Loving the Channel Gents... also love the fact you get stuck in and walk the embankments and such like.... When you see others saying OH NO i may get a nettle sting it kinda defeats the objectives... Well done lads KEEP UP THE GOOD CONTENT
Sweet, childish memory.......As kids we decided to find the H&B line, so starting from Willerby we rode from where the station was and headed north west but quickly came to a halt due to private land sign and fencing. So we set off on a road in a north west direction for perhaps a mile, stopped and set up an old telescope we'd brought (as you do when you're kids) and looked across the fields towards where we thought the railway was. Incredibly I saw the 5 arch viaduct. With great excitement we rode towards it. Some walkers were being chased by a car across the viaduct, they'd ignored the sign. After the car drove away, we got onto the railway and soon rode into a deep chalk cutting. Then over a small road bridge then into another deep cutting. We arrived at a station and had no idea where we were. So we rode into the village, went into the shop and asked the shop keeper. Little Weighton. We lived on OPE and back at high school we learnt rather embarrassingly that it was common knowledge that we had found 5 arches located just beyond Cottingham. Strange twist: My wife and I started a training business in Rugby called Westfield training. If you click the logo you will see what we're up to now in Canada.
Never knew what a viaduct was till i stumbled across one near me, called fledborough viaduct oh my goodness they are beautiful in person, good old fashioned craftsmanship.
The Cannon St passenger terminus was plan B. The original terminus was to be in Kingston Square where the New Theatre stands but they ran out of money to reach the city centre which would have meant demolishing houses along the route. So as a stop gap they built a wooden station at Cannon St hoping to extend south when funds allowed.
The Springhead halt part.. until recently i would say around 5-10 years where summerbridge doors is now the other side of the banking was still there only the bridge was missing you can even go on google maps to see it but the whole area of anlaby shopping center was developed into a massive retail space during the 2010's taking part of it out and then that new part of summerbridge removed what was left so the part you say was dumped on the other side isnt right that mound has probably been there since the railway was built i used to play on it during the 80s riding my bike down it. Also the calvert lane bridge was actually still up until mid 2000's it got removed and houses built on one side but on the other side its partially still there and the tracks was still there leading up to the bridge last time i went maybe 10-15 years ago and probably still are now under the bushes ect nothing has changed in that area it's kind of a lost void. Agian if you go back in time on google maps you can see it all while it was up.
Brilliant Video as always i cannot wait until you reach stairfoot in barnsley my home and see all the hidden and disused lines one tunnel is buried my dad told me when walking along the old lines it was called the barnsley merry go round they could shut one line down but the trains would always get to where they wanted around barnsley i think you will love stairfoot when you get here pal HST TWO was going to come through stairfoot and im pretty sure through where the old tunnel is buried under the hill at the back of stairfoot the residents were worried about the noise the drilling would make buddy barnsley is a haven of old railway walks its brilliant lots of history and you will enjoy it thanks for the quality channel and videos realy educational interesting and most of all where we came from and what we are about

its interesing how such a major thing becomes covered over and blended into the surroundings and kinda of forgotten about.
Yeah it’s mad. Some areas there is no sign of the railway at all

Thanks for the info Rob. I can remember the bridges being in place in the 80’s
There’s a bridge on calvart land
The reminds of a bridge all the brick is left If you’d walk further down
Hello, yes we filmed the Calvert lane bridges but they didn’t make it into the edit.
@@ALWResearchTeam ah I see nonetheless great content!
Don't you just hate brambles?
The extra spikey ones are very troublesome!

Hi
I live down Springhead and I’m sure there’s a platform type structure near the waterworks. I’ll post a photo on instagram and tag you.
Hi Shaun, ooh yes thanks :)
