I can't stop watching your videos! 👌
The platforms of Ardsley station are still there underneath landfill. I was a Police Patrol officer covering the M62 in the late 70's and the platforms for the Bradford line were visible.They were buried when they filled in all the land to build the Acanthus Golf Centre.
They're digging that area up at the moment to build something, I wonder if they unearthed the platforms
Hiya sorry could you do a sock strip video of you taking socks off slowly I feel embarrassed for asking if you can though
You missed the capped off mine. If you had walked along past the alcohol depot you get to a area of rough ground with a little footpath going through it. They have just recently capped the mine head off with a big concrete block. The footpath used to go practically over it until it was capped. I'm loving these vids as you are on my local patch now.
Oh yes, I think I know where you mean. I will cover it when I do the local collieries.
Again brilliant blog 😎
Thanks again!
Brilliant!
Thanks for watching. More to come.
I know that we must have progress, but it really pains me when I see these abandoned lines and buildings. What you do is to preserve the memories for all to enjoy in the future. Your photo fades are legendary. I do not know of another channel that does them so professionally. I have been subscribed to your channel for an age and love your live feeds. I especially enjoyed the holiday to Menorca as it brought back happy memories of past holidays for me. You see, this is what you do, invoke thought and happiness. Keep up the magnificent work. One thing that I have been meaning to ask but keep forgetting, do you do this full time, or do you have a day job? You must have a very busy life!
good video well made
Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant looking forward to the rest of the series. Thank you for the videos
Thanks for watching! More to come.
There's an old railway embankment near where I live in cottingley leeds . It runs parallel to gelderd Rd . I've often wondered where it used to go but it doesn't seem to be covered in any of these videos .
Ahh I was only there last week. Coming soon on the channel. Leeds New Line part 8.
I spotted a slight spelling error with the on screen caption at 19 mins 15 when describing the viaduct made up of two separate bridges. Another very interesting video - I'm sure the next part will be equally good. The pictures that you use are fantastic - I am interested to know where you keep getting them from.
You must have been watching the video very closely. Well done to you. I noticed after i'd uploaded it, but it was too late. There's a few more in some of my videos, hopefully nobody notices lol. That's what happens when I edit videos at 2am.
All good stuff again very nostalgic the photos at the end especially the one showing the station about to be demolished . Looked good the old viaduct brilliant engineering .Barney be happy in that undergrowth and I now know how to spell separate - bonus ! 🤔
Both grandfathers were colliers at the Tingley colliery, known as Topcliffe colliery but identified on your map as West Ardsley. Used to walk past Morley Top Station on my way to and from school and remember well the double viaduct at the junction of Bridge Street and High Street.Thought you were going to explore the Batley branch line
Hi Chris. I'm following the main line all the way through to Pudsey first. Then i'm going to do the Branch Lines separately.
@@AdventureMe Thanks. Great videos by the way.
PS It depends who I am logged in as whether you see me as Chris Walker or Morecambe Bay Piano, the latter is just a group of pianists that I organise performance opportunities for.
All that bloody work and a pillock politician on a power trip of stupidity destroys it all.
Unforgivable. The morons didn't even have the sense to mothball or protect the sites just in case they were needed in the future. Mr Beechings disastrous decimation of the railways was insane
Thanks for the video and chat. Amazing tours. Thanks buddy.
Hi
Do the tingley to batley branch there is a tunnel on the line
Yeah I will be soon.
Fascinating and so well presented keep 'em comming.
You never know you may just put Attenborough out of business.
Regards from Loutraki Greece
Thanks. Greetings to Greece.
Interesting video and cool seeing videos around Morley as thats our surname.
Thinks there's 4 ventilation shafts mate. Two in Morley. One next to Abbey House Vets, one in a housing estate off Bradford Road, one next to M62 and one in middle of Howley Hall Golf Club. From memory, might be wrong.
Your'e thinking of the Morley Tunnel. That has 4. I think I incorrectly said Morley Tunnel at one point, but I corrected it on the screen. It's the Gildersome Tunnel that I was looking at.
Walked this route today, found some remains of Tingley Station. Can’t upload a picture unfortunately.
What did you find? You can send them to darren@adventureme.co.uk
@@AdventureMe sent you a message on Facebook
Wish there was a video about the lost Yeadon (Leeds) railway line
Superb video,thanks
Great stuff , loved the pictures at the end, really interesting mate.
Thanks 👍 They only get better as we move along.
Always a great video and you need to plan another LIVE.
