    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.

    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!

    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.

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

    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

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

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

    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.

      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.

    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 :)

    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.

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