Woodseaves Minature Railway ( Near Market Drayton)

A short video of the train trip on the Woodseaves Minature Railway, which is located about 2 miles from Market Drayton on the A 529 . The train is part of a nursery which sells numerous plants and shrubs. Refreshments are available on site . A 16mm track is also available for the 16mm steam enthusiasts. Two trains run a diesel and a steam train which is normally operated in addition to teh diesel on Sundays. A lovely place to spend a few hours really enjoyed it.

Riding the Woodseaves Miniature Railway June 2015

On a very wet Saturday we visited the Woodseaves Miniature railway only to find out they only run on Sundays.The owners wife met us and she gave us a tour of this very well laid out display/garden with the railway and 16mm railway running amongst the plants and flowers.They said as we had traveled so far they would get the diesel out and give us a ride,thank you so much for doing this for us on such a wet day.
Sorry for the fades in the film but this was due to the slippery track and the camera man giving some assistance.lol

Easter Holiday 2009 Days 7 - 10

We left Ellesmere Port and headed up the Shropshire Union canal. Before turning onto the Middlewich Branch, we continued on to Hurleston to see if we fitted in the bottom lock which is notoriously narrow. We came back to the Middlewich Branch and headed back to Leigh. No actual footage of the final day.

English canals: Shelmore Embankment Stop Gate

UK canal boat holidays. We love going on canal boat holidays on the English canals, and the Welsh canals too! We hired a narrowboat from Norbury Wharf on the Shropshire Union Canal and cruised to Tixall Wide on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. Here is some film of us cruising on a narrowboat just south of Norbury Junction, passing the Shelmore Embankment Stop Gate. This gate (which operates just like a lock gate, with a balance beam to enable the operator to open or close it) is a flood gate situated at the southern end of the Shelmore Embankment just south of Norbury Junction on the Shropshire Union Canal. The Shelmore Embankment was the last part of this canal to be completed – finally being finished in 1835. It had taken over 5 years to build – slipping repeatedly when being constructed. There are stop gates (flood gates) at each end of the embankment so that it can be isolated in the event of a breach. When we were on a narrowboat holiday in 2013 we followed a green woodpecker that flew repeatedly over the canal in front of us as we cruised along this section of the canal. So, if you have ever wondered what to do on a canal boat holiday, this video should give you a taste of the main reason for taking a UK canal boat holiday - slow down, chill out, enjoy the peace and being able to see what's going on around you.
