I live on Larpool Lane and absolutely love walking my dog on the old railway line and in the woods at Stainsacre. Lots of old side tracks to explore too, which run parallel to the main line. One thing you did miss was as you approach the viaduct, on your right hand side is a big gate leading to the private walled garden of Larpool Hall. The lord of the manor contributed to the railway construction and in return had his own platform there.
That viaduct is a beauty! Such a shame that unique signal box got destroyed. Superb series! Love how you've put this one together with plenty of old photos of how things once was and even video clips!
The choice of music, the historical images and the wonderful cinematography combine to make this a stunning creation Ant. The score is hauntingly beautiful and echos nostalgically with the topic. Thanks Ant, truly worth the wait to get back home and watch this. A wonderful relaxing moment watching this. You've set the bar, now you need to reach higher cobber. Cheers mate.
Loved the old footage and photos along with such a pretty costal walk with so many wildlfowers and May blossom. Larpool viaduct is stunning and not one I knew about. Such a shame this line was closed...I could see it being great for tourism if it could re-open. Well made episode as always(though don't you walk fast!) Thanks for sharing.
John Boyes was a well known railway photographer but was an electrical engineer rather than a signalman although he had an extensive knowledge of railway signalling. He was the Signal Engineer of the North York Moors Railway until his death about 2007 and his memorial plaque is fixed to the outside of Grosmont Crossing Signal box. Several times I travelled between Loftus and Scarborough via the coast route as a child and each journey was so exciting. Thoroughly enjoyable video.
Without doubt the best railway video by far on you tube, the scenery the way you talk about the lines history, and the beautiful music. Yorkshire at its best. Look forward to the 5th part. P.S. Where is the music from, as it is beautiful.
This section even to this day is so full of life, and the remaints are all around for everyone to see, plus there's alot of querks around that area too, that area you mentioned with the traffic lights also has a horse crossing(complete with button and beeping) which I can't imagine there's lots of in this country which makes it unique
Another great video!Informative and showing the scenery and some items left after the track was taken up.I still maintain that the Government at the time and Beeching were very shortsighted.Looking forward to the next video in the series,thank you!!
Another great part to this series, magical B&Ws and excellently produced, going to miss this little trek. Great shots of Larpool, only ever seen it from below whilst craning my neck from a NYMR carriage!!!!! 👍👍👍👍
I first came across Larpool on a modern railtour and walked a circuit including over the viaduct. I was amazed! Was caught in a mother of all sleet showers on the way back which goes to show how bleak this line would have been out of season.
Just when you think you seen it all ....This is terriffic. Stunning line and viaduct,, i love the old shots integrated. Youve pulled it out of the bag again. Fabulous.
Ant, your use of vintage "film" footage really helps tell the story and show a visual history. Great drone work, such a beautiful countryside. Well it's 2:06AM here so time to say "So long." Thanks again for your time and work.
Glorious day for your walk and filming. Outstanding video. Before and after amazing. The music you played during the viaduct shots so moving. I felt quite emotional. Absolutely brilliant Ant. Great findings as you walked along. Bridges and tunnels wow factor. Thank you.
Absolutely gripping and brilliantly filmed and edited! So nostalgic. I was a train spotter in my youth in the time before Beeching and then the demise of steam but I never got the chance to travel on this line. Your video has really brought it to life. Even the weather has been perfect too. Many thanks.
Absolutely lovely video incorporating fantastic scenery. One thing I did notice was that all of the recesses are above the pillars each side of an arch.
Such a fantastic video. Such beautiful brick/stone work. I agree steam train. Best but do love them all. All those gorgeous flowers and birdsong. You had it all with the views too. Just awesome. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care
Thank you for the picturesque video today. It’s wonderful to accompany you on these, being disabled in the United States. Appreciate the labours in these. See you on the next. Cheers Ant! ❤️🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸
There was a steel works for many years to the east of Larpool viaduct. The site is now a big grass meadow. The gas works was also under the viaduct o the same bank but on the Whitby side.
