More Disused Railways of the Rother Valley & Killamarsh

Welcome to this feature video from the border of Sheffield & Rotherham, South Yorkshire & Derbyshire. A site of a multiple main lines passing through along with many colliery branches, junctions and sidings. This must have been heaven for trainspotters. That was, many decades ago. These days the majority of the lines are now disused. Abandoned and torn up, with plenty of remains to look around. Of course, we've covered this area many times. This was my stomping group for 15 years until recently. I've covered many miles in and around the footpaths, official and unofficial.

In this video, me and ‪@mrbetamax1969‬ look around some of the bits I've not covered before.

Firstly we see the remains of the former flour mill in killamarsh, the bridge that carried it over the River Rother, which suffered flooding and now demolished.

Where Rother Valley Country Park lake sits now was originally a scrap yard - Thos. W. Ward of Killamarsh. Many steam locos and wagons were cut up here. Nothing remains due to open cast mining, but we can spot a few things.

We look at the 4 lines which crossed the Meadowgate Lane footpath, with the Lancashire Derbyshire & East Coast Railway, Midland Railway (still open), Great Central Railway and the Holbrook colliery branch.

We then look at a few of the remaining bridges for the Holbrook Colliery Branch, which ran to the GCR near Beighton.

Just south of Killamarsh, we look at a spot call Cat Gallows, which had a bridge cross the GCR and Chesterfield Canal.

Also featuring Killarmarsh Central station and various disused railway bridge remains.
