The immense industrial inclines of the Shropshire hills.

Another cracking video and explore. Another place to put on my ever growing list of places to visit in the near future. Well done for embracing the cold to show us this amazing area.

[@LeiceExplore]

Thank you Chris. I’ll tell ya summat mate, some proper thigh burning for you round there on your bike mate! Fantastic hills.

[@angelsone-five7912]

Excellent video, credit to all. Love the enthusiasm of you chaps.

[@LeiceExplore]

Thank you very much. We just absolutely love it. If I didn’t make videos, I’d still go out and look for stuff

[@PurpleVision23]

Really really enjoyed this one boss man. Epic 😊

[@LeiceExplore]

Thank you very much Purple! It’s much appreciated.

[@danw8968]

Great Video Steve, impressive to get so many of you there when it’s absolutely Baltic! As always with these places you find it’s a visual overload with so much to look at and work out!

[@LeiceExplore]

Cheers mate, I highly recommend a visit to this area. It was very cold, but, we soon warmed up!

[@grahamgetsabout2672]

What a great place Steve, 👏👏👏👏 can Adam tell me and Wendy about the bottles.🤔

[@LeiceExplore]

Thanks Graham. We had our wrists slapped by the law buddy!

[@grahamgetsabout2672]

@ Blimey Steve, I did wonder because I’ve dug a few up. Mind I had to stop because we had crates of bottles. Thanks mate 👏👏👏👏👍

[@AnthonyCarter-g2o]

Fascinating vlog.l didn’t envy you one bit in those temperatures 🥶

[@LeiceExplore]

Thank you buddy! Yes it was bloody freezing when we got there! But after a bit of marching about, we soon warmed up! Thanks for watching mate

[@GraydonOhalloran-b9r]

[@SimonPerry-cz4ke]

Brilliant well done Lads

[@LeiceExplore]

Thank you very much Simon

[@papy501]

What a brilliant video Steve, I love inclines and to see so many in one place is fantastic. It’s not as good our Swanington incline though ha ha.

[@LeiceExplore]

Thank you very much. Yeah we love our Swannington incline. Amazing local Leicestershire history right there.

[@almaxx9680]

Great place, love it👍😎

[@LeiceExplore]

Thank you mate. An absolutely stunning area, that I will go back to, probably this year.

[@almaxx9680]

@LeiceExplore Cheers Steve iv done a bit of hill walking over that way near to church stretton, beautiful.👍

[@firemon2217]

What a landscape, absolutely stunning although much altered of course. It's other-worldly... Can you imagine working up there in all weather's, a hard life. For me, my favourite was the steel bridge, still there incorporated into the farmyard. Thanks Steve and lads. Nailed it once again

[@LeiceExplore]

Brilliant that bridge Lord Isthorpe. They could have easily got rid of it, but thankfully didn’t. We need a Time Machine lol

[@patlilburn5251]

That was pretty wild. Love that you guys are all out looking around, having a day. The map and historical photo overlays you did here were just great - really allows your imagination to fill a lot of things in. I wonder what one of those trucks weighed fully loaded? It would pick up a lot of speed if it got away on grades like those. I also didn’t quite grasp the whole placing of the hoist engines, the question of what pulled those heavy things up and down. As for the big loading station at the top - wow! I agree that concrete doesn’t look as “historical” as stone, but then look at the marks in the concrete from the shiplap used to build the forms it was poured into. Just building the forms for all that concrete would have been a lot of work - not much re-using back then, not much prefab forms available.

[@LeiceExplore]

Thank you very much. We love what we do, and I love to know that yourself, and everyone else is also enjoying the ride. Yeah those concrete structures with the backdrop of the views are stunning to say the least. But yes, I do prefer older constructed stuff it has to be said. But, as you touch on, skill would have gone into building the form work for the pouring of the concrete.

[@eddiek0507]

Another Great One Steve, A frosty day for it, that retaining wall took some building I bet, It's a good height...🤔👍🏻

[@LeiceExplore]

Thank you very much Eddie. Yeah, it’s a good old size, right next to that brook to. I love owt like that

[@angussms]

Used to visit the electricity meter for the modern Clee Hill quarry

[@LeiceExplore]

Cheers buddy! Very random, love it!

[@HikingDave79]

A great adventure, loved it. A great place to visit 🙂

[@LeiceExplore]

Thank you very much our Dave!

[@PendaMercia655]

30 mins on x-trainer smashed, great video and not aToucan in sight!

[@LeiceExplore]

Thank you very much Lord Beers! No Toucans whatsoever were harmed in the making of this video haha

[@Lewis-kf2pj]

Just left a reply having a good old rant about a plant hire company named after a place in this video… Sorry, the old noggin just got the better of me! :) :) Cracking video as ever mate, really interesting place you found here (as always really). Nice to see Decidedly Delighted Dave back on the beat too :)

[@LeiceExplore]

Thank you very much. I haven’t actually seen your rant lol

[@simonmcowan6874]

The Titterstone Clee hill has a cap of hard-wearing black Basalt, quarried there and taken down the inclines to cover many roads and station yards with cobblestones. Not far from there, was a pub called "the Krem" short for the Kremlin, local lore has it that if the earth was flat, Titterstone hill was so high, that there was nothing in the way all the way to Moscow, with a powerful telescope you should be able to see the Kremlin. Did you notice the early warning radomes, those golf ball things on the top of the hill, they can 'see' for miles.

[@LeiceExplore]

Cheers buddy! Yes, I read about that pub online. It wouldn’t surprise me either with the Hewitt of that hill lol! Incredible scenery.

[@shovelhead.6266]

Brilliant one to start the year Steve, really enjoyed it. Unbelievable amount of lines there must have been up there,great find that cable on the incline, we were very industrious back in the day thou knows! Take care.

[@LeiceExplore]

Cheers buddy! I know mate, brilliant, so much going on. I’d have loved to have seen the inclines working. It would’ve been an incredible site.

[@wideyxyz2271]

Dhu is Gaelic for Black. So Black stone quarry. I posted this before you mentioned it lol.

[@LeiceExplore]

lol, no worries. I do sometimes research things lol
