Does this Abandoned Railway have a future? In this railway walk I continue my journey along the Leek to Stoke railway line and ask the question, what future does this railway line have? It could become part of the National Rail Network again, or even a Heritage Railway Extension? Lastly it could become a Greenway. What do you think?

Wow loved this one Ant 👍🏻it’s amazing how much history is still in place if you know where to look…Victorian engineering at its finest
Lee , that was fantastic thank you . The more modern replica buildings look like EA river flow gauges . Maybe. I enjoy all your incredible trips - keep on going. Your excellent mate. Rgds Mike
Has anyone been here it’s well good
Some of those high embankments and bridges with missing railings look potentially dangerous!
This was the biggest mistake made to cut the railway network. Instead of cutting lines they should have been expanded so that everywhere was linked up with the railways. We would now be able to commute to all areas.
Thanks for the beautiful video. The drone footage really adds to the production.
Stunningly beautiful place.Would love to travel back in time and see the three wheels in action.
Great vid and explore, what a cracking little find, bit unusual to have twin wheels?? needs a bit of work though🤔
Great video Ant as usual ,have been a few times myself when the vegetation wasn't so over grown , lovely place cheers
Getting Neverending Story vibes from your Sheep/Dragon log😂
Yes that's exactly what I thought when I was describing it 😂
Another fascinating video. Beautiful old buildings and water scenery - and I quite agree with you about the resting sheep!! The huge mount of plants around the mill - were they Gunnera (giant rhubarb) or related to it?
Fantastic, Ant. Crying out to be renovated! But it's quite interesting like that!
It's a lovely little place isn't it?
@@TrekkingExploration yes Ant!
Based on the fact it became a “saw mill”, I suspect the two concrete blocks would have been used to support an external drive pulley that would have allowed them to run an “external” bandsaw or similar cutting tool to cut the wood in its “second” life.
Fascinating stuff.
Thanks for watching
Fascinating piece of exploration. The buildings appear in a good state of preservation - including window glass - although the water wheels and associated machinery look sadly neglected - perhaps beyond repair. On the Derbyshire Heritage Mills website they are referred to as Sheldon Mills, with a very brief description and map reference. There are many other mills listed - so maybe some worth a visit. Excellent video. Thank you.
Fascinating explore, enjoyed watching that, thanks 👍
Glad you enjoyed it thankyou
Another excellent video Ant I really enjoyed this one.
Glad to hear it John thank you
I went there a couple of years ago, superb quiet place, surprising how things have grown
I'd like to go back in winter to see the diffrence
@@TrekkingExploration It was December 2022 when we went, I wouldn't mind going back to take another look. I took quite a few photos
About a mille up the river is the out fall from Magpie mine which is around 2/3 miles above on the hill you used to be able to see it of A6 which drains the mine maybe something for you to explore the pillars are maybe a line shat to take power to other buildings
Castleton Mount Tor Road OLD A 625 GOOD WALK UP TO THE TOP
Found a bit of info on this and it was known as Ashford bobbin mill. After using it as a bone crushing mill it was used as a timber mill making bobbins for the cotton trade at Cressbrook and Litton with the local ash wood
I found information on Ashford Mill although it was on another Mill in Ashford in the Water
@@TrekkingExploration I saw that mill too,that one is fully restored and has accommodation for you to stay there,looks alright as well. I googled shacklow mill and then went to Report - - Ashford Bobbin Mill - Derbyshire : March 2023 a bit further down the page and lots of detail was there.
Could anyone tell me what music is used? It's awesome and inspirational and I really like to listen to the full songs to get some ideas from.
If i remember its all or mostly by a composer Scott Buckley. Google him it''ll bring up his website. I'm sure one track on there is Machinary of the Stars. One of my favourites.
@@TrekkingExploration Awesome! Thank you very much! I've bookmarked him and subscribed to his channel. Do you happen to know what's the track starting at around 6:23 as well? That is SO spooky, eerie and fitting to the shots. But yeah, I accidentally stumbled upon your channel, and then got inspired both by the video *and* the choice of music of this particular one. :) Thank you!
Very interesting, although I feel badly for the third wheel. And is Ashford actually in the water?
Its a peculiar village name with only the river flowing through
That was absolutely amazing. Could do with some TLC. Could be made to look so much better. What a beautiful piece of history that was. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care
Thank you very much! Its a lovely little spot it wouldnt take much to improve the exteriour
Another great series, thanks Ant.
Glad you enjoyed it Jon
GREAT PRESENTATION.
Glad you liked it! I need to go back and carry this route on further
That was a classic, Ant. That beautiful little area should be properly maintained (and hopefully at least partly restored) as it is a real treasure.
