on are still there, but the wooden trestle across the middle bit is long gone

[@wyrearchaeology1]

It was crazy but it wasn't marsh when the original track was built. It crossed a small bay with a defunct Georgian harbour, The cost of replacing the sinking pilings bankrupted Hesketh. The line was then built around the edge of the bay and it gradually silted up.
