LANEHAM: Bassetlaw Parish #28 of 66
The furthest extent of the District of Bassetlaw when you travel to the East is none other than the River Trent, another major UK river that flows Northwards as it empties its vast quantities of water into the River Humber where it and the River Ouse combine. This is certainly one of those that falls into the category of unique.
That vast quantity of water has posed a problem historically for the residents of todays parish in the form of flooding until 1768 and 1769 when an Act was passed to aid the drainage of the local area to avoid any further catastrophes. The Trent has always played a major role in this place’s history for another reason.
Until it was transferred to the parish of Kettlethorpe, there was a small pocket of land that lay on the opposite bank of the Trent which belonged to this parish. From 1388 until 1922 a small ferry boat crossed the river, a long time you have to say for a service like that to be in operation, and the former port still stands to this day – The Ferryboat Inn – one of the two pubs within the village.
Calling this one a village is in fact sort of incorrect. It sometimes gets referred to as a “town”, even though the population has never exceeded 500 people. That’s because it was a way to distinguish the two very different settlements in this parish from one another. The village at one end, and the hamlet with the ferry port at the other.
A gift shop, a brewery, and even a bus shelter that used to be a cottage for the poor…there’s all that and much more in the parish of LANEHAM.

Great Central Railway - Steam Engine, Leicester North New and Old Stations
The final part of our day out exploring the lost Great Central Railway in Leicestershire.
We have traversed Leicester and now find ourselves just to the north of the city where part of the old Great Centrail Mainline is thriving as a heritage railway. It runs for just over eight miles south from the town of Loughborough, through some lovingly restored stations before arriving at our destination for today - Leicester North station.
Leicester North is built next to the the original Belgrave & Birstall station site, which opened in 1899 upon opening of the GC mainline.
It closed in 1963 but in the following years suffered from vandalism until it was unfortunately demolished between 1977 and the late 1980s. The new station of Leicester North opened in 1991 slightly south of the original station.
On our visit we have a look around the station, old and new and await the arrival of the final heritage service of the day - a class 9F 2-10-0 steam engine 92214. We see many old photos of this type of steam locomotive on the GCR during it's final years of service.
*****Info on the GCR, taken from their website:
The Great Central Railway is the UK's only double track, main line heritage railway. It’s the only place in the world where full size steam engines can be seen passing each other – just as it was when steam ruled the rails.
Trains run every weekend of the year, bank holidays and selected week days through the summer. In addition, First Class Restaurant Car Services provide five course meals whilst travelling between Loughborough and Leicester. Childhood dreams can come true with a Drive a Locomotive Experience when you can take the regulator on a mighty steam locomotive or notch up on a powerful diesel. We also run many special events, including Steam Galas, Paw Patrol, Bonfire Night, 1940s Wartime Weekend and Santa Specials.*******

***Overview of Class 9F***
The British Railways Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 is a class of steam locomotive designed for British Railways by Robert Riddles. The Class 9F was the last in a series of standardised locomotive classes designed for British Railways during the 1950s, and was intended for use on fast, heavy freight trains over long distances. It was one of the most powerful steam locomotive types ever built for British Railways, and successfully performed its intended duties. The class was given the nickname of 'Spaceships', due to its size and shape.
Dont forget to go give our other Lost Leicestershire GCR videos a watch (Lutterworth GCR, Dunton Bassett Tunnel, The last Bridge over the M1, Whetstone Viaduct & the GCR through Leicester City Centre) - available in our back catalogue.

Clowne & Creswell Derbyshire Lost Railway History - Part 2
Clowne & Creswell Derbyshire Lost Railway History
We're back on my own doorstep at Clowne & Creswell in Derbyshire to have another look around some of the disused railways in the area.
We take a closer look in more detail at the former Midland Railway Clowne Branch (now Clowne Greenway), the old Clowne & Barlborough station. Also to see is the Clowne South station and Lancashire, Derbyshire & East Coast Railway (LD&ECR) disused railway towards Creswell.
We can find lost and buried former railway infrastructure such as telegraph poles, insulator, old point and signalling work and station platforms buried in the woods.

AULT HUCKNALL: Bolsover Parish #10 of 16
Welcome to one of rural England's most charming chunks of land. This one has more than a few bits to tell us about life in the heart of Derbyshire, about how life was in Elizabethan times, and how life was for the rich and the powerful. In this case, the woman with the power was the second richest person in the UK behind Queen Elizabeth I - Bess of Hardwick.
A lot of these lands belonged to the Hardwick Estate, a lot of them still do. There are seven settlements in this parish, and a whole lot of National Trust land, some of which is rightly a conservation area. Funnily enough though, its sparse population of less than 1,100 people mostly live in the two settlements that have nothing to do with Hardwick Hall.
They are Bramley Vale and Doe Lea, both of which are mining areas which are something of an anomaly really compared to the rest of the parish. You see, generally this area gives you tiny farmsteads like Astwith and Hardstoft and Rowthorne - which are a million miles away from anything to do with mining.
Then of course, there's Hardwick Hall itself, built with as many windows as Bess of Hardwick deemed possible so she could admire her kingdom, which included two massive lakes and the River Doe Lea. An impressive structure for all to see, Hardwick Hall is famed for many things including a collection of embroideries and even a scene or two in Harry Potter!
Oh and is the main village really the smallest village in England? It would claim to be. This is AULT HUCKNALL.

CLOWNE: Bolsover Parish #15 of 16
Mentioned in the Domesday Book as “Clune”, this one’s name is derived from the Celtic word “Clun” for a river, and in Harlesthorpe which forms a part of the town here, there is a street called Clune Street which has a playing field name after it – both of which allude to the former name of the place.
In the 17th century the was a rural farming community. Some buildings still stand from this date, notably the Anchor Inn and Sheridon's Yard. When the plague struck in 1586 and 1606, victims were buried away from the village at Monument Field or Plague Field – the same field which was mentioned in the Barlborough episode, giving its name to the Monnies Trail
Most of its amenities are clustered together around a pretty tight town centre. Recently, some regeneration of the town centre has taken place including the opening of a large Tesco supermarket, a Wilko store and Aldi supermarket. The tesco store also has a petrol station as well.
Two railway stations served the town. Since their closure, the nearest operational station is Creswell, on the Robin Hood line between Worksop and Nottingham via Mansfield. But what of those former stations? Well, you may not be able to travel on trains here anymore but you can certainly see where these stations were and where the railway line was.
A thirty minute introduction then to one of Bolsover’s biggest – this is CLOWNE.
