The Midland Railway to the Colliery - A Nottinghamshire Disused Railway Walk

The Railway by the Mills with the caves to the Colliery - A Nottinghamshire Disused Railway Walk
The Midland Railway had quite a large amount of railways in Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire. Some used for mixed traffic some only for freight. One such Midland Railway was the one from Mansfield Woodhouse in Nottinghamshire off towards Pleasley Colliery.
This railway bypassed the iconic Pleasley Mills, still standing today. Over Pleasley Colliery and onto the still existant Pleasley Colliery that closed back in 1983.

Welcome to my back yard. I'm from just down the road at Shirebrook and there are so many old rail lines in the area, you've not even scratched the surface. Enjoy the explore.

Nice video Ant, love the railway walks thanks for your efforts, lovely History.

[@ffrancrogowski2192]

This is a very interesting video Ant. You've done some great drone footage of this part of the Midland. The viaduct looked a lovely construction, what a pity it was demolished. Many thanks.

Great video, I’ll have to look for all the others. Thanks.

[@simonballard6413]

Great, as always, Ant. I particularly liked that lovely three arch bridge and the caves. Thanks so much.

[@shirleylynch7529]

Fab music. Very apt with your filming. Superb first class explore. Shame viaduct not maintained . Could have been great walkway today for tourists and sightseers. But next best thing Ant is you keep it alive for all your viewers. Thank you.

[@lostpilgrimmedia_history]

Another Epic Video. Thanks 👌 😊

Hiya ant my fella used to ride the trail from the vale to Pleasley nearly everyday.. It has made his day seeing those caves again as he has been inside them.. Also if you look at the mills there is a huge chimney tower next to mill 1

[@paulharrison8152]

I used to walk this route a lot as a kid. I remember when the area was practically abandoned. My mates dad used to be a security guard at the mills.

[@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling]

It's amazing how many 100s of miles of old track beds out there. Another great hike Ant, loving the channel.

[@lindamccaughey6669]

What a great video. Those bridges were beautiful, that gorgeous brickwork. I did wonder if perhaps the gated up cave was designated for bats. Loved that. Thanks for taking me along. Please stay safe

what a lovely walk ant

[@dessingleton5519]

the Chimney was originally higher than that it was reduced some years ago to make it safe i was the boiler fitter at the mills and one of the few who have looked up the Chimney from the inside

There used to be a pillbox just near where you started, it was removed in the early 80's, also just under the field at the start is the remains of a roman villa, it was excavated in the 1920's.
