I don't know many of the places you take us to but this time is an exception, we stayed in the cottage next to Stainsby Mill (excellent volunteer guides) and walked up Mill Lane as far as it went, didn't venture any further - wish I had now!!!!! Thanks Ant for filling in the rest of it👍👍👍
Fascinating little exploration. I was up there earlier in the year visiting Hardwick Hall & Stainsby Mill. The mill particularly is an absolute delight & well worth a visit.
Very nice Victoriana bridge and not so nice concert culvert. Very bad underfoot, snow looks better on a Christmas card in my experience 😅. Thanks for the video stay safe 👍
The old heath church is a lovely little place i don`t know what is happening to the house across from it its been empty a while now. Great video looking forward to more. 👍👍👍
That church yard is actually part of the former village of Lund. A village that was abandoned in medieval times. Did a video on it myself a while back ua-cam.com/video/VhLR3s5GaX0/v-deo.htmlsi=GNS-mA2ajd1-5lvC
There's an even better old lamppost on the other side of Church Lane where the road is up to Twin Oaks, they were cottages for the old Ramcroft colliery, the lamppost is on the entrance to the colliery Regarding the derelict house near the old Heath church, one of the Roly Poly's lived in that a few years ago.
Hs2 was originally planned to plough through that abandoned house and the church ruins, it would also cut off both the entrance and exit to Hardwick Hall.
You can still smell the old coalite place when it rains and the wind is in the right direction over at clowne. I do like how they have cleaned the site up from what it was but i think it will be many years before the lingering smell will disappear.
the person responsible was the transport minister at the time who also had contruction companies so not only was he responsible for the moterways and the beeching report also in his interest. he was found out later and fled to momaco
If you look closely at the bridge, you can see ww ll either prisoners of war or I believe Canadian/ American solders names inscribed along the top of the walls. The turning section you mentioned was actually the road past Twin Oaks hotel / ( Ram Croft collery houses) to Palterton . The old house was where my doctor lived . Unfortunately theres a sad story to that goes along with this house , which i won'tgo into on here .
Is that the bridge on the old Mill Lane. If there are names there I'm sure they'd be names of the Airborne soldiers based at Hardwick Camp. That would be Dr Singh you mention.

Thank you, driven round there many times and never knew that existed!

I quite like the 3D "doe lea" word sculpture that appears and disappears as you approach it from the motorway junction.
Yes it's rather unique isn't it?

Thanks for watching 🙂
Hi there
We have the same situation in Gloucestershire in several places. Caroline.
I didn't realise about this - There must be 100's of Roads along the entire length of the M1 (& other Motorways) which has been 'cut off'!!! 😉🚂🚂🚂
Yes it's quite interesting isn't it?

Chuff me, you've finally got to Heath. How the chuff have i missed you when I walk these lanes regularly ?
Ha ha this was done on Wednesday last week
Even old abandoned roads are interesting !! … Were the circular tunnels built for their strength ?
Am I right in believing that the girls from Stainsby love the Rolling Stones? 😎
I volunteer at Stainsby Mill and old Mill Lane is used as a 'meeting' place nowadays, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more!!
Ant, so much history---so little time. You sure have a nose for sniffing out interesting bits of history that others overlook.

Fly-tipping. Why ?????????
Pathetic isn't it. Thank you for watching
The old 617 coming up to motorway there was a man killed by a truck that was delivering produce for the motorway
