Join me as we explore the different sections of the abandoned Hunslet Goods Branch Railway.
In this video we explore the abandoned section of railway line from the Hunslet Swing Bridge, across Knowsthorpe Locks, through Thwaite Gate and on towards the old Goods Shed in Hunslet. We look for anything left behind, or any relics still remaining to this day.

I hated any sort of history at school but now “a few years on😂well decades” your explores are so interesting and your enthusiasm is infectious I am hooked. Great quality videos thanks, keep going.

@AdventureMe 3 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

@WmDavidHarrison 3 года назад

Another fascinating look at industrial archaeology of Hunslet. Great drone footage. The brick and timber construction could well have been a means of transferring coal from nearby Skelton Colliery from rail to barge but old OS maps and railway sources are not forthcoming though somebody somewhere will know.

@AdventureMe 3 года назад

Many thanks! Yes not much info on it at all.

@simonmcowan6874 3 года назад

That was a great conclusion to the series, thanks for the name check, next time I'm in Leeds I'll pick up those bricks for my collection. 👍

@JP_TaVeryMuch Месяц назад

Coming to these now ancient videos as far as Social Media timescale is concerned, from your most recent videos, I am still blown away by the quality of the production and struck by the thought that if we didn't have people like you doing the donkey work, digging these images out of some cloud presumably, somewhere on the planet, coupled with the effort of the original photographers and the archivists making sure that they are eventually accessible, we'd be in the position of a future visiting alien archæologist trying to work out what that round tower 2:26 is and how it fits in to what is now long gone. I think that it's fair to say that you'd be pushed to guess correctly just exactly what a magnificent structure used to be on the site and equally as perplexed as am I now as to why it was deemed an economic necessity to remove the whole marvelous edifice. Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing it back to life, if only fleetingly, thereby reigniting a spark of pride in this viewer and immense respect for our engineering forefathers.

@AdventureMe Месяц назад

Thanks matey

@notsohairybiker 3 года назад

Fantastic video, you make it like I'm there on the walk. The brick bunkers, been thinking, possibly storage bunkers, coal, sand, building materials, just maybe a ramp down to load up the barges for local deliveries? I noticed the local quarries, sand , limestone etc. They must have used an obscene amount of coal back then as It was used for everything.

@nixtax3526 3 года назад

Brilliant vlog, really interesting part of the line and great drone footage

@AdventureMe 3 года назад

@kingboy76 3 года назад

That strange structure in the trees was an excellent find. Will be really interested to hear if you can dig up any more information on it. Went for a wander round Middleton Park yesterday and my endlessly patient wife had to listen to me pointing out everything from your videos on the park!

@hoppinonabronzeleg9477 3 года назад

Either coal drops, or maybe a supporting bridge for overhead siding?

@AdventureMe 3 года назад

Haha, I bet that was fun for her. I'll post on my social media if I find anything else about it.

@JamesAllmond 3 года назад

Just south of Macon Ga in the US, next to I-16, we also have a swing bridge of that design. No river boats have come up the river it sits on for decades, and the track is til active! Have seen it turned once, back in the 70's, the last time someone brought boats up that required it to open. Was told it took to several barrels of grease to get it to turn again. It regularly gets flooded...

@AdventureMe 3 года назад

Brilliant. At least you still have yours.

@bigmonkey999888 3 года назад

Hi Darren, that brought back memories of going from Leeds to Castleford on the bus passing under the railway bridge just after Thwaite lane onto Pontefract road passing the terraced houses on the left and the swing bridge in the distance. Fantastic series keep em coming. Thank you Steve

@DaimlerSleeveValve 3 года назад

The 1951 map at www.old-maps.co.uk shows the brick structure in the trees to be a coal depot. Most railway goods yards had a similar, though smaller, structure. Coal would be dropped from railway wagons into the bins below. The various bins commonly held the various grades of coal. Fuel would be transferred to sacks and delivered on lorries which would have exited the site onto Corporation Road.

@rich_edwards79 3 года назад

That was my first thought too. There's a very similar structure near the Armkey Gyratory just by the Armley Road junction.

@martinmarsola6477 2 года назад

Brilliant video Darren, the old swing bridge would have been interesting to see in operation back in the day, a major piece of engineering.

@BigDave2589 3 года назад

I don't know if its true but I did hear the first time they opened the bridge the mechanism broke but it had taken so long to build by this time sailing boats were going out of use so there was no point in repairing it, great video 👍

@timwilson2435 3 года назад

There are a couple of accounts that said it was so heavy, it sagged on a test swing and had to be jacked up to go back into place.

@michaeldibb 3 года назад

Some excellent before and now photos.

@classictraction1744 3 года назад

I understand that when the bridge was swung for the first time, on test, the metal bridge bowed slightly, due to the weight of the structure. The engineers had to jack it up, in order to be able to get it back to the correct position and legend goes, that it never swung again.

@ianrumgay9595 3 года назад

What a fascinating video loving the drone shots and old photographs .Good shot of the Morris 1000 traveller at 1.51. Brings back happy motoring memories. Will check out that tower on my next bike ride. Amazing such a brilliant piece of engineering never really used. Wouldn't fancy falling down any of those holes could be all sorts down there. Look forward to next video.

The area adjacent to the river aire was the site of Leeds Total fuel depot that was fed from the Humber by rail. Tankers field up here to take the ground fuels to the surrounding fuel stations. I used to work there. There also used to be a bitumen depot too, but before my time. It closed in about 2000. On the opposite side of the river was an Esso fuel depot too.

