Always love your output, Ant. The quality just gets better and better. We have travelled back to the beginning and will now work our way forward to the present. Please continue onward!
Wow this is the first one I ever did. I need to go back and do this one again much better. I need to do a lot in the West Midlands too this year eventually 👍
@@TrekkingExploration There's only about a mile section with water each side of the town of Newport and most of the rest had been ploughed back into the fields. The other impressive surviving feature is Thomas Telford's cast iron aqueduct at Longdon-on-Tern.
Spent many a hour dossing around the piped culvert over Coronation RD: as a kid and teenager. Went to Cossall school just down the road. One of those ponds had koi carp dumped into it, sadly someone fished then all out a few years ago. Talking of the Festival Inn, my grandad and gradma were the first people to have a function there when they had their wedding reception.
If you walk the Nottingham canal (coming from Ilkeston, for me it was always 'the top cut') again it might be worth noted when it froze over during the notorious winter of 1947. I went 'slurring' on it several weekends though, unlike the slides on the yard at Granby Boys' School, it was level and less fun.
hello, just found your TH-cam channel, via a recommendation from Twitter that I should follow your Twitter account. when I checked out your Twitter page, I saw the link to your TH-cam channel, and came here to check it out. I have now subbed to both! I love watching narrowboat vlogs, and yours is a new angle to that, because you are exploring the canal areas by foot instead of boat, and that seems interesting!
