Middy Explores

Join me as I move away from the Railways for a change and visit the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol. This historic bridge was built in the 1800s over the Avon Gorge and stands over 100 metres above the river Avon! e youtu.be/-HoGZXR95l0

Join me on Part 2 of my explore to find the lost stations of Leicester. Once we had a busy network of railways criss crossing the city which has now deminished to 2 lines. Where were the stations that once dotted the city? youtu.be/C5lxeNp2qP8

Would you take him back?

@druddy7 Thank you for that great video! and your kind comments

Really loved your videos on Leicester, very nostalgic for me… I found an old video of a train crossing over that exact demolished Bowstring bridge away from the direction of the now demolished Leicester Central you might enjoy. You can make out the River Soar and then the shops and houses down below on Braunstone Gate and then with the camera looking backwards, you can see the demolished factories on the opposite side of the bank from where Bede Park is now, just along from where you started your video. I share your opinions on how very sad it is they’ve demolished so much. Makes me feel emotional like taking a punch to the stomach somehow but very grateful and loved watching- you have a new follow 👍

Join me as I walk across Leicester following the route of the Great Central Railway from South to North, from derelict and mostly forgotten to restored and running, this is one of my most interesting walks yet! youtu.be/d6CyKfBRqx8

@IanHardie9018 @WDRailways @hawkino1960 @RailwayHeritage @GcrGreat Its a lovely walk and being maintained superbly by volunteers

Filmed over 3 seperate days last year and originally released as 3 videos I have joined them together to give viewers the full walk from Newton Lane north of Rugby along the public footpath all the way to Rugby Central (and slightly beyond). youtu.be/R7q8moCBzAk

Join me as I finally get to walk through Glenfield Tunnel on the Leicester and Swannington Railway. The longest railway tunnel in the world when it opened in 1832 this wonder of engineering was designed by none other than George Stephenson. youtu.be/eYw2Io6KrCE