Wwhen I was a kid I remember watching the white rose getting built.
Hope the Barnsley maps and info make sence.
Also what maps do you use as my mum asked if I can find old maps of her old house
Just google "Old OS Maps".
@@AdventureMe thank you. Your a superstar
Hi Darren, ardsley colliery closed down in the 1930’s, and completely demolished, site then became tingley gasworks which closed early 70’s, the line was used for carrying coal wagons and removal of slag, also rubarb was loaded on to trains here as this was part of the rhubarb triangle, trains went straight to London and the rhubarb sold at Covent Garden market
If you put tingley gasworks in leodis it shows some good pictures
Thanks mate. I didn't know that. I've had a look at the pictures.
West Ardsley colliery at Topcliffe closed in the 1930s but East Ardsley colliery survived until 1968.
Buzzing like 5 smackheads that's just found 20 quid
HaHa, i like that one.
Hi Darren! Do you have an Instagram account or Facebook page for this channel? Thanks ☺️
Hi Sian. adventuremeyt on both.
Didn't the line cross Bridge Street near The Albion pub, itself now demolished?
Yes it did, Morley top station was opposite. Where the roundabout is now, watch the next episode of this video and you will see it.
Love all the old photos at the end 📸
Regarding the chord at the Tingley triangle connecting Batley to Morley Top.
All the OS maps I can find, (including the one you feature), show this as a long siding which doesn't actually join at the Batley end. I know the books say this was a route but if the OS maps are correct it wasn't for much, if not all, of it's life.
Any thoughts?
It may have only been a short term thing. Or it could have been much later than the map shows.
@@AdventureMe I suspect with the direct link from Batley to Drighlington, the longer route via Tingley triangle would be redundant. Incidentally the NLS has maps right up until the 1960s, albeit you have to look at them one sheet at a time and on none of them could I find anything other than a long siding.
The cottage at Morley top station where the steps upto station was my dads house we refurbished the cottage
Brilliant, such history there.
Darren yet another fab video! Greetings from a lady railway fanatic!
Did you ever do the section from tingley roundabout, down into batley and Howden cough. which is now the leed country way footpath?
Not yet Joe.
@@AdventureMe good stuff, thought I had missed it. Keep up the good work.
This channel is absolutely brilliant it would be nice if he could do one from Castleford to Allerton bywater to Garforth
I will be soon.
Keep the good work up darren
Hi Darren. Will you be exploring the line that runs off down to Woodkirk, Soothill down to Batley in the future?
Yes very soon. Already done the section from tingley to Beeston coming soon.
Did you get to walk along the viaduct crossing the wakefield-leeds line? I did it about a decade ago and got some good photos and nettles stung legs from wearing shorts!
Great series, keep it up.
There is a big tunnel still there that runs on that old line from Woodkirk (near the cricket club) down towards Batley.. used to play in it as kids :)
I think all the red bricks are from an old Brickworks. Ive been told the bricks were taken out trains out of Tingley station, and many of the houses such as the Armitage Buildings was built from the same bricks i even think it was called the Armitage Brickworks. The railway tunnel entrance which went to Batley can be found right at the top of Quarry Road where it turns to the right up towards the quarry itself.
Yes, I think I have found it on the old maps.
Very good so far...used to spend many a happy hour at Ardsely station, and played on the disused line you are on. Also played on the disused branch towards Woodkirk and Batley when the tracks were still down, brings back many happy memories...thank you....David
Thanks. Morley Top Station next and then onwards.
All good stuff again really liked the photos at the end .A lot of work must have gone into that viaduct . Barney would be happy in that undergrowth Next video sounds interesting . And bonus learning how to spell separate 🤔🐕🚝
Yes, I made a mistake lol. Everyone has spotted it. Glad to know people are paying attention.
Hi another brilliant video! Always wondered about the hill on the left as you leave the big roundabout, remains of the slag heap I guess, can’t wait for upcoming videos and the pictures at the end are so poignant of the past we have lost
Steve
Thanks 👍
Cool
the land at the other side was a gas works i was born i tingley in 50 i never seen a collery thereonly gas works
The colliery pre-dates the gas works.
Topcliffe Colliery not West Ardsley
No it was called West Ardsley originally. I'm using the 1895 maps where its labelled on there.
@@AdventureMe Closed in the 1930s it was the Scene of a Murder in 1946
@@jonathanhall7334 Yeah
Love the abandoned railway series. Totally hooked 👍
Thanks mate
some interesting finds in morley
There were.
