Amazing film. Thank you for uploading

Thanks for the video. My grandparents lived in Pinxton right next door to the M1 (opposite Cotterills) on the way out to Kirkby-in-Ashfield. Brings back happy memories. I wish England was like it used to be - England for the English!

Opened by counsellor K. Hunt. :)

What makes this film so Sombre , is that there are women wearing medals over their right breast, these ladies are more than likely Mothers or Wives of soldiers killed in the War.

The Revell family is part of my family tree, so I shall have to pay a visit to see this lovely house.

That's Squire Morewood in the carriage 1.07

great footage . I love watching old vids like this

rip my slime

ah man what a tragedy i remember it like it was yesterday

This is brilliant,i watch and wonder what they were thinking as they saw the camera

I was 9 years old and living in Newton Derbyshire when this was filmed,very nostalgic thank you

Great to watch if you remember how quiet the roads used to be and the lack of traffic lights around which made your journey quicker. It would take much longer to do the same journey today. Lovely stuff.

Two of the counsellors are related to Dennis Skinner

Very interesting, oh for a Time Machine.

Una pena muy grande que esto esté a si!! 🥹🥲🥲🥲

What was the music used on this video

In 1895 18th Aprill there was a pit acsedent Where 9 men died 1 was my great grandad.

Just came across Tom's work. I see Aperture just did a book. Great artist/photographer

the EMF meter is placed on the rock by the presenter himself at 07:00, no scary stuff there except for his imagination

Another cool little video

a, soon, as they, start, talking about, dick turpins horse, black bess, you know, that, they haven't got a clue, that crap, is fairytale fantasy for tourists

Why the candle??

I enjoy this l like to see more like this thanks for sharing this

Is that morton pit at start

I recall as a child watching the diggers from my grandparents back bedroom window on Alfreton Road. Then when it was opened the Sunday Afternoon trip to Leicester Forest East services to the posh wastress service restaurant on the bridge.

So little traffic. So few road signs and markings. A joy to watch. Thank you.

La verdad que es impresionante haberlo visto así 😢 yo llevo ya desde 2016 o 2017 llena ahí y nunca puede verlo así que lastima y a la misma vez daros las gracias 💯💯 la primera vez que estuve había un guardia ahí felicidades por el vídeo y con permiso poder compartirlo gracias por antemano ❤

F for fake.

The Butterley Ironworks on this video is actually at Ripley, not Codnor, a few miles away. The site where the loading was is now a modern housing estate. Sold off to developers shortly before the works closed for good after over 200 years of business. A once major employers, ruined by greedy asset strippers.

2 j reg motors so after august 70'

Part of the film is the walk about in Mansfield after the Queen had officially opened the new Library. I recall it well as it was my first ever day at work on one of the shops along the walkabout route

This is right under my feet as I type this

My grandma was an rent rebel and she is on this Video . And I am so proud of her for standing up for what she believed in rest in place grandma xxxx

And now ! People just lie down and take anything thrown at them …..

You look a young bloke there Richard, what year was that ?

Another bit of footage from the days of Lilly F’lix , nice that you posted it! Greetings from an Alfretonian 👍

I like the industrial head protection trilby hats

look how many children worked there...WORKED!

Wow, this is like sitting in the front passenger seat of my Dad's car. I was 10 when this was filmed, we go past a house I used to live in, where friends and relatives lived, past my old school, (Heanor Grammar) and past the pit that my Dad worked at, even @18:08, past the place where I was born, (Mundy street, Heanor). What a journey in space and time.

Are there any adits or capped shafts still visible in Alfreton?

Not a single obese person amongst them!

My Dad spent his working life down there..Alonza Stanley Jones.

My great great grandfather is Horace Smith Dorian,

my great great grandma is the one at the right at 1:18

The best thing about Spring 1965, is that I was born - Steve Hammond Kaye - amazing author:

I could follow his route as far as the entrance to the American adventure park, that was. Was it a pit office he was travelling to. I only picked the route up again, coming back past the American adventure Park. Fascinating look back in time.

Fascinating! Thank you.

I was born and bred in Alfreton and was 15 in 1969. It's a great memory jogger and brings back long forgotten memories of my youth. I worked with Steve for quite a few years when we were on the lorries and am so grateful that his dad Fred had the foresight to do this.