@andrewhodgson481 3 года назад

Around 2001 I went for an interview for a job on a petrol terminal which utilised the ner rail line you talk about. It was operated by petrofina and they would have rail tankers unloaded every other day. Trains would circuit neville hill Depot and then reverse shunt the fuel tanks into the terminal. The fuel was then unloaded into underground storage tanks. The site was only manned by a handful of staff because of the obvious danger to life. The rail wagon in the video looks as if it is on the same piece of line.

Absolutely fascinating! Thank you again for your efforts and passion. I think I'll have to be having an explore down there before or after work one day. Seems a real shame that no provision was given to ensuring there was a walkway all the way along to the city when the area was redeveloped, though I do think that has been taken into consideration on parts of the river and canal to a good effect. Cheers!

Was looking forward to this one Darren, and it didn't disappoint. You seem to have gotten a hang of the drone too. I moved to Rothwell in 1980 so a lot of the areas you'll looking at were already gone by then and it's fascinating to see how industrial areas once were.

Ey up Darren, really enjoyed these Hunslet videos, the drone has certainly added to your presentations. It's over 50 years since I last saw inside the swingbridge tower, back then the bridge was still in situ and there was no trees growing inside. A gang of us, aged 10 to 14ish, used to play on the bridge, I have walked over the top, climbed across between the girders underneath too, we must have been crazy!. Got really nostalgic at all the episodes as the line from the old Rex cinema right down over the Miggy pit line, cuckoo steps, both sets, to Knostrop was a playground for us waifs and strays in the 1960s! Ahh memories..........think I'll make another cuppa and watch some more. Take care, great vidoes!!!

@stevekell3782 3 года назад

Good morning. Brilliant video. When I did research into my family history I found that it was my family that built the swing bridge for GNR. I was told that the bridge didn't actually work as designed. When they tried to open it it dropped and had to be forced back into place. The company running Aire & Calder Navigation has changed their minds about bringing tall ships into Leeds. Hence the bridge was left closed.

The current line off the NER serves a cement terminal and the wagon at the buffers was a HAA hopper which carries lime stone probably from Peak forest.

The most likely candidate for the mystery structure is probably a coal or other mineral unloading dock, probably with a link to barges on the river

@timwilson2435 3 года назад

I've been looking in to this, but there's nothing I can find to verify its use. I reckon you are right though, and a good chance some of the barges were "Tom Puddings" that went off to Goole to be put on to the big ships that never arrived in Leeds.

At the bottom of Goodman street where the new flats are now there was an oil terminal operated by several oil and petroleum company’s. My father worked there form the late 1940s for Shell and BP. Many tanks painted blue much like the ones at Lemonroyd but with company logos,Texico, Esso etc as well as a large loading yard with gantries for filling the delivery tankers. The site also had a large garage area and office buildings. Supported pipes crossed the river to an area that he referred to as “ the rail head” where rail cars were unloaded the contents being pumped over the river and into the storage tanks. Barges coming up the river were unloaded at Nostrop which is where the new green foot bridge is and very close to the stone bridge support.. Nothing to see there now of what was a very busy 24hour a day operation just one stone gate post at the entrance to the terminal.

I once read about something called a hydraulic accumulator being used in railway yards in Leeds, for lifting and powering machines, and I wonder if this could have been a cart or barge lift system. In old maps I have seen of this area, there is a building just to the side of where that brick structure is that could be something to do with this.

@rogerbarton497 3 года назад

There's a hydraulic accumulator in the car park next to Huddersfield station. AFAIK the carpark used to be a goods yard and accumulator was used to winch goods wagons around the yard to avoid having to use shunting engines.

@siccodierdorp6947 3 года назад

Great video again. Only thing I noticed is that you are very consistent in you videos in avoiding the use of the word 'wagon' :)

@AdventureMe 3 года назад

To be honest I couldn't think of the word at the time. I'm not all that good with railway terminology.

@Vonzack 3 года назад

Thanks for another great video. The Wagon left on it's own on what remains of the line, looks like a HYA or IIA (they look similar) originally used for transporting coal, but now being used for aggregate transfer. The works on the other side of the line are owned by Tarmac and they produce Asphalt and Concrete. The wagon has probably been split from a rake after having had some kind of problem. I wonder if it's still there? Apologies if this has been said already.

@AdventureMe 3 года назад

Thanks for the info!

@EastCoastRoadsters 3 года назад

If you look at a 1951 map the brick structure is labelled as a coal depot, I assume the coal was stored below and bagged up for delivery on trucks, as old maps show an access road and turning area. When watching your videos I find it helpful to have google maps open to see where you are and compare it with old-maps website at the same time.

@ianhudson2193 3 года назад

That's just a coal drop. Rails ran on metal girders right at the top (obviously removed for scrap) and coal dropped ftom wagon bottom doors onto the sloped wooden surface to slow its fall then fell through chutes into barges more in the berths below......the concrete box with man holes appears later and is probably a drainage catch for when the the land on the far side was repurposed......

I liked your video that was interesting to see where all those railway lines and good Yards would’ve been But if you don’t mind can I make one small suggestion turn your colour down a little bit as it did make you look like you had bright red lipstick on

2.34 Abutment gets an early mention. What's the Music Called?

Your videos have come a long way and your use of old photos superimposed over the current scenes is really excellent. But you could turn down the color saturation (vibrancy) on the videos. But everything is shifted red and it gives some interesting effects that I don't think you want. like, the bright red tips on your ears, your lips and nose.

Yes, I have learnt from this lol. I was trying to counteract the red glow from the sunset. Didn't quite go to plan.

@@AdventureMe Just turn off all that HDR stuff and let your white balance handle the scene. Besides, that lipstick isn't your color!
