How brilliant was that. Wonderful how it is getting a new life. I so enjoyed that. Thanks for all the volunteers. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care
I just love what the volunteers have done at Clowne. What splendid restoration! Thanks to Adam and your good self for the guided tour. Looking forward to the other station, too!
Great video,Ant. I've been following Wobbly Runner's regular updates on the project, so it's brilliant that you could showcase this magnificent project from the Clowne Local History Society to all your subscribers. Very upsetting to have read yesterday that the site was vandalised earlier this week,by mindless local scum. Nothing is safe these days.....
Fascinating stuff. Well done to the volunteers who’ve been involved in the refurbishment. Looks amazing! It’s amazing how quickly nature reclaims things.
Very impressive restoration work of a station full of character and a certain charm. As you say, it must have been quite something to stand at the top of the ramp amd watch trains passing below. What a loss to lose both stations just a few yards apart. Thank you.
Thank you for this very interesting video presentation which is very much appreciated. It is rather sad that Clowne used to have two stations so close to each other and now they have none. It is great to see the memory of the station is being kept alive by these volunteers.
Great to see you showing this wonderful recreation . Spent many years wandering around here exploring and was a big part of my childhood . My dad who’s 88 remembers these lines well . The line passed at the end of his garden & overnight visitors struggled to sleep cos of the train noises! Lovely to see it being brought back to life
What a great restoration work. Beautiful job being done by the volunteers. Super video Ant. So informative. Thank you for all your research and interviews with the workmen. Well done.
Brilliant video absolutely love this and such amazing work that is been done here by Adam and the Team and thank you for sharing the before shots it shows just how much work has gone into it. As much as I would love to see the platforms extended I really think the grass areas make it all "pop". Definitely going to get myself down to see this when I'm in the area.
The amount of times I passed through Clowne and never realised there were not one but 2 railway stations. Got to go back there now. I’m thinking the guide is a flight simmer given his T shirt.
Friend of mine, Arthur Dudley, used to have a painting, or print of, with a view of the third Chesterfield Station up where it was, apparently encovered in clap board,, near to where the old Royal Hospital stood, close to where the foot bridge over the by pass is today, from just past where Trebors stood/Arnold Lavers site, just thought I'd say as Clowne Stn reminds, although in brick, very much of the look of this other long gone town rail point. Wasn't it's termini the other vanished town Stn that which stood agin the Portland Hotel, which crossed the blue brick viaduct over Birdholmes Hornes Bridge, (the main line Bridge stlli in operation)?
It must have taken a lot of work to restore this and the platform, I couldn't imagine how much effort it has taken. I really must take a trip up north sometime. I live in the south of England and never get a chance to travel up north.
@@TrekkingExploration that's the right location, think that building was linked to railway, but been privately owned for many years.. The station was on the opposite side facing ASDA. Same design but built with stone.
Shame it is not actually being reopened as a station [either as part of the National Rail network or as a preserved line. However, it is still good to restore as a landmark, perhaps it could become an open air museum. I went to an open air museum some time back in the 90s [or maybe late 80s] at Amberley just N of Arundel in W. Sussex. IDK if this still exists or whether it fell victim to one of the recessions which have occurred since if the covid closure became a permanent closure.
Volunteers always help make the world a better place.
They are such a lovely bunch

Thanks Simon. The other station will appear in the next one 🙂
Bravo to the volunteers there. Great stuff.

It's a great little project. The other station shall appear next time 😊
Amazing what can be achieved with hard work & dedication.Thanks Ant.😂
My pleasure. Thanks for watching
keep up the work many of our railways disappeared people like you and myself who are in the preservation of railways
What an amazing job they have done!

It must have been an amazing spot. Imagine being a rail enthusiast and having the choice of both lines just 100 feet or so apart ❤️
Wow, that's an incredible effort on the part of the volunteers. Beautiful site. Great, informative video. Thank you.
@@jillanderson7048 thanks very much indeed 😃
Nice one again. Thank you
Thanks very much Angela
Absolutely fascinating video Ant. What a splendid recreation of the station and surrounds the volunteers have done.
Thanks for watching William. The next video will show the work done on the other Clowne Station
Excellent work on the Station, long may it continue. Love the Tunnel and its history, lovely line. Wish they were still in use.
Thanks very much Nick. It's a lovely little project

Thanks for watching John. You'll get to see the other station in the next video

I can imagine the passing trains overnight must have seemed like they would be there forever at the time 😞
What a great restoration work. Beautiful job being done by the volunteers. Super video Ant. So informative. Thank you for all your research and interviews with the workmen. Well done.
Thanks for the BRILLIANT post Ant...also to all the volunteers that have recreated a wonderful attraction,will visit when I can.
I'm pleased you enjoyed it thank you. The next installment shall follow next week 🙂
So good to see volunteers doing such a brilliant job, top marks to all of them👍👍
"Lets put a roundabout here and don't look at any plans" - typical🙄🙄
Yeah I thought similar, how could they not know what was below? 😂
Lovely little video - I live literally 2 mins away, it's been great to see the progression. Well done 👍🏻
Thanks very much Stephanie. I'll feature the other station in the next video 🙂
Absolutely amazing.
Such dedication from the volunteers.
Thank you for the video 😊
That's a lovely survival and restoration. Great work Ant.
Thanks very much for watching John
brilliant the effort put into it Ant thanks for posting
Thanks very much for watching Chris

amazing volunteer work there, Ant. brilliant! thanks for that video!
They are doing amazing especially as they manage both old stations
This is such a lovely and evocative idea. Well done chaps!
Thanks very much for watching Michelle
The signal would be a starter surely, home signal would be at entry to station.
Great work there by the volunteers!
AHH probably. Thanks for clearing that 🙂
Quality as always a great watch top man👍👍
Much appreciated thanks Andrew
It's beautiful there
An absolute credit to them
The amount of times I passed through Clowne and never realised there were not one but 2 railway stations. Got to go back there now. I’m thinking the guide is a flight simmer given his T shirt.
Ahhh yes I only spotted the t shirt when I was editing 😂
The other station is a credit to them too.. that'll feature next time
Very good - Shame it closed in the 1st place 🤔🚂🚂🚂
Thanks. The line next to it was lost opportunity too

Unlucky 😂
i live just round corner from there its a big improvement over what it used to look like .
Both stations look remarkable don't they
Nice video mate!
Thanks for watching ☺️
Looks just like the station at Sutton in Ashfield that they pulled down...
Is that the one with the wreck of a building behind the stone wall?

Sir Topham Hatt
