- Two weeks ago i made a video in the deep railway cutting near Hugglescote in Leicestershire, but because of the weather, i had to cut it short.
So today, me and my trusty and very "Noseh" Pug, Nev, went and filmed, what i couldn't do last time.
This explore was very difficult in places as well! So there was plenty of Indiana jonesin going on today! If you enjoyed this video, please like, subscribe and share! Cheers, Steve...
Hello everyone! LeiceExplore is also on Facebook, if you head on over and give us a like, you will find bonus content, and photos, thank you and here is the link facebook.com/Steve.Picker84
Brilliant stuff when the weather improves ill have a nosey myself great video please continue with them Steve 😀
Thank you Dave, I'm pleased you enjoy them! I know tell me about it! I hope we have a good summer!
Your pug is cute , thanks for a great video 😊 and that bridge was interesting
Thank you very much! Yes very interesting that bridge! I don't no why those two arches have been converted? Maybe summat to do with the conveyer belt that was added to transport coal from the open cast at ibstock...
Well done Steve. I remember that area when it wasn’t overgrown! I took a series of publicity photos for a local band around the bridge in the early 1970s and those rooms were there then.
Wow I would love to see those! I am on Facebook, just look up Steven Picker, there ain't many Steven pickers about! But yeah very overgrown these days! Thanks for your comment!
I’m not on Facebook Steve, those negs are buried somewhere in a file with a few thousand others but I think I still have them! I recently had to digitise a colour slide of the station site from the same era if I can get it to you on Facebook somehow I will do. I’m Chairman and archivist for the Coalville Heritage Society so if you need an old photo anytime let me know, we have about 4,000 of the area in the archive. All we would need is a credit from you on the video.
@@smd1uk cheers for that, 4000 pics eh? They'll be loads of interesting stuff for me there then! Yeah of course I'll credit ya! Alternatively I have an email address Stevo777@live.co.uk cheers mate

Nice video. Never knew it existed lol. Amazing what you find on foot. Out of interest is there anything between London road and Bardon Road under that bridge. Between traffic lights and the small island. There used to be railway lines there and used to go around ner long lane
Hello mate thank you...yes that's the charnwood forest railway that part you mention, but I've not actually been up to see that bridge yet. I can still remember the bridge near subway as well.
@@LeiceExplore i can remember that bridge as well ner subway. I also can kind of remember next to coalville hospital there is a jitty what takes you to a park basically back end of sharply avenue the rail lines from what my grammar told me the used to run thru it .you used to could see where they bin not sure if they got buried
Thanks Steve.
It's a pleasure as always!