Thanks Jim. It looks to be in good condition really
@@TrekkingExploration think there was volunteers that tried to restore it but i was told that one of the huge concrete blocks outside had moved so making it not to be able to run again 🤤
I had heard at one stage that going into the tunnel was one of the seven Dudley Sins.
I wonder what the other 6 are?
@@TrekkingExploration I dunno know take a guess
I've walked past the mills a few times with walking groups, but never had time for a good look around. Magpie Mine slough is very nearby upstream though the famous mine works are way up and over the hill! Nice video.
Magpie Mine is one place i have yet to visit. I bet thats lovely for a sunrise
Wonderful location & images!
Thank you for watching 🙂
Hello Ant - Why are you following / crossing the River Wye??? He he - sorry bad joke 😄🚂🚂🚂
Wye did you do that? 😂🤗😂
Very nice video that place must have been amazing when it was in running operation it would have been cool to see it running I can only imagine my head what it would have been like seeing all those parts moving and everything it's cool that she'll stand and it's still there for everybody to check out
That would have been really nice and noisy at the same time. I'll go back in winter for less foilage and hopfully flowing water
Great Vid Ant ... Water wheel looks very interesting with the gear around it driving the cog, Not seen hat before !! Thanks for sharing.
Its an interesting little spot isnt it? Thanks for watching :)
I do like a nice watermill. Thanks for sharing this one Ant. Would they not also have used powdered bone in the production of bone china?
Thankyou. Yes quite possibly
foreshortening they call it in art Ant, and you seem to have the artist imagination that sees comparisons in everything, as in a poet using metaphor. Much Better than a dry geological scientist using facts and figures! Boring. yawn, yawn. Some of these places would make beautiful cafe's for walkers.
It would make a nice conversion into something wouldnt it? Then also getting an exterior restoration
Interesting Ant. They look to be undershot wheels, the water parts are known as buckets, blades or paddles. Thanks and take care.
Oh good Paddles was a good guess then :)
I can see a wonderful restoration project here 😮 if only 😢😊
It would absolutly be amazing to see a future conversion, restoration
Commented on fb. But here’s a comment for the algorithm gods.
Very kind. Thankyou for watching
Thanks to Ant for another great watch. That would not be good place to walk around in the dark --- talk about slips, trips and falls.....
I agree i was being very cautious underfoot
@@TrekkingExploration Thats good to hear, we would hate to see you in a video with a couple of crutches and a cast on your leg............ OUCH
Wonderful so interesting
Thanks for watching
Brilliant explore. So much to see. Filming excellent so informative. Thank you Ant. Another fab. Documentary.
Thanks so much Shirley. It was a nice little place to go
Do you know if that's the original water wheel Ant
I believe all 3 are
@@TrekkingExploration Great peace of engineering are them wheels Ant built to last
Great video. What do you use for handheld camera work?
Mostly a GoPro
@@TrekkingExplorationcool thank you
I randomly discovered this mill on a circular route starting at magpie mine.
I need to go to Magpie Mine
Thanks Ant.😂
Thanks very much for watching
Cheddleton Mill near Leek in Staffordshire is well worth a visit. I believe another bone grinder for the Potteries. On the Cauldon Canal.
I was up there not long ago too. I'll get onto that today as i need to go back to Leek at some point too
Also in Leek there is the water mill on the main Macclesfield Road, literally 0.5 mile out of town. When I lived in North Staffordshire I visited many industrial and transport historical sites. I use gliders and light aircraft to explore disused aviation , transport and industrial sites. I live in Essex now. Been flying and gliding 57 years. John.FAI/BGA 51417.
Correction to Cheddleton Water Mills. They were flint Mills. The water mill in Leek itself is called the Brindley Mill where James Brindley served part or whole of his apprenticeship. I believe they ground corn. Nearby are former silk Mills like the adjacent towns of Congleton and Macclesfield. In Stoke-on-Trent in a place called Etruria named after a place in Italy is the Etruscan Bone Mill. Regards John.
Pppps! The Etruscan Mill situated at the junction of the Cauldon Canal and the Trent and Mersey Canal ground flint and bone and was steam powered. Kind regards. John.
Another good vid 👌 ant almost eery in a way
Thanks very much Matt
Ant! I know how much you love the peak district and would love for you to do the back road from Eyam to Grindkeford, we used to live in Eyam and use the road all the time. Not sure how long it has been closed but it has been quite a few years from what i am told. They closed it to cars because of erosion. Thank you for the great work you do.
the stone pillars for a pulley wheels
Thanks for watching Robin :)
Thanks!
Very kind Phil thanks very much indeed 😃
