We pick up our journey at the disused Millers Dale station, perched high upon the hilIl side. A spectacularly remote location for such a former busy junction. Millers Dale was the junction for passengers and goods changing for Buxton. It once had 5 platforms, including 4 through express lines. Some of the station buildings still remain, as well as the old goods shed, currently under restoration. Straight after leaving the station, we see the Station Quarry. Typical of the land use at the time where the area was heavily quarried for it's rich minerals. We investigate some railway remains. Just a little further one is the East Buxton Lime Works. A spectacular piece of industrial industry with the workings on top and underneath still accessible. As we continue our explore, the line weaves in and out of the River Wye and the Wye Valley. High bridges every few hundred meters. The line disects the landscape with a further 3 tunnels. Chee Tor Tunnels 1 & 2 and Rusher Cutting Tunnel follow the same style as the previous longer tunnels we left behind, before once again the line threads through cutting after cutting. We finish our explore at Blackwell Mill. We learn about two more former stations on the junction - Chee Dale Halt & Blackwell Mill Halt. From here the former Midland line splits in to two. To the right goes through Peak Forest towards New Mills and Manchester (still in use as a frieght line). To the left is the branch to Buxton, also still an active freight line. 00:00 Intro 00:37 Millers Dale Disused Station 02:10 Millers Dale Station Quarry 05:58 East Buxton Lime Works 10:32 Chee Tor Tunnels 13:13 Rusher Cutting Tunnel 14:45 Peak Forest Junction & Triangle 17:34 Blackwell Mill **Wobbly Runner** Please give the video a like and hit subscribe. My channel was set up in 2020 mainly to feature my running adventures. I planned to film and showcase the days out and destinations my running travels took me. Mainly the Peak District and the sights and marvels of Sheffield and the surrounding regions. However due to Covid restrictions, I found a new interest in researching and exploring old abandoned places - railway lines, canal, woodland, parks to name a few. So the videos you'll find will be mainly be of those things. Of course, where possible I'll be running to my destination.
