Places to see in ( Bawtry - UK )
Bawtry is a small market town and civil parish which lies at the point where the western branch of the Roman road Ermine Street crosses the River Idle in the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England and met the Great North Road. Nearby towns include Gainsborough to the east, Retford south south-east, Worksop to the south-west and Doncaster to the north-west. Historically within the West Riding of Yorkshire.
Bawtry is located in the metropolitan borough of Doncaster on the border with Nottinghamshire, and is situated between Bircotes and Misson at the conjunction of the A614, A631 and A638 roads. The present A638 was for centuries the Great North Road, and in the 20th century the town was a notorious bottleneck, until it was bypassed in 1965. The county boundary with Nottinghamshire runs just to the south of the town and for this reason the southernmost house on the Great North Road is named 'Number One Yorkshire'.
The town's former prosperity was based on its communications, the River Idle in the days when it was a port, the Great North Road in the coaching era, and the Great Northern Railway.
Bawtry has a school called Bawtry Mayflower School named after the ship Mayflower, which took William Bradford, leader of the Pilgrims, to the Americas, settling the first Plymouth Colony. Bradford lived at Austerfield, close to Bawtry. The White Hart in Swan Street is the oldest surviving pub in Bawtry dating back to 1689. The older Swan Inn, also in Swan Street, is still intact, but converted to other uses.
South Parade is a terrace of Georgian houses. The Market Hill and High Street contain other buildings of that period, interspersed with more recent developments. The Courtyard in Bawtry is a modern development hosting a variety of shops and businesses. The entire development was designed by Graham Smith Design, who went on to win the Green Apple Awards 2005 in recognition of the efforts to preserve and enhance the heritage of Bawtry.

Mexborough Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of South Yorkshire, and around 12 miles northeast of Sheffield, is the town of Mexborough. Historically it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire up until 1974.
The name 'Mexborough' means 'Meoc's fortification', where Meoc is believed to be an Old Norse personal name. Geographically it is located along the north bank of the River Don. The river was made navigable by cargo boats from the 18th century, leading to growth in the town due to its various industries.
Between the 18th and 20th centuries, Mexborough became a producer of brick and glass, and a coal mining and quarrying town. In 1875 Mexborough engine shed opened, although technically located in the neighbouring town of Swinton, which is part of a continuous urban area. At its peak it could handle around 150 steam locomotives, but it would eventually close in 1964 as steam trains were being phased out.
Mexborough's railway station opened in 1871. Today it is situated on the Swinton to Doncaster Line, providing access to Sheffield in approximately half an hour, and to Doncaster in around a quarter of an hour.
Famous people from Mexborough include actor Brian Blessed.

Sheffield District Railway Part 2 - Tinsley Yard & Depot, Meadowhall, Brightside
Sheffield District Railway Part 2 - Tinsley Marshalling Yard & Motive Power Depot, Meadowhall, Brightside disused railway.
We round off our explore of the Sheffield District Railway in South Yorkshire by picking up where we left off at the entrance to Tinsley yard and the Ukranian class 66.
This is the entrance to the Tinsley Motive Power Depot,or Tinsley Traction Mantenance Depot. Opening in the 1964 and closing in 1998. We talk a little about the history and take a look at some photos and memories of the open days.
Next to the depot was Tinsley Marshalling Yard. Also brought about by the Sheffield Railway Rationalisation program in the 1960s. A Dowty wagon sorting system was used with a hump shunt to sort wagons that same into the yard and place them on to their new trains.
The yard started to decline in the 1980s and was almost all gone by the late 1990s. Recently the yard has started to see freight again with the opening of the Sheffield International Rail Freight Terminal (SIRFT).
We also look at the original line that the Sheffield District Railway followed before the opening of Tinsley yard. This included the Tinsley Wood Tunnel.
Next we head up to Brightside Junction and look at the former Brightside Station, disused since 1995 We follow what we can of the trackbed over the Rier Don Viaduct and behind the Meadowhall Shopping Centre until we reach the bridge abutment on Sheffied Road. This was the site of West Tinsley station.

