The buried canal marvel you’ve probably never heard of and two beautiful tunnels  

I’m grateful to you for making these videos. You show us places we’re never going to see. That’s the fascinating thing about them. So I think we would all agree a big thank you for sharing them with us all and long may it continue. Cheers Andy.

Great explore, those shots of the reflection in the tunnel are amazing.

What a fascinating video and I'm always amazed by what these people could achieve without modern technology and tools . Thanks Steve and the gang 👍👍

Cool stuff dude, great info, as always 👍 and summer is near 👌

Awesome upload thank you, I love seeing n hearing information about the engineering works and history of them, the visualisation of those past men is astounding. Here in NZ are heading into our winter so I am feeling bit envious of your expectation with your summer beginning and I hope it’s a beautiful one. Kind regards from expat Rob

Another great video Steve. You share the same enthusiasm for industrial history as the late great Fred Dibnah.

this was so interesting, i really appreciated all the history, thank you

Crackin noseh! Really interesting thanks! If you enjoy canal tunnels, you need to walk Netherton Tunnel... although a little off area :)

Great Video Steve, loving the history. The drone shots are lovely also :)

Cant beat a bit of Canal Action. Disused or Abandoned, even better. With tunnels better still ! Lovely day there mate, spring birds, bells...gets u revved up for some summer action ! I need to go and do a status report on the Portal we keep mooting.

Great explore thanks for sharing.

Nah then, ey up me duck. I love canals and love tunnels so this was a particularly interesting one fer me. Love your enthusiasm as always me owd, another clouter. Ay a good'un 👍🙂

It's been a very long time (c1979) since friends and I took a narrow boat along the North Oxford Canal and stopped for a pint - or two - at Newbold-on-Avon. Thanks for the video. One of the reasons for increased costs between the 18th/19th/early 20th centuries is the increase in bureaucracy, planning permissions, "health and safety", the environment etc.

Our canals need protecting at all costs

I have only just found your Chanel Steve and how interesting it is well done mate love it, I actually work on the midlands canals including ones around your area in the past originally for British waterways and now as a CRT contractor I was hedgecutting on the Oxford a couple of months ago from Coventry out to napton and flecknoe. So much stuff on and around canals Keep at it mate.

Yes summers .... Nearly here 🎉 Lovely day there Steve and gang !! When is your band in Loughborough this year Steve, if so what pub ? 👍

Thanks for the vid, theres a nice offset bridge in Newton aswell which is on the other side of Rugby. Now the weathers nice its good for noseying just ask my neighbor... lol

Great video Steve, fantastic photos 👍Did you get chance to climb up the old castle mound,?

What an amazing structure Steve. Why do you think it all got buried. I wonder if those responsible for burying it had any historical feelings and misgivings.

Hi guys i was in that Brinklow arch section only the other weekend with my daughter we put some old bottles we found in there on the back wall to the old section. The second arch you found is what i though was well hidden you done well to find it, known about it since i were a lad is my next arch to investigate with my daughter very soon after some years. Im a local in Brinklow and i have a channel for kayaking on youtube, added a few video and started properly editing after the land slip occured you can see my video if you search for - Kev the brinklow kayaker I am surprised you didn't visit the old arm that you showed on google earth screen shot in brinklow where you said the arches were. I have a lot of 100year old local pictures. Canal routed around the back of broad street crossing twice some canal still remains. Old arm near to newbold is where the canal cut off to route round to the old newbold tunnel in the grave yard. So much more 😅 to tell. Have fun. Kev the brinklow kayaker

Hello buddy. As you're a Leicester lad, you must have heard of the Brush in Loughborough? If so there's a large meadows near the Brush where the 11 arches are near Stamford on Soar, and there is a lovely old walk through tunnel that goes underneath one of the arches & when you get to the other side you come to a really classic old bridge that goes over the river soar, it's a brilliant spot tbh, we take the kids there sometimes & have a cook up outdoors. There's some history about that rail line also, it was basically built to shunt coal & gyp rock from the British Gypsum in East Leake to Loughborough & also Ruddington going the other way from East Leake. You could look more in to all that, but it'd be great to see you do a RU-vid review on this mate, you'll love that little area under the tunnel walk also, it's really nice there. And there's a bit by the river which is nice to just relax at as you go across the old bridge i told you about. You can also walk across another white metal bridge and walk out of the field and it leads in to Stamford on Soar which is a lovely old village & it has Stamford Hall there incase you wanted to stop off for a cuppa and a piece of cake or a sandwich etc. Would you consider doing a review on this? Would make a good bit of content. 🤝
