- Hello, and welcome out on another stomp.
The village of Little Eaton sits on the River Derwent, just on the outskirts of the city of Derby, in the East Midlands.
The Derwent Valley was the home of the Industrial Revolution, with the mills sat on the river. now forming a world heritage site.
We start off at the site of a little know railway spur that came off the main Derby to Sheffield line, and into Peckwash Paper Mill.
The mill survives as a private residence, and thankfully, several remains of the short railway line, once the site of a train disaster in 1900, are preserved too.
After looking at the mill and railway. we explore the former workers cottages before heading into the once great quarries of Little Eaton, where we discover the remains of a 250 year old bridge, locally known as 'The Jaws of Hell'.
We then head into the centre of the village to look at the remains of the midland railway through Little Eaton, the 18th century Little Eaton gang road, and the once great Derby Canal basin and Outrams Wharf.
We finish the circular walk, not far from Peckwash Mill, at St Alkmund's Church, and the grave of the greatest football manager in history, Brian Clough.

Im 45 and i always watch ducks. Only had swans as a kid to visit. 😂 Runner ducks are hilarious.
Love this. Feels so comforting that lads (and lads of) of my generation care about this stuff! Keep going, and thanks!
Love uncovering history. That bridge was epic.
Fantastic video, lots to uncover in such a small and seemingly unassuming area. Not bad when a mill is turned into a sole private residence 😮 I'm no football fan but I remember Cloughie and his no nonsense approach, I expect I read about it on my paper round , ah the good ole days.
"nettles, my favourite word" made me laugh 😅
Thank you, Gareth, Phil, Andy, and Jake, for giving us a walk to enjoy. Like to see when you guys smile :)
And also, I like the music used in these videos - something I’d like to listen to more. Who writes it? Steven in Dallas
Thank you. Called Traveling by Angel Salazar.
Thank you 🌳
Thanks guys for the video - the visit to Brian Clough's grave topped it all for me. Cheers to you and cheers to Cloughie.
Amen.
Awesome video as always hope you Phil and gang well 😊😊❤❤❤
@LadySophieofHougunManor7325 we're great thanks! Glad you liked
Looking forward to it.
Another great walk. For the future, more caves would be cool if there are any more you haven't already explored.
You'll love the next video in that case!
Brilliant video mate, hats off to you for the climb down to see the bridge
Totally worth it mate!
That was a great vid Gareth, those photos of the train crash were, great and the story behind it. Great touch at the end to regarding Brian Clough, I regularly watch interviews he did. I think BIG PHIL was desperately wanting to tell everyone how much Man City FC have dominated and won when you pair were having your banter! Oh and I ain’t a mill expert BIG PHIL lol
@LeiceExplore cheers mate. Those two are always bantering about footie. As a Derby fan, I keep my head down!
@@IckeWalks I’m sure the Rams will be back in the big time within the next 5 years, or before. A club like that.
Mr P as you are somewhat of a Culvert king you will know more about a Mill Race then me !
@@IckeWalks Correction, Gareth, Andy is always trying to wind me up about Man Citys recent ' financial iregularaties' but i dont bite ! Anyway, Ste's mob have just got back up so now we all wait for the return of the Rams then the banter can really begin !
@@gilesestram haha! Well in my next vid I’m getting all excited about cullys buddie!
Great video Gaz, and what a real hidden gem! I'd love to visit Brian Clough's grave, being a long time Forest fan. May do that when we visit Derby again. (My foster daughter lives in the California area of Derby) I'm a proud owner of a birthday card signed by Brian himself!
Ah I used to live in New Zealand area.
@@IckeWalks Uttoxeter New road area
If you’re looking for industrial places try around Swadlincote area. Loads of old railway infrastructure ,potteries & coal mining history to be found
@@richardmiller6828 thanks mate! Will do!
@@IckeWalks a good walk is follow the old railway line from Swains park up to Measham. Right up your street … loads of bridges, buildings & remnants .
Check it out on rail maps on line
Graham from g tech has ripped Your into/ interlude music for the latest advert... I prefer walking to hoovering to be honest and g tech scream's masonry ..."G"... tech with his quick rise, white shirt and suspect sponsorships... aside from my rant, great vid & I liked the Nottingham cemetery one too
@LewisS3w cheers mate.
Great content as usual Gareth... have you heard of the Quinthillshill railway disaster
I haven't!
May 22nd 1916 just outside Gretna Green considered the worst railway disaster in British history
