A Railway for Coal Pits and Pottery – The Next Greenway Extension

The Railway to the Pits and Pottery. The next Greenway Extension? Join me as I explore a section of the former Midland Railway Ripley to Derby line, a route that once connected key industrial sites like coal pits and pottery works. In this video, I walk along the abandoned trackbed, starting just beyond Ripley, passing the site of Ripley Station, and uncovering the locations of old pits, railway junctions, and Denby Station. Could this historic line be the next Greenway extension? Watch as I follow the route and imagine what the future could hold for this forgotten railway. 📌 Subscribe for more abandoned railway explorations!