The original potash mine proposal was dug, but at Boulby instead of at Hawsker and required the rebuilding of the line from Carlin How through to the mine including a new viaduct.
Great video. I have walked this route as far as Staintondale and will finish it one day. Brought back many memories and you showed some structures which i had not seen on my journey.I loved the old black and white photos especially the two showing 42084 which was shedded at Whitby. It`s sister loco 42085 which was also at whitby has been restored and works on the Lakeside and Haverthwaite railway in Cumbria. Look forward to your journey northwards.
I so look forward to your documentaries, brilliant narration, videography and history. Also thanks for the info about dog poo. I live in London and the youngsters think it’s beneath their pay grade to pick up their dogs mess and if they do they throw the bag on the ground. Your videos lift me out of the reality of the big smoke into the world I adore. Spent some lovely weeks in RHB. Magnificent
Great end to the current series! We are (hopefully!) cycling from Scalby to Whitby and back tomorrow, can't wait! BTW after the Whitby to Loftus section closed in 1958, the DMUs reversed just past Prospect Hill rather than going all the way to Whitby WC - there is some good footage of this in action on the excellent 'Sentimental Journey' video on UA-cam, shot and voiced by Frank Dean 👍. Love this area and looking forward to your journey further north!
You did it again !! Not just an excellent video with your usual stunning visuals, but the music ? well it was good all through, but when the Viaduct appeared and the video went into what I call Ladybower music (the kind you played when exploring the Reservoir) I had to get my tissues out again. The British tourist board should have you on commisison, because you make people (well me anyway) want to visit these places.
Thanks very much! Yes I went a bit country folk with this one. I like to change it occasionally. But for the Viaduct I had to stick with the really good stuff 😉
Loved the aerial shots of the viaduct, and you had a great day weather wise. Also @17.31on the opposite side of the river near to where the big aerial mast is, there used to be a gas works. Lots of old history in the area . Thanks for sharing .
Back in the seventies when all the family was still at home we used to get fish and chips from Sleights then picnic at the Hawsker end of the Larpool viaduct before the road to the Cook Homes was created, but the viaduct was fenced unfortunately. Great to see it now via drone, thanks Ant.
Ant, what a fantastic series you've given us, probably your best yet, not only were the views outstanding but having great weather really showed them at their best. I did 2 nights camping with my kayak 2 weeks ago, & saw the waterfall onto the beach with the surrounding pond. So thanks to you that area of coastline is my new go to place. You really have grown into a cracking exploration channel, & should be well proud of your content. Regards.....Urban Geeze.
Thanks very much. I love it when what I share gives good inspiration. You'll be wanting to be down the isle of wight soon then after what I've done this week 😉
A great video so much photography of open land Numerous pictures and vintage footage steam locos It must have been a wonderful ride along the coast not fast judging by the check rails on the bends Credit to the craftsmen that do all the buildings on this and other lines across the country no satellite measuring no tower cranes and the scaffold of wood lashed together with steel rope i can remember seeing this as young child
Hi Ant, what another stunning video, from start to finish beautiful scenery the viaduct was , awesome! I love your excellent commentary also very informative alongside the old photos you can just tell you love what you do. Thank you, ❤😊
Stunning footage of Larpool Viaduct which with the archive film and photo's of its construction, gives an idea of what it must have been like to cross it by train. I suppose qwe shoulsd be tankful that it survives and is readily accessible for later generations to enjoy. The dream must be that locomotives will one day return. All in all, a superb document of this magnificent route. Thank you!
I cheekily watched this one before the others as I was excited to see the viaduct but I will catch up with the others it was lovely to see all of the things left over thanks for sharing 😂 xx
Me and the wife walked this stretch yesterday lovely views and really hard to believe what was just a shame it’s not running today we plan to walk the old line from RHB to Scarborough I have a lot of Interest in this old line I no the line from Easington to Whitby very well I lived on the old railway cottages at Hinderwell I look forward to the next adventure 👍
