144 - Exploring The Forgotten & Abandoned Newport Canal | Norbury Junction To Wappenshall Junction
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- Today me and mum finally get to explore the lost and forgotten Newport canal which ran from Norbury Junction on the Shropshire Union to Wappenshall Junction where it joined the Shrewsbury Canal. Built-in 1835 with the purpose of linking the Shrewsbury canal to the rest of the canal network, it was abandoned in 1944. We explore abandoned locks, bridges, aqueducts and even visit a surviving stretch of the Newport canal.

Great video. I grew up in Newport and was lucky enough to have the canal as my childhood playground. Particularly the section west of the town bridge. I am so please that plans are afoot to preserve the very valuable history that is such a huge part of our social a d economic growth. Thank you for showing me parts of the Newport branch of the canal that I've never accessed.
For me, this has been your most interesting video so far. I never even knew it was there. Great field research and a special hat's off to your Mum for fighting her way through all the undergrowth.
Hi, guys I just started watching your videos a week ago & I am really enjoying your content. I used to live close to the old Shrewsbury canal & spent many hours walking the toe path around Uffington & back towards the town. Hopefully one day it will be restored . Lock 6 just blow my mind those gates are incredible. what a find. All the best Happy boating 👍❤
What an amazing insight. I've always been intrigued as to what remnants of the canal were left!
Love the history you are showing us quite amazing
Glad you enjoyed it Caroline 👍
That was an amazing history lesson you have taken us on its certainly remarkable how those lock gates have managed to servive the course of time. I really enjoyed your little rambling expedition 😎😎😎
Thanks John watch out for the next one we explore the Shrewsbury canal which is just as wonderful 😀
Lovely walk where you could along the Newport canal. It would lovely if they restored it. They're either on private land or built over like the ones in the south.
I know it would be great if all the old canals were restored and we could cruise Olive.
I’ve cruised that stretch so many times but never seen that so thanks so much Josh for sharing it … amazing drone footage too - thank you 😃
Thanks Heidi the next vlog is on the Shrewsbury canal which is lovely as well. Its such a shame we can't cruise Olive up there. Take care xx
Great to see you and your Mum spending quality time together exploring the old canal network. Been watching your channel for a while now and love the unedited family relationship you guys have. From a fellow Taylor to a Taylor. Keep up the vlogs, and don't change anything about the content other than more more more.
Thanks Glyn what a lovely comment. Josh and I do have a good relationship we must get on well as we are always going on long 4 to 5 mile walks most days to keep fit and lose weight. It would be lovely if Andy could join us but he has bad knees. Josh is starting to put 3 vlogs a week again so hopefully you enjoy 😉
love your vid. Keep up the great work
Thanks Robert many more to come.
Loved this one. I’m not into history but there was still something for everyone . The drone footage was superb.
If you liked this one Helen you will enjoy the latest one on the Shrewsbury canal. Glad you enjoyed it.
@@darkmatterxi I’ll watch later xx
That was quite wonderful to see, thanks for taking us to see it. It's amazing and sad what was there and all of the history that is now covered up. Your drone shots are fantastic and it's interesting that even in places where the canal is filled in, you can still make out the outline.
I understand that it is nice to use the tripod part of the time while you're talking and it can be effective. However, it is then necessary to remember to continue to face the camera, speak more loudly and especially to not turn your back to look at what you're telling us about because we can't hear you well at all. The other thing is that when you're standing at a certain point telling us about something , like the aqueducts, could you please pan the camera around and show them to us? It is kind of strange otherwise. It's the same thing when you're on the boat and mention something you're going by but don't turn the camera to show us. That being said, it's still a great vlog, thank you.
Thanks for the advice.
How amazing this could be if it was restored.
I know it would be wonderful to cruise Olive down there.
Absolute a topper of a video!
Thanks Leon we appreciate that lovely comment 😀
@@darkmatterxi we all need the good Lucky on ourself and the (narrow boat side) some times in the moast for important and special. But some in the while it is Just not, as Josh spoken. Please keep happynes on good healty and soladarity in the famaly. Big plus!
@@leonvanschaick5004 thanks Leon you take care x
Lovely video Josh.
Thanks glad you liked it.
How amazing if this were to be restored
Yes it would be great 👍
This is fab , some archive footage would have been good but I appreciate film-archive footage is expensive so perhaps not
Thank you glad you enjoyed 😉, I didn't want to risk copyright 👍
IVE DONE VOLUNTEER WORK AT WAPPENSHALL FOR TWO YEARS , CUTTING THE GRASS . DIGGING , REPAIRING THE LOCK GATES. AND THIS IS HOW I GOT MY MEDAL FROM OUR QUEEN ELIZABETH 11, WHICH YOU CAN SEE ON THE LEFT OF YOUR SCREEN. INTERESTING VIDEO DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE VIDEO IN WAPPENSHAL I LIKE TO VIEW IT AND I HAVE SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR CHANNEL.
I don’t want to worry you Diane but l think you had been spotted l could hear a helicopter in the background.Maybe swap your pink coat for some camouflage 😂Fabulous video must be great fun doing the exploring.
I think I should change my coat definitely. Its a bit bright, the trouble is I love bright colours. I do have a green one maybe where that next time. But it is bright green lol 😆
