    You guys are simply amazing , most of us would just trample through there and think it was just a wasteland with no history , thanks for keeping the history books open to new evidence .

    Fantastic, well done lads! Love to see you all exploring our history, and getting out and about together. Keep going! I've just watched the episodes where you and Phil said you'd come back to the area around this time for better visibility, great to join the dots. Looking forward to part two!

    Gareth, you need to invest in a pair of good walking boots!
    As you have had issues with broken leg bones I would go for ones that support the ankle. I speak from experience ie broken leg bones. 🤣Yeah, expensive but the best investment I ever made re walking different terrains.
    If you use ‘Dubbin wax’ on them regularly, they will last for quite a few years.
    Another great video. 👍

    Hayup Gareth an Co, fantastic this that three arch viaduct utilizeing an earlier measurement it's between 2 to 3 Phil,s tall.
    That incline plain tub system if it's got a lower anchorage point could it be part of an endless rope haulage system? If there's two channels or corridors?
    There was a clamp device, rather like mole grips that'd attach to a cable an pull a tub up, so if you had a couple of blokes going down who had atleast two meat an potato pies at lunch time that'd pull a tub of clay up! They'd then walk back up burning off the calories! an the additional wages would Pay for the Pies!
    It created the perfect cycle of sustainability being that it was endless.
    I'm not fully up to speed with the jargon so apologies but when does a culvert sease to be a culvert if it ever does? an becomes summit else?
    From memory years ago I've seen what I'd describe as a bridge over a small river with an embankment on top of it, so larger than a stream or brook an not a full brick construction but a brick arch then embankment an tracks a top, I'm going have to go see if it's as I recall.
    rather like that when does a bridge become a tunnel quandry perhaps?
    Good filming Gareth we actually get to see the structures bridges an viaducts, liking how the dog sensed Party danahh I'm here too.
    Cheers to All.

      River Tunnel that's self explanatory ain't it, an here's me thinking I'd discovered something big!
      At what point does it sease to be a Culvert an becomes a river tunnel is it the size of water or the naturalness of the bed as in river bed over brick runway with angled sides, there kinda like a sluice hah.
      I've got a challenge for you Gareth an Steve
      I came across today a film on the tube, called Transport Films of the 1950s uploaded by Nigel Birch, at time stamp 2.38 there's a Castellated entrance to the Wood head Tunnel, then if you go to a film on the tube, called Poem for a Pigeon music video by Shiey, at time stamp 0.56 and 1.32 there's also tunells with Castellated entrances..
      So the challenge is can you find a tunnel disused of course semi buried in undergrowth that's got a Castellated entrance?!
      I guess there ought to be a prize err 1 st prize a pair of Wellies each, an third prize garden camping in the new forest with wood burning cookers available close to a pub an less than a mile from Breamore station etc,
      Cheers

    • @alfaubrom

      Hello Steve I wondered if you've ever come across a Castellated Tunell entrance that's on a disused railway, in the U.K.
      I've made references to two utube uploads with time stamps, in the above comment to Gareth.
      I'm curious as to very similar styles of construction both here and abroad especially in connection to the Railways, in France there's quite a few horse shoe tunnel entrances, with big stones like older networks of England.
      Those tubs you've found I imagine there will be a trade catalogue for cast an forged wheels an axles with styles an company initials or marks of a maker that'd help date stuff, the chassis an tubs can be tricky I guess as each mining or railway group had such skilled an capable workshops they'd make anything but I reckon they'd buy the wheels an axles in.?
      I heard Fred Dibnah saying when he was building his mine shaft that 18 inch an 2 foot was common for incline plain endless rope haulage systems an gravity was often used, talking of gravity in the upload titled Transport Films from the 1950s at time stamp 10.56 it's got brilliant footage of whitemoor shunting I was impressed by that particularly the guy running to apply the brakes, I wouldn't mind a go at that, probably only get it wrong the once!
      Good colab this.
      I kinda collect tools an I once saw a plate with a big lever an mole clamp with a circular affair with sleeves for different sizes, I figured as cool as it was I wasn't really needing it, but the chap said it's to attach tubs to cabling to lower via gravity?!
      Cheers

    With the square Newbold Brick brick chimney preservation it may be worth looking in to the deeds of the land as at some point they may after it seeased industrial use, have had its maintenance factored in to a dilapidation order so any previous tenants where obliged to look after its structural integrity, an even though present owners renters leases if it falls under such a circumstance of ownership or stewardship, they may not have looked? or certainly not want anyone to know, that they could be responsible for its upkeep an preservation after all?!
    Just a thought I had to back off renting a massive shop complex once as it was left in a delapidated state by a long term estate agent of all things an any new tennant would have inherited the fifty odd years of neglect, an delapidation! I pointed it out an it was unrentable until they got it enulled an persued the last tennant.
    Just a daft thought that may be worth checkin if there's a local society involved in saving it!
    Cheers.
