I always find the stone and brick work heartbreaking. The man power involved was immense. Everything seems so flimsy nowadays.

All the years I lived in the Chesterfield area and didn't know that was there!

Wow. I've lived in Chesterfield all my life and walk past that locked metal gate every day and always wondered what was down there. Thanks for sharing this.

once again a brilliant video Patrick, i really look forward to your videos. keep up the excellent work !

I love watching these kinds of videos, but yours are amazing! I have seen some good explores totally ruined for me because of camera work, filming too fast and jerky they give me headaches. Your camera work is steady and beutiful. Thank you.

Pat, words fail me! Well nearly.........fantastic video and photos that should win awards 🥇 It’s not somewhere I know but i feel like I know it now! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you never fail to impress and entertain! Thank you 👍🏻

Thanks Patrick , great adventure, love going back in history, thanks for sharing

I worked in Chesterfield back in the 70s early 80s for a Mansfield building company Herbert Baggeley. Bet you’ve heard of them. Never knew this existed thank you so much Patrick

Fantastic video! Me and my wife are from Chesterfield and didnt realise any of this was around, we loved it and your photography is amazing!

Beautifully twisted spire you have there. Interesting vid. Thanks!

We lived in Chesterfield for 12years during the 80s what changes we saw and have happened since the Poulson days. Another story. Thanks again Patrick, great film. Ted

This is the first video I've watched of yours and just want to say it is brilliant! I love the tunnel explore and the pictures are amazing! The effect on the static video looks amazing too!

Pat, you were just like a young Steve Mcqueen going over the fence in great escape.😂

Pat, really enjoyed your video & the still pictures, brilliant, never knew the tunnel wus there.

I was born and spent my early childhood just down the road in Pleasley. My grandparents lived in Chesterfield and it really brings back memories seeing all this as well as revealing hidden treasures I never knew existed. Thanks for this mate! The biggest childhood memory I have from that area is the Trebor sweet factory. If you stood with the wind in the right direction you could literally smell a sweet breeze.

Great video, Patrick! Thank you for sharing your adventure. Some wonderful footage and stills.

I am truly challenged, while I cant condone trespassing, this is truly fascinating and 30 minutes well spent watching and listening to you 👍👍

Fantastic video Patrick . Going to do the Brampton mile on Saturday . Great fan of all your videos thanks for the info on the camping stove . All the best 👍

It's amazing how much work you put into these videos. At first, when I first saw your videos, I thought you had a cameraman assisting. Then I realised that you have to go back for your camera after you have walked off into the distance. Been looking forward to your next new video and I have not been disappointed. I never knew this tunnel even existed. Great video Pat. Take care.

Brings back memories of when i used to live in Chesterfield - crooked spire - love it!

amazing pictures!

Fantastic video Pat as always,your light painting photos are beautiful. Always appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. ATVB 👍🏻

Thanks for sharing another great UrbEx with us, glad you made it safely in and out, I've been through Chesterfield a lot and didn't know that tunnel was there, so thanks for filming it all so well. I hope you let someone know when you head off solo on your adventures, going into disused places can be unsafe as I'm sure your aware and I wouldn't want to see you come to any harm. Cracking stuff. Looking forward to your next instalment. ATB :)

This is what KZfaq was invented for. You have successfully combined Urban Exploration with a Documentary. Awesome Job. Thank you. Subbed.

Nice to see you in glorious Chesterfield Pat! Been down that tunnel myself, had alot of orange mud and not alot else

Cool, another urban explore. Great pictures and colours! You're sort of my secret National Geographic channel. Thanks for sharing, cheers!

amazing photography again Pat, thanks for taking us on another of your urban explorations atb

I would just like to say, what an exceptional piece of film, I’m blown away, great filmmaking and editing Pat, I shall now be a subscriber for life.

