Part of the reason I love videos from creators like you is that you treat the subject with a sort of dignity. No need for "majestic" music or over-enthusiastic voice overs...the subject is intriguing enough. You are doing a great service to the heritage of 19th and 20th century English Industrial history with these videos.
Those tubs that you mentioned were part of a rifle range, you stand on the tubs,at that time their was a wooden roof over the tubs and a shelf half way up to rest on, the tubs are facing long ways that's the way you shoot no trees then just a bank of spoil and a wall of sleepers, beyond that was a rail line where they used to pull 5 rail coal wagons to the top of mapperly plains coal yard by wire rope,tip em then send them back down , that cut out that you mentioned was the stock yard for empty and full rail wagons , it looks small now with all the trees but I would say about 8 lines went in their in its day, it used to be my playground when I was a kid , good ole days eh ! Cheers Dave A
Nice one Team. I came here a couple of weeks ago.... seemingly very foggy throughout! When I got to the stack, looking back at the portal it was a faint blur.
Hello there. The railway cutting does work very well as a cold sink so it’ll hold the mist. I hope your shots came out well and I’ll look forward to watching it.
Hi there bud thanks alot for the footage of the disused underground, very interesting things you said, the blue brick has to been the strongest that was used to build those magnificent tunnels. There is also one under Thurland Street, with the craziness going on decided to watch these, you gave a more detailed view, its a real shame these couldn't have been revamped for an underground tram system. It is possible with the markers it could be under planning who knows. excellent footage 💯
@@ALWResearchTeam Much appreciate mate :) also I have a link of potential future routes, is shown on a tram site if you would like the link. They hope to revamp/refurbish the tunnels and run trams to Arnold via Sherwood, Sneinton via City Hospital to Bestwood and not forget Gedling if you would like the link to see it? 💯
Hello Eddie K, it certainly was a wonder to look at. The tunnel was in great condition. It’s such a shame that they are left to deteriorate. Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
@@ALWResearchTeam ah cool, they both seem like really good lights. Is that what it's actually called then, a death ray? I've got to get me one of them purely for the range and the level of brightness
@@ALWResearchTeam Fair enough. I've been postponing this place waiting for you guys after you said you'd give me a shout that's all, lol. Guess I can go there now.
apologies, only got back from Germany on Friday and went here on Saturday, edited last night and posted. The tunnel has been sealed for a long while and there has been access again recently, Ant invited me on saturday morning, i grabbed my camera and went.

Thank You very much indeed
They are called sleeper chairs into which the rail is fitted and securely locked in

The metal things that the rail sits on are called Rail Chairs big shout out to Ant.
Excellent video by the way loved it 👍👍
Thanks for the info and for your nice comment. I really enjoyed filming this one
I concur, they often have a year stamp on them too, well they do over LNER region
Probably one of the best videos of Mapperley Tunnel yet.
Thank you very much Sir.
I was there yesterday they fix the Fences so there is no hole anymore
A great video mate
Thank You
The rails were located in CHAIRS which were secured to the sleepers.
Ahh. Thank You very much indeed
That sure is neat that they put that gap right there in that fence lol😮😊🖖🏼🏍🍺
Very helpful indeed! It’s been like that for a few weeks but not sure how long it’ll stay like that.
Good video and explore,
It must have been an amazing tunnel in it's day.
An unbelievable amount of rubbish and backfill !! ...
😀👍

Do you have a link for that torch at all?
Ants death ray? I don’t I’m afraid.
I use a Olight seeker 2

Went in here today but what is beyond the infill?
WE go behind the infill and it looks like more and more pushed in from the other portal
natural selection from nature at work here, this tunnel wasnt meant to be, nature decided that
Hi Dave :)
It sure is a mess in there. Thanks for watching and commenting:)
wouldnt take much to take all that rubble and shit away. get t'other end of t'tunnel
If only :) we went round the stack and the tunnel had been backfilled with rubble to the ceiling unfortunately
What happened to the invite?
Hi GTR, Ant invited me so it wasn't my place to invite others, sorry. This wasn't the intended explore either.

The amount of infrastructural waste in this country never ceases to infuriate me
Could have easily been recycled too.
