Great video. Difficult to believe that the area you are now exploring was one with such huge industry and every type of a transport. Thanks.

Great content . I do have a question though . Further up on tank row there are some concrete blocks that lead to a railway line that appears to run behind oaks colliery . Is this part of the barnsley coal railway ?

Hi thanks for that
I’m not 100 %
I would have to check maps 😃 but the two lines around tank row were the Barnsley coal
I can’t remember seeing the blocks

I managed to find out about the bit of rail line I mentioned . Its part of the midland line that went over oaks viaduct . Was down the other day and bumped into the park ranger for oaks colliery who told me . He also said the dearne and dove aqueduct had to be demolished using dynamite it was that well built . Willful destruction me thinks . Again great content and many thanks for your efforts .
