The Kinver Light Railway

Описание: Video #04. In todays video we are going to look for remains of The Kinver Light Railway. It was actually a tramway and ran from Amblecote to Kinver. Opened in 1901 and closed in 1930. Over 90 years later there are still traces to be found.
At Wollaston junction I meant to add in the commentary that, not so long ago the road surface had deteriorated so badly that you could see the original cobbled road surface in places with the tram tracks still in situ! They may well still be there now beneath the now repaired tarmac.
On another occasion in recent times when they were working on the road next to the Fish Inn terminus the workmen had to cut through the still present tram tracks in order to dig their hole.
