The Midland Railway Vs The Cromford Canal - Both consigned to History

[@dafdaffer1]

did you see the old barge just before Hartshay?, also when you was stood in the canal there is another path which climbs up and you will find another bridge to the railway that has recenley been uncovered and is being restored, i only discovered this myself a few months ago on a cycle ride. great video as always.

The amount of work to create this infrastructure is unbelievable. 👍👍🇨🇦

[@raywood569]

Very much enjoyed the video this week. All that old infrastructure crossing over each other, breathtaking. That double arched bridge appearing out of the woods was a real treat. Looking forward to the next trekking adventure.

Brilliant video again Ant! Look forward to the next. 👍🙂

Thanks very much Ian 🤠

[@malcolmrichardson3881]

Fascinating video of what must once have been a hub of industrial activity - as shown on those marvellous old photographs. Some sections of the canal look worthy of restoration, not least those beautifully constructed bridges. Thank you for another very enjoyable video!

[@simonballard6413]

Yet another superbly interesting video, Ant! I'm so glad that so much of the canal is still in water and really looking forward to the railway one!

[@stuartwatson5033]

Yet again another great video Ant, such a shame we have lost all of this to History. Our railway network really was magnificent and vast.

Lovely video Ant, thank you. I'm beginning to think you have shares in the Excavator pub😉

[@adebat13]

Just off trackbed from Excavator pub was an arch bridge that crossed the old a610 route,I remember that in the local news being demolished,think it was 70s

[@dennismay1023]

Cracking video Ant. I've driven down the A610 countless times without realising all that industrial heritage was there.

[@TrekkingExploration]

There was more than I expected to see. Thanks for watching 😊

I heard there's a nice pub round those parts, The Exclamator or something like that, delicious food and selection of real ales etc... 😉👍

[@secretsquirrel6124]

Well I've lived in Ripley for 20 years and never realised you could walk the route of the Cromford canal, must get my walking boots on😊

[@mandychew9611]

I do like your videos. Don't stop doing them.......Ever 😁

[@TrekkingExploration]

I'll absolutely try my best 🧡

[@joan4906]

Nice video! It must take ages finding the atmospheric old photos. Pleased to see that you have got your razor working again. Got to maintain standards you know. Ciao.

Ok now I've lost how many times you mentioned the "Excavator Pub"!!! lol @12:58 I reckon that is a base for a what could used to be a Signal Box!!! 😉🙂🚂🚂🚂
