Hi Andy, I have family who live in Ollerton. I moved away during the pit strike back in 1984. We still visit but not as offtern as I would like. My Parent's got married at the church in the circle in December 1963 but sadly no longer with us now. I went to the Whinney lane infants school and then onto Dukeried Comprehensive. Which had a farm and tennis courts and a athletics track and about 4 football pitches and the indoorswimming pool . Back then I didn't relied how lucky we we're to have these faculties. My Grand parents lived on Oak Avenue which was 2 minute walk from the high street.
Hi Andy Wow a fantastic video.. Well done.. So many things of interest to see,including lots of amenities. Schools churches Information of former colliers .. river Ect. Thsnks
More interesting than I thought it would be. Most picturesque around the old town, watermill & river. A beautiful pumping station. I have visited but hadn't seen many of the better bits.
@TheVillageIdiot bring it on, I'll make sure I've got plenty of tea and snacks for en route. Thank you again for putting the route in the video. Can't wait
Never realized the station was still there, it's hidden deep within some trees. From above you can see where the old sidings were and there looks to be an engine shed. I think the other pumping station is probably better known than Boughton, I'm guessing it's towards Nottingham.

This walk took me longer than Newarks did, oddly too
Gonna do this route tomorrow, thank you for this amazing video and keep up the good work brother
The exact route? You'll need a good pair of shoes. 4 hours!
