- In 1811 the town of Jacksdale in Nottinghamshire was simply, a farm.
But then came the industry, and the railways, and the people.
By the end of the 1800s, Jacksdale was a Mecca of industry with multiple collieries, ironworks, railways, tramways, and canal wharfs.
Now, in 2024, the industry is all but gone.
I am joined by Phil as we take a walk from the site of the former Pyehill Colliery, down to the active Erewash valley railway lines where we explore the remains of the former Great Northern Railway, that once ran parallel.
We search for a former tramway that went under the railway and into an Ironworks.
There are an incredible amount of remains hiding in the woodland.
We then walk round following the now removed embankment of the Great Northern into the centre of Jacksdale where we find the old Portland canal Wharf and Portland tramway. The tramway once brought coal from the Portland collieries just outside Jacksdale to the Cromford canal.
After a quick search for the remains of an aqueduct, we walk along the Cromford canal until we reach the remains of another Great Northern Railway line that came out of the former Codnor Park Works, to join the original Great Northern line we had followed into Jacksdale.
There are plenty of remains of the industry that quite literally put this small Nottinghamshire village, on the map.

It's amazing with the many canals, viaducts, tram lines and rail lines and how they developed over time to service the local industries. And then how they have made most of it all disappear with new development or farmland..
So much work just vanished, I know.
Amazing.... Thank you for filming and keeping these amazing places and train lines alive 🚂
Thank you!
Hayup Gareth impressed by the cromford canal an the old wharf, if only we could turn back time!
Brilliant film this loads going on, those early co.op,s had them Vienna fingers an some folks just cant get enough, of em.
If they spin that thing up at the place with holes in there cheese, Phil,s return cruise journey maybe by way of paddle steamer! an him being a man of culture that'd probably go down well.
so much rain daaawnn saaafff door grew bigger spent two hours sawing an sanding, then said to the dog let's go outside, is it spring yet? Hard to call with plenty of crazy skies.
Cheers an have a great weekend and beyond!
Just found your fascinating video. I live at Codnor Park and often go jogging along the Canal passing the " We hate Derby" graffiti. Thought about changing it to "Forest" ! If you go across the canal at this point and follow the footpath (which is an old railway line) towards Codnor Park you go past an interesting area where they used to dump the slag waste (a lot of which is still there) from the old Codnor Park ironworks. I wish I could have been in this area when all the industry and railways were working. The noise and smell must have been totally amazing ! Up the Rams !
Great Video
We’ve been down the Canal here and down The wharf, I even put a video up about the Grey Topper a few months ago.
Jacksdale is proud of its Heritage, you only need to look at their Community Hall and the work finding and restoring the war memorial to see that.
Looking forward to your next venture as I’m working my way through the back list 👍
I lived in the last house on York Avenue Nr. 45 and I worked at Jacksdale pit (Pye Hill Nr.2) as an apprentice electrician from 1976 till it closed.....Happy Days !!
this was ridiculously good had me proper tuned in ,
cheers from Glasgow with love
Thank you!
@@IckeWalks your very welcome
Good walk again, thank you...
Cheers!
Gareth, Phil,
“As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” Proverbs 27:17
“Ain’t it just” a great walk (charming colloquialism). TX
Interesting walk Gareth/Phil; so much history around there.
Pity you didn't seem to look into the Portsmouth link and HMS Warrior though? HMS Warrior was Britain's first ironclad warship and the deck beams were manufactured by the Butterley Company at the Codnor Park Ironworks. If you visit Warrior in Portsmouth you'll see that the Butterley name is stamped onto the beams.
Ah! I should have known that. Grew up on the Isle of Wight so went there many times!
Walked around there many times would loved to have seen that viaduct
Shame we like to destroy our history fantastic video by the way 👍
Thank you. I know, mate. So much is just destroyed.
Great post fry up bank holiday viewing this, putting the good, into Friday! Even a culvert mention lol! Nice one Gaz n BIG PHIL
Haha. That was a result that culvert!
@@IckeWalks to be honest Gaz, I may go in search of a big cully myself this weekend. I ain’t done much railway strutting recently.
@@LeiceExplore I've just found a chalk pit tunnel on the Isle of Wight audio l actually. As you do.
Fantastic video absolutely awesome I used to live not to far away in Eastwood 😂 it’s also served by hourly blue rainbow 1 bus and 90 bus to Ripley nice to see sleepers and those arches and I see what you mean about titanic there’s also one one of those miners memorial wheels for moor green colliery near Eastwood fantastic video hope you and phill both well 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤🎉🎉❤❤❤
Moor Green is one we need to do! Was meant to do that when we did Brinsley but the heavens opened!
@@IckeWalks yep hope Phil also enjoys his holiday wish I’d have been around in those days I’d loved to have worked down mines am looking forward to upcoming stomps n exploration from you Phil n team
@@LadySophieofHougunManor7325 same mate!
Sorry Gareth I will soon watch all the videos I missed, I am travelling and studing, but I am not forgetting "the walk". Be back soon
Earwash! 👂😂 You're doing it on purpose now!
I saw The Pretenders, The Members, The UK Subs and Adam and the Ants at Jacksdale Grey Topper. It used to get packed with a very low ceiling which used to get covered in condensation and drip on ya! It were brill!
My dad worked at Pye Hill after starting at Moorgreen. He loved working at the pit.
Sorry, rambling now....
Hi Guys. If you would like more information about the second half of this video, i would only be pleased to help. We manage the canl for DWT.
That would be amazing mate! My email is Gareth.icke@ickonic.com. Thank you!
the steam locos used by the pit were lowered to go under some of the bridges . one of them still exists i believe
Oh really! A shortened chimney, then?
@@IckeWalks and cab
Why bother to fill in bridges ?
With the infill you mean? Good question. Maybe to stop people trying to get under the tram tunnel, maybe?
My house ❤️ I'm cross from co.op in jacksdale
Haha. Amazing.