I stayed at Captain Cooks haven around 10 years ago...and being me, I soon started routing around at Prospect Hill Junc, there is still a lot remaining, the rodding stools still in situe...watching your video brought back some memories....thank you for posting, there are many others out there jumping on the bandwagon and doing these type of videos.. but yours are simply the best...cheers Ant
Wow another great video of your trip to Whitby which we also really enjoyed on our bikes as the decent is gradually down hill all the way to the town centre & easy to climb back up to Hawsker where we stayed..
Amazing beautiful music Ant 🙂💜 would love to listen 🎶 too on a cd 💿 or some other way. Really lovely man Ant 🙂 we enjoy your films shining threw your appreciated feeling s 💜 Brillanto 😊
Another superb video Ant. Just been to that are myself for the 3rd time! How about doing the 'original' North York Moors line from Grosmont heading South before it was re-routed?
Just stumbled across this chanel .Beautifully put together. Even the music is great. Love the combination of drone footage, trekking footage and old video and photos. Congratulations. I'm very impressed. Have subscibed and will look forward to lots more of your efforts. Thanks a lot.
i remember going long this line as a child not many people on the train thats why t was closed ican remember sitting on a seat watching tte train at runswick bay dad said wont see that again shame really.
More superlatives Ant. The drone footage is stunning. A question though: beneath the Larpool Viaduct does the North Yorkshire Moors Railway share the running line with the current Train Operating Company whoever that is?
another excellent video👍 loved the viaduct smashing views from the top what a waste this should have never closed the track should have been left I would very much like to see this line reopened it was wrong to close it in the first place
Larpool viaduct was offered for sale some years ago for the princely sum of £1. Not bad for 5 million bricks! Only trouble was that the buyer would be responsible for the maintenance. The route is known as the Cinder Track because the surface was originally the cinder ballast from the old line. It is being gradually repaired with more suitable materials but I am sure that the name will stick. In 1972 a gang of us from the NYMR recovered the pointwork from Hawsker Station Yard for use at the North end of Goathland Station before the line opened in 1973. We had very few tools and used an artic lorry hired from Readmans in Whitby for the day plus Ron Cana's coal lorry to transport the materials to Grosmont. Happy memories of over 20 years ago! Some lovely aerial shots from the drone Ant. Makes you realise the scale of the viaduct which isn't so obvious on film without seeing it from the air. Thanks for another super video.
Very interesting Ant. Did you notice the bases of the pillars of the viaduct in the water have a very interesting design? I also noted they are angled differently to the pillars on the land. 26:02
@@TrekkingExploration the coastlines up that way are magnificent, we go regularly for a couple of nights. And I usually take myself off on onewheel, you seen these amazing devices?, for a ride along routes like this one, and then bus it back when the battery dies!
Hi Ant, Whats the music around the 4.40 minute mark. I cant get it out of my head 😀😀Im dredging my way through scotts back catalogue and cant find it . Its neither of the two you listed in your description. Brilliant series btw thoroughly enjoyed it
As an ex-resident of Saltburn, I’m going to declare some bias and add the Saltburn viaduct into the contenders. At one stage I lived in a house on Marske Mill Lane with the railway to Skinningrove and Boulby at the bottom of the garden. I could hear the trains at night. Unfortunately no parents were interested in the railway, so although I’m old enough that I could have travelled this line, it didn’t happen, though I did go along the Esk valley to Whitby a number of times back in the day when all the points were mechanical and there were manned signal boxes (and platforms where the Sainsbury’s is in Whitby). I would recommend Google Earth to all railway historians. Although tracks have been lifted, it’s almost always possible to see where they went. I’ve used this to look at all the defunct railways around Saltburn, Brotton, Guisborough, and Eston. Fascinating pieces of history.
Regarding the picture of the pier with the scaffolding again. Just to the right of the scaffolding, there appears to be a bloke perched on top of a high pole ! Any ideas folks ?
Perhaps the most stunning disused (by rail)one in Yorkshire but Ribblehead is the most stunning used one.There's another disused one near Tebay but I am not sure if that was in Yorkshire or Westmoreland before the 1974 tinkering with the English counties but it'll be in the modern Cumbria now.
They could only reverse a loco-hauled train if it was no more than 2 coaches long with a brake van leading. After West Cliff closed the reversal took place at Prospect Hill junction.

