Somersetshire Coal Canal walk 2

Returning to a wet Somerset for walk 2 of the Somerset coal canal society, "Canal way walk". Radford to Camerton old colliery, another short walk but enjoyable even if I got soaked. The Small village of Camerton seems an unusual setting for two Coal mines with both batches towering over the quintessential Somerset village, a once busy railway and canal winding through its heart transporting the coal to places a far.
Apologies if I mis pronounce any names of places and for my waffling, I am but a simply soul ; ).

Hi, lovely to follow you on this walk. My maiden name was Kendall and it was my uncle and family who bought and donated the miner statue that once stood outside the Jolly Collier pub. They lived, and ran a business, in Camerton for many years. Thank you - it was a lovely surprise to hear our name mentioned in your video. 🙂

Its really interesting to see local history - Thanks

Thanks for canal walk 2 from Radford to Camerton. Once again you bring back happy memories of walking the route with my partner who sadly is no longer with me. Took a picture of the statue of the miner in 2000 and he was coloured brown then. Guess he must have been repainted blue since then!!

Another excellent video my friend, and the Jolly Cholera didn’t shut that long ago sorry Jolly collier . Looking forward to part three 👍🏻💯

Nearly fell off my chair to hear the old Jolly Collier get called "Jolly Cholera." Well done for another great video.

Thanks for watching. I just couldn't say collier 😂

As always a lovely and interesting video, its nice that we have so much industrial heritage locally, albeit gradually disappearing. 👌

[@Towpathtraveller1693]

And disappearing, it is. Camerton new pit is now a place that is sealed off. I had an idea whilst walking. Why not turn Paulton basin into a museum, I can't see the canal ever opening again 😢 so it's a good compromise. Rebuild the basin to what it was with a campsite perhaps

Please tell me it isn't the Jolly Cholera, but rather Jolly Collier. "To make us live in fear" - a man after my own heart 👍 Excellent video, once again 😀

🤪 the jolly disease, the word that just won't come out right. Thanks for watching
