My grandad worked in Goldthorpe pit and my great grandad worked in Goldthorpe and hickleton pit. I still live in the area now and so much has changed

Excellent video and thanks for making it. I only became aware of this line when staying in Devon this year and using the cycle path. Whilst being a beautiful cycle path ( I understand there is a plan afoot to join the two parts up although not sure how they plan to do this) it does seem incredible that such a useful piece of infrastructure could have been dismissed so readily.

A long time ago I read that this house had a ghost. Do you know anything about it?

Pity you cut off the last few bars of the "William Tell" overture.

Trains 🚊 used to run 🏃‍♂️ from Barnstaple to Ilfracombe via Braunton from July 1874 until Saturday 1st October 1970 had lasted for 96 years. The reason it was ceased it’s business 👨‍💼 on Saturday 3rd October 1970 because the railway 🚃 line became unviable and couldn’t be trusted anymore which sadly went. The railway 🚃 ticket 🎫 🎟️ staff had found out because he/she counts on how many railway 🚃 passengers used the train 🚆. The railway 🚃 line was closed over 5 previous years before I was born. I was born on Tuesday 9th March 1976 which seems like 👍 it happened yesterday. In 1964, steam trains 🚊 stopped running 🏃‍♂️ from Barnstaple to Ilfracombe via Braunton and replaced by first generation DMUS - Diesel ⛽️ Multiple Units, track was reduced from double track to single track in 1967, trains 🚊 had its final service on Saturday 3rd October 1970 and finally the train 🚆 track was lifted in 1975 is nearly 50 previous years ago when it comes to 2025. I’m sure ✔️ 👌 ☑️ that 2 years will come and go quickly from 2023 because life is short. I have walked on the disused railway 🚃 line near Mortehoe to and from Ilfracombe and it’s a good 👍 former railway 🚃 line and it’s near the reservoir. It makes me feel happy 😊. Touch wood 🪵 to say that no trains 🚊 are running 🏃 to Ilfracombe anymore at any time 🕰️ because let’s face it, the houses 🏡 🏠 🏘️ have trapped over the former railway 🚃 and north Devon is a bloody small place. I honestly like 👍 the old railway 🚃 line. It’s good 👍. Also Ilfracombe is a small place is still a town that could become a village if many shops 🏬 🏬 🏬 are closed. Ilfracombe could be the worst town in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. I live in Ilfracombe. 👍 😀 😄

All fenced off now !

They must be well hidden when the trees are in leaf. I notice they are all built of different materials. Maybe the last one with the shelf was a workshop of some kind.

My great grandfather was a yard man there at the end of the 19th century. Must once have been a busy place.

This is really sad to see. My grandad lived in and helped run this pub in the 80's and early 90's until he died in there. He was called Fred Bartholomew and when he died a bench was erected in his memory, I wonder where it went to. x

Used to live in Goldthorpe 60s-80s. I knew Main Street quite well. Sorry to see its sad decline.

Thank You for sharing this video. It brought back a lot of memories. I lived in Goldthorpe 1962-1981, very close to the Buxton Arms, which I visited many times. I studied Geology at Mexborough 6th Form College, and went down Highgate Pit on a Geology "Field Trip" in 1980. My Father and Grandfather were Coal Miners (Barnburgh Main Colliery). I recognised most of the Goldthorpe and Thurnscoe landmarks in the video. Truly a walk down memory lane - Thank You :)

This is the line I just wish I had travelled over against all others. Still I had the Hayling Island branch line close by.

I live on windhill and when I look theres just roads. Windhill avenue got destroyed and I'm conffused why? On Google earth the houses a still there

Why hasn't it been knocked down like the rest ?

Been on this walk .a few times with the dog also. Can get a bit spooky at Dusk . Above one of the cuttings there is a telegraph pole still standing .blends in well with the trees.

Sithole always fucking has been

area at roman terrace was a line that went under the road and went to cudworth

engine shed was somewhere near morphy richards factory is used to be an area that was a tip shed wad near river

I remember having to wait while the train went across the road through the tunnel into the manvers complex

I used to do my Disco and later my Karaoke at the Goldthorpe Hotel, Wayne Taylor (now sadly gone) also did his Disco there, Trish was a character. She also gave me my start has a DJ aged around 18? when she was landlady at the Thurnscoe Hotel, Every Thursday night.

Used to be youth club when I was around 11 or 12 and at side boxing club upstairs. Collingwood pub gone angel gone cross daggers. Bolton club long gone. And good old dearne pub long gone. Growing up in Bolton was brilliant it's all changed for worse I think. Any one reading these can you remember Frank groves shop? And good old miss Roberts bless her never see nothing like that these days 80s and 90s was last good decades 💯

Place does look awesome I had a look few weeks ago

Had a walk up to this place the other week. Sadly there is not alot left now , nicely captured mate 👍 good stuff

Great memories, thank you!

i went here today for a wonder around and to have a look. i only knew about this place yesterday. theres not much of the place left though.

Having a drink with fellas that makes these videos. Proper legend him 👏🏾

I recently had a look at this place. It has some beautiful original features. Nicely captured in your video mate 👍

Is this on boat inn side of river or opposite side?

It's a mad world!!!

£42 million for this and it was closed down within 5 years.

My family ran and lived in the buxton arms in the mid 90s. Was the most haunted place I've ever been. Some of the stories my mum and grandma used to tell me were awful.

They were the days great men to work with.😊

It was called Jimmy Hayes Amusements in the 80's and was one of our after school hangouts, the other being the Sunspot on Silver Street.

Duj lives in number 47

1982 & all those in this vid had no idea what uk coal had planned in later years now every pits gone & either housing estate or industrial buildings occupy the spot where the pits once stood

lost in time this area

Is it the same farm where they saw ‘Man in black’?

I can remember this farm like back of hand use to go all the time as a young kid, there was a bloke living onit years ago he lived in a caravan

My grandfather worked this mine in 1917.

Hi all This was in my life the public library, Ground floor,m the pub opposite the Collingwood. I learned Judo there. hi Sammi

Thank goodness someone is restoring this beautiful house now

all gone, bye industry, friends, and so much more, sorry i want to cry!

Outrageous what they've done to this building now.

Maintained that building for over 15 years on a limited budget that has allowed it to be renovated in 2011

Nice! Where abouts in mexborough is it?