Corsham Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Wiltshire, and around nine miles east, and slightly north, of Bath, is the town of Corsham.
The town's name is derived from Old English 'Cossa' and 'hām', meaning 'Cossa's homestead', where Cossa was the name of a Saxon settler. Corsham thrived during the medieval era due to the wool trade. This was aided by the immigration of Flemish weavers from the 14th to 16th century. They settled in various towns in England, including Corsham, as a result of an order by Edward III in 1337 to stop wool exports to Flanders and ban imports of woollen products. The houses seen from around minutes 12 to 14 are known as the 'Flemish Weavers' Houses' as it is reputed that this was the heart of the cottage industry for the wool trade.
Corsham's wool trade declined with the onset of the Industrial Revolution as nearby Wiltshire towns like Trowbridge and Bradford on Avon were able to use their respective rivers to power their textile mills. These in turn were displaced by the larger factories in the north and midlands that were connected to the canal network of Georgian England. Corsham, however, developed an alternative industry in the form of stone quarrying. These were put to use on a number of projects, perhaps most notably at the Box Tunnel. This forms part of Brunel's Great Western Railway Route from London to Bristol (and later to Cornwall and South Wales). Situated beneath Box Hill between Chippenham and Bath, it was the longest railway tunnel in the world at the time of its completion in 1841.
In 1582 Corsham Court was built for Thomas Smythe, a collector of customs duties during the Elizabethan era. This country house is located just off the high street, featured towards the end of the walk. Since the 18th century it has been owned by the Methuen family for eight generations up to the present. It is also home to a number of peacocks which can sometimes be seen roaming freely on the streets of Corsham town centre! (although sadly not in this video)
In 1841 a railway station opened in Corsham. This was situated between Chippenham and Bath on the Great Western Main Line. In 1965 it was closed as part of the Beeching Cuts, which was a controversial move to promote motorway travel by closing over 2,000 railway stations across Britain. Today, public transport to Corsham consists of bus services from Bath, Chippenham, Trowbridge and various local towns and villages. It can also be reached via National Express from London.
Due to the high concentration of 17th and 18th century buildings, Corsham has often been used for location filming for period dramas. Perhaps the most notable example is the BBC adaptation of Poldark where it was used for some of the outdoor town scenes. The series is set in 18th century Cornwall.

Wath upon Dearne Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of South Yorkshire, and around 11 miles northeast of Sheffield, is the town of Wath upon Dearne (often referred to locally as, simply, Wath). Historically it was part of the West Riding of Yorkshire up until 1974.
The first known written reference to Wath upon Dearne comes from the Domesday Book of 1086.The name 'Wath' is derived from Old Norse 'vað', meaning a ford. The River Dearne flows just north of the town centre, and is a tributary of the River Don.
With its geographic location being situated over the South Yorkshire Coalfield, much of Wath's growth can be attributed to coal mining, particularly during the 19th and early 20th centuries. From 1798 to 1804 the Dearne and Dove Canal was opened in stages. This became a key factor in local industry and the transportation of coal. The canal would eventually close in 1961.
In 1841 the first of three former railway stations opened in Wath upon Dearne. This was joined by a second in 1851 and a third in 1902. These closed in 1968, 1952 and 1929 respectively with the Beeching Axe claiming the final station. Today public transport to Wath upon Dearne consists of direct bus services from Barnsley, Rotherham, Doncaster and various local towns and villages.

The start of our Dearne Valley Disused Railway Series in Doncaster
We start a new series looking at the disused Dearne Valley Railway. Episode 1 tracks this lost railway starting from just outside Doncaster City Centre on White Rose Way.
Used for coal traffic until the early 80s to access the Yorkshire Main Colliery in Edlington, this first section of our disused railway line passes through Balby, Woodfield Plantation towards Warmsworth.
The line opened in 1909 and connected Black Car junction with Brierley Junction near Barnsley. Passenger trains ran between Edlington and Wakefield, a railmotor car ran by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.
After the site and junction with Yorkshire Main Colliery, we pass over Edlington Road as the line enters a deep cutting under the A630 Doncaster Road. We end our explore on top of the Conisbrough Viaduct high above the Don Valley
