The Railway by the Mills with the caves to the Colliery - A Nottinghamshire Disused Railway Walk
The Midland Railway had quite a large amount of railways in Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire. Some used for mixed traffic some only for freight. One such Midland Railway was the one from Mansfield Woodhouse in Nottinghamshire off towards Pleasley Colliery.
This railway bypassed the iconic Pleasley Mills, still standing today. Over Pleasley Colliery and onto the still existant Pleasley Colliery that closed back in 1983.

Welcome to my back yard. I'm from just down the road at Shirebrook and there are so many old rail lines in the area, you've not even scratched the surface. Enjoy the explore.

@@TrekkingExploration Yeah there is. They’re pretty hidden these days, but they were open when I was a kid. In the valley back along the Medan towards Shirebrook, the cliffs are believed to have been Neolithic rock shelters similar to Cresswell Crags.

Lovely stuff again, Ant. Fun fact about Pleasley Colliery, after it stopped producing coal in '83 it was maintained as a fan site drawing air into the outer reaches of Shirebrook Colliery workings until that was closed in 1994. Also, you missed the coal unloading point at Pleasley Mills, if memory serves it's a capped off concrete base, but, you can see a hole high up in the wall where the conveyor would have carried the coal into the boiler room. 👍

@@TrekkingExploration Only tunnels I can think of in the immediate area are Bolsover, which is sketchy as heck, and Rowthorn, near Glapwell, which is completely filled in. Duckmanton near Chesterfield used to be accessible wih wellies ten years or so ago. Spinkhill isn't a million miles away, either. Obvs the tunnel in Chesterfield itself (very public access and filled with ochrey silt).

@iancaveney7464 I lived in Glapwell for 10 years in the 1980s and walked the Rowthorne trail regularly. One of the tunnel portals was in the car park at the beginning of the trail. There used to be quite a few of the cooping stones from the tunnel round the edge of the car park.

There used to be a pillbox just near where you started, it was removed in the early 80's, also just under the field at the start is the remains of a roman villa, it was excavated in the 1920's.

Pleasley Colliery has a connection to Florence Nightingale’s family. In 1872 William Nightingale, Florence’s father leased the mineral rights to the Stanton Company. The Colliery started life being known as ‘Nightingale Pit’ Also Pleasley Mills are allegedly haunted and was featured in the TV Paranormal series’Most Haunted’ some years ago.

There are some remains of the viaduct just next to Outgang line but all covered up, there was a rough path up the side of it in the 80's, you had to hang onto branches to get up. The viaduct has been certified to stay up but it was demolished and the stone used elsewhere, it was done illegally and some question of corruption behind it.
