Great vid gaz. I’ve lived in and around clippo most of my life but still learned a few new things from your vid. The chap that currently oversees the development of the headstocks (Stu Mills) often puts on tours where he will show you around the inside. Might be worth a neb mate
Fantastic footage and many interesting facts in this video. I had no Idea that Nottinghamshire was big on coal mining years ago. The Clipston headstocks are very impressive. Hope they are Grade 2 listed. Should be made into a museum or as you say a gym, leisure centre.
Great video. Love that section of line and have walked it many times. I always seem to find something that I've prevously overlooked. Well worth a visit.
I'm really loving your work Gareth and I hope the powers that be would take note about your suggestion that all these old engineering masterpieces can be repurposed into facilities rather than destroyed or left to rot . Keep on truckin good buddy
White tiles on the ground, perhaps a flooring that facilitated some sort of kitchen works for workers/families. Adore the idea of saving our past buildings (if doable) for todays needs ie gyms etc. 💕
Nice one Gaz! Great lunchtime viewing as per usual mate. Dedicating culverts now, I’m honoured lol! Some great stuff on this walk to be fair. Unbelievable Jeff Headstocks to.
Good topic for this one Gareth, a few of the old haunts of my late father who started on the footplate at Tuxford just before WW2 which at the time was LNER territory, he told me of many of the places they worked to including Mansfield con. Lincoln ,and across to Chesterfield , all short hops by today's standards but an absolute maze of railways and industry's at that time. He mentioned that there was some sort of massive bomb dump at the trackside somewhere in Sherwood Forest and also the oil trains that loaded oil from one of the collieries in the area that later formed part of the Pluto project after D Day.
Hayup Gareth I like all the silver birch trees on these walks on old train tracks, I think there known as a sign of man being present on land in fairly recent times, I also really liked that fan of bricks to the walkway tunnel I guess if you'd done a few it'd be good to put in a bit of your own flair or style once set it's too late to alter. If they turned it in to a sports centre they'd have plenty room for basement storage 900 plus metres blimey! I wonder what the Schumann Resonance is at that kinda depth? Cheers.

Awesome video as always hope you n the gang n Phil well ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 🎉🎉
you could definitely tell they were railway lines. That tunnel was like a recurring dream from childhood, it had a light at the end!

Yeah, good call. A workers mess, for a brew.
Nice tour Gareth as always
Thanks mate

You can see them from miles away, mate. Enormous.
Yay! That was great!
Thanks!

And for completing the walk and not falling on the final stretch,, the golden handshake goes . . to . . . Gareth!
Haha. It's a rare achievement for me, that

They filled the shafts in with concrete a few years back I think!
So did you suggest that you are now finally wearing boots rather than the trainers?
I did indeed! A slow learner!
Good job. Just in time for spring mud.
Absolutely! @@bwaynesilva