It's okay Bob there's still part 5 to come. I've already filmed half of the Whitby to Loftus line to ready for the Autumn

Excellent. Thank you

Cheers Martin as always. One more to come then we'll leave Yorkshire for a few months
There was a steel works for many years to the east of Larpool viaduct. The site is now a big grass meadow. The gas works was also under the viaduct o the same bank but on the Whitby side.
Fantastic as always Ant. All 4 video's of this old stretch of line have been superb.
Gotta be one of the strangest alignments in the country, amazing viaduct, nice footage as ever
The original potash mine proposal was dug, but at Boulby instead of at Hawsker and required the rebuilding of the line from Carlin How through to the mine including a new viaduct.

Yes I enjoyed it very much. Well done Ant.
An outstanding set of films, reminding me of happy times around that area. Congratulations.
Glad you enjoyed them. There's still more to come 😀
i turned my Tv off 4 years ago never regreted it content like this from independents like yourself is the future great stuff keep up the good work
I cheekily watched this one before the others as I was excited to see the viaduct but I will catch up with the others it was lovely to see all of the things left over thanks for sharing 😂 xx
If you though this bit if the coast was stunning then you'll be impressed by the coast north of Whitby upto Saltburn.
I agree with you on that.
I really like your videos Ant, you go places I'd love to myself but can't because of disability. Thank you so much.
I went swanage last week superb on steam and vintage diesel loads of happy passengers like this journey could have been !!

Many thanks Jon. There's plenty more to come from up here. I'll get back up there to do more around the autumn
Just finished watching Scarborough to Whitby videos, brilliant!
Very kind thanks very much. The series continues with the Whitby to Loftus Route
Yep seen that one as well 😀
Thankyou for your your time and effort. As a x br fireman it was so wrong of the government to do what they did to the railway network.
Wow another great video of your trip to Whitby which we also really enjoyed on our bikes as the decent is gradually down hill all the way to the town centre & easy to climb back up to Hawsker where we stayed..
Very high quality, Ant! Wonderful 😍👌🏼👍🏻
Very kind thank you

another great video Ant to see where the rail line went great walk cheers mate.

Very interesting Ant. Did you notice the bases of the pillars of the viaduct in the water have a very interesting design? I also noted they are angled differently to the pillars on the land. 26:02
The pillars were deliberately angled so as not to restrict the river flow as much as possible.
Very good & Lovely views Ant 🙂🚂🚂🚂
WHAT - Vandals burn the Signal box??? That makes me so angrier that I could just scream!!! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! 😐😀🚂🚂🚂
Yes unfortunately
Another excellent production. Well done.👍
Very kind Rodger thank you
Fantastic route
It really is
@@TrekkingExploration the coastlines up that way are magnificent, we go regularly for a couple of nights. And I usually take myself off on onewheel, you seen these amazing devices?, for a ride along routes like this one, and then bus it back when the battery dies!
Pray and hope for the revitalisationof disused and abandoned railways.a real totourist maggnet!😊
Superb, so lovely not to see Graffiti on the bridges.
Great video, what a lovely section of line and its on my doorstep!
It really is. Thanks for watching
Quality. Was there on Saturday and I ended up getting a bit wet! Was well worth the views though.
Stunning isn't it? Cheers 🙂
brilliant is there a part 5
There will be indeed 😁
Hi Ant, Whats the music around the 4.40 minute mark. I cant get it out of my head 😀😀Im dredging my way through scotts back catalogue and cant find it . Its neither of the two you listed in your description.

Unfortunately no parents were interested in the railway, so although I’m old enough that I could have travelled this line, it didn’t happen, though I did go along the Esk valley to Whitby a number of times back in the day when all the points were mechanical and there were manned signal boxes (and platforms where the Sainsbury’s is in Whitby).
I would recommend Google Earth to all railway historians. Although tracks have been lifted, it’s almost always possible to see where they went. I’ve used this to look at all the defunct railways around Saltburn, Brotton, Guisborough, and Eston. Fascinating pieces of history.
Regarding the picture of the pier with the scaffolding again. Just to the right of the scaffolding, there appears to be a bloke perched on top of a high pole ! Any ideas folks ?
Perhaps the most stunning disused (by rail)one in Yorkshire but Ribblehead is the most stunning used one.There's another disused one near Tebay but I am not sure if that was in Yorkshire or Westmoreland before the 1974 tinkering with the English counties but it'll be in the modern Cumbria now.
Fantastic video mate, where did you get the old railway footage from?
good music
Thanks for watching Stephen 😌
A lot of these stations had camping coaches until the 1960s.
They could only reverse a loco-hauled train if it was no more than 2 coaches long with a brake van leading. After West Cliff closed the reversal took place at Prospect Hill junction.
