Really enjoyed your journey from Creswell towards Shirebrook, having worked as a PE teacher in both locations from 1977 to 2010 and having run along some of the path you used.
That was a fascinating series, taking in so much of the railway history of the area, a real shame for you though as it ended on such a wet note!! It was nice to see the old station house still there at Langwith Junction, I love it when those buildings are preserved. The fact that it was only twelve miles amazes me as there was so much to see along the way - nice one WR.
A Dam fine episode only got to the Norwood cross road in 90s well done for braving the weather..can't wait for you to revised spinkhill am guna get that lamppost listed 😉
The foot bridge and those two bases at the end was actually an elevated sewer pipe that's only gone quite recently. Also about five hundred yards before Norwood crossing there was the LEDCR crossing - the house on the right was the crossing keepers cottage and you can still see where the rails crossed the road..
Very good 👍 lots of stuff I've never even noticed, recently saw a few concrete posts recently where that black connector line is, and I'd seen the brick wall a bit further down, but completely unaware of that signal post, only tend to use that path in dry weather though so it's probably well overgrown then. You didn't find enough stone to rebuild the bridge to connect the loop over the Robin Hood line then 😆 Oh and all that stone where the Poulter car park is, it's clearly from the other abutment but yet I've never put two and two together 🤷🏼♂️🤦♂️
Excellent video, really enjoyed this series, thank you - out of curiosity, are you planning to go back to Seymour Junction and follow it up through Staveley and towards Barrow Hill?
Cheers as always 👍🙂. Yeah that sections on my to do list. I was a little bit apprehensive as there's been work going on and I wasn't sure if you were meant to be on there
Great video, I lived in Langwith watch trains go buy in the 60`s ,the history of HM Factory is fascinating
Cheers Anthony. It must have been great to see the junction active back then.
Nicely done mate. I enjoyed that. Those sharp trees are a real nuisance! 😁👍🏻
Haha they sure are😄

👍🙂 my pleasure. I would love to have been around to see Langwith Junction when it was active.
@@WobblyRunner What a sight that would have been.
A Dam fine episode only got to the Norwood cross road in 90s well done for braving the weather..can't wait for you to revised spinkhill am guna get that lamppost listed 😉
😄😄. I had a dream that lampost suddenly came to life and was a huge beacon a few nights ago.....I need a break.
Can be good chill out zones these places we Rome depending on ya state of mind ..when solitaire in a cutting its a bit spooky..
@@WobblyRunner hi Paul dropped you a line on messenger not spam.

I did wonder about the crossing near Norwood. Other than the house I couldn't see much. But I did wonder if it was a crossing or bridge.
It was a level crossing exactly like the one that’s still there. You can see the hump in the road where the track was. 👍👍
Another informative video to finish the series thank you for posting.👍 Should have taken the dog he would have loved those puddles 😀
Thanks Adrian. If the dog was there I'd be there facedown in a puddle 😄
