    A railway viaduct was constructed in 1790; the structure disappeared and was unearthed in a 2001 episode of the archaeology television programme Time Team.[11] The Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway is a scenic attraction rich in geological and historical interest. Blaenavon lost both of its passenger railway stations - Blaenavon High Level station closed in 1941, and the last train from Blaenavon (Low Level) (to Newport via Pontypool Crane Street) ran in April 1962. The lower line had already been closed for more than a year before the Beeching Axe took place. The lower line's passenger service was among many in Gwent (Monmouthshire) which Ministry of Transport de-classified papers reveal were axed because of rail congestion in the Newport area following the newly opened Llanwern steelworks.

      When you look at how tall that viaduct was, and how far down they had to dig just to get to the TOP of it, you realize how much rubble it took to bury it that deep. You couldn't possibly expose the entire thing--it would take a decade or more, even with those diggers. They basically filled up the entire valley: en-gb.facebook.com/Blaenavonindustrialpast/photos/the-buried-viaduct-in-the-field-between-the-garn-road-and-blaenavon-blues-the-vi/1634027743281360/

      Something that showed up in the 'related episodes' on the side (that I haven't had time to chase down yet) is something called American Time Team. They only list 2 4-part (8 shows?) episodes, but there may be more. Part of America's problem, though, is that we've tended to destroy past works as unimportant until fairly recently. A lot of times there's maybe a line in some unread tome, if that.

    I read below from James White " Normal, unpretentious people uncovering the vast history of the Isles" and from J Im "Part of the reason I love this show is the unapologetic glorification of total nerds and geeks" . The Tony, Phil, Mick era is some of the most wonderful television I've seen. It is the record of "a kind of magic" that occurs very rarely. The program doesn't stop at the entertainment and engagement it offers. It has been responsible for uncovering so much previously unknown information about the history of the UK (and sometimes other countries), a great investment and return. I am delighted to see John, Stewart, Carenza, Matt and the rest of the team members both old and new in new episodes ⭐

    This was particularly interesting to me as a few years back I discovered that there is an entire mining town buried near my home. Similar story although much more recent (1940s or so): when the mine area had been exhausted they needed to move about a half mile to a new deposit. They simply took anything worth reusing out of the homes and buried them (and an extensive rail system from the 1800s) in slag and rubble from the new mine. I've always been interested to know what the landscape used to look like before it was mined out and then buried, but only a couple sketches exist.

      This actually happened in Denmark some years ago allthough they discovered a bridge and not a viaduct.
      The railroad bridge dating from 1889 became in 1920 too narrow for the new type of tracks and it wasn’t posible to widen it so they barried it and lay the new tracks on top of the dam.
      Fast forward to about 2015 when a nature project meant that the dam had to leave an ingeneer remembered reading about this bridge and a project under the local county was established.
      And lo and behold, the bridge was 99.99% intact. About 400 kilos of steel needed changing.

    The time team has done another absolutely incredible job of locating a large piece of English history. Do we know why on earth it was buried.? and so deep. Perhaps it should be called Gobekli Tepe #3.It would be so good were able it to be restored to its former glory

    All I can think of when hearing viaduct is the Groucho and Chico Marx routine . Groucho is explaining viaduct to Chico and Chico keeps asking " Why a duck ?" sidesplitting repartee ensues.

    The most impressive hole ever dug by Time Team and proof of their faith and skill (and desperation) I believe. Local knowledge is always helpful (mostly). I agree with many of the comments below.

      I would be done with the series if the number of commercials did not exceed that of normal TV. Oh wait... I said that wrong.
      I would be done with the series if it had fewer commercials than regular TV.
      Just a mere 15 minutes, and there were 5 breaks for commercials!!!! Nope. Too much for me.

    • @ColtGColtG
      @ColtGColtG 3 года назад +6

      thats the problem EH has to sort any time they approve a dig. They used to panic so hard about destroying potential future sites that they had insane regulations that they have since relaxed. If you see an early TT episode Carenza freaks out over some GeoPhys results and forces a hard stop on trench plans until an EH exec came out to authorise anything. wasting most of the time they had. I say wasted becasue when the exec came out, she was upset that she was called out just on GeoPhys and they hadn't done any preliminary light digging to verify there was something to the GeoPhys.
      EH regs though were so strict, at the time, that Carenza was terrified she would lose her job with EH if anything was damaged becasue the GeoPhys was pretty damn clear that there was a roman villa on site. Like it was a perfect outline.
      But man was literally everyone on site pissed at her, Including the county archeologist who normally has the power to authorise digs and themselves are part of EH and was trying to get it through her head to calm down, that light trench work was perfectly called for and routine to verify results. but again she was terrified and threw her full weight as EH rep for the dig around.

So this is only 5 or 6 km from my ancestral home I would think, quite possibly had ancestors working the mine.