Patrick, loved this video of your exploration. Thanks for taking the time to explain the history behind it too. Amazing shots especially the light painting. Have you heard of Drewton Tunnel part of the ex Hull and Barnsley railway. Shes a big un !! Over a mile long . If your ever over in the East Riding give me a shout, always up for a bit of urbex. :)

Another fantastic film Pat. As always cant wait for the next one. Oh by the way i bought a Hilleberg Soulo in sand thanks for your in depth info and advice. Take care bud

Well while going around the north Scotland run with my better half, we managed to watch this super video...so from both of us ...fantastic as always..cheers x

That shot at 13.30 is awesome. I've not too long been subscribed to you Pat, a mate put me on to your channel hence why I'm watching an older video just now. Love the light painting. Right up my street playing with torches. Cheers

Did you: 1. Set up camera and climb over gate 2. Climb back over gate to retrieve camera 3. Climb over gate again with camera 4. Do procedure again in reverse when you left? Or did you combine entering/leaving shots to save yourself climbing gate 2 times when leaving? - just curious, and I like how you did this; very good work Sir.

I live there! It's a fabulous place and I love it 💜💜💜

Absolutely fantastic presentation. One of the best amongst the best. Well done Patrick and thank you.

Right .Thank you for another high quality video with the right subject , focus , perspective , pace and narrative .

Excellent video, thank you. I'm from Chesterfield and naturally knew the tunnel was there but never got around to exploring it, I certainly don't think I could ever have taken pictures so stunning!

Bloody hell jumped that wall like Michael jumped off the pier at the end of the Alan Partridge film!

Loved watching this again pal. I do love the unspoken world below many towns and cities. Great content.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR FANTASTIC PICTURES, I THINK YOU DO A GREAT JOB, NOW I WOULD LIKE TO SEA YOUR 12 TOP PICTURES IN A CALENDAR.

AT 8:49 whats the smudge on the left covering?

Nice one Pat, you should take a look at Barnsdale tunnel a nice long one 1226 long. ATB Paul 👍🏻👍🏻

Keep up the videos Patrick. I really enjoy when you do these types of videos, showing local history.

Thanks for this Pat. As a 3-6 year old I lived in a house (on Hollis Nook) near to this tunnel which was demolished to build the by-pass. The tunnel was accessed at that time by going down an embankment and then along the old railway line I presume. I remember the railway line was covered with white stones/pebbles and it ran towards what is now the Ibis Hotel. That would have been about 1971-74. My brothers and friends used to enter the tunnel but we never got very far before we frightened each other with silly stories and thought that the oxide was blood! Glad I got to walk through it with you. I will share this with my brothers. I seem to recall there was a massive circular walled structure which was a big ventilation shaft near to the old trebor factory but I was a young child so I don’t know if this was another ventilation shaft or the north one you pointed out. Thanks for sharing.

Hi there matey, liked your video and the few previous I've seen, just wondering if you know of any other places close to chesterfield that are good to explore? Looking to start up a KZfaq channel of exploring but need places to start, thankyou in advance

I’ve been down there W the lads I used to go like everyday 😂

Excellent video Pat. Thank you!

Brilliant, loved the BYE at the end. What a great explore, and what superb photographs you made. Well done, again! ATB Dave

youre ave to climb back down to get your tripods and camera

I'm surprised you have time for this! I would have thought that running the Labour Party would take most of your time.

Excellent as always. Cheers for the tip about the Brampton Mile.

Wow! I've lived in Chesterfield for 24 years and didn't know about that tunnel. I also didn't know that busses now stop at the station, it has been a while since I've had to take a train anywhere though. Great video!

What a waste of a tunnel, trains should be running through it.

Nice to hear from someone who remembers the tunnel in its heyday, must of been a great engineering feat, 3 bridges, but in those days the men could build these great engineering masterpieces, like the railways, the pubs seem to be disappearing as well, great comments, thanks Pat 😊

Great video Pat, very interesting and I love the light painting shots!

KZfaq recommend me your videos a few days ago and I'm glad it did! In this day of 'clickbait' KZfaq videos your videos were a breath of fresh air. I have watched all your exploration videos over the past week, great work. Love your thorough commentary and eye for detail in your pictures. Keep it up Patrick.

Just discovered this fantastic channel and have subbed to it. Pat, im a chap about 5 years younger then you but your fitness, energy and enthusiasm put me to shame. I get out of breath just watching you. Im going through all your previous vids and finding them not only enjoyable but quite useful too, love the rail journeys. Keep on making them mate.

I’ve driven past there thousands of times and never knew that tunnel existed. Great video, fantastic pictures Patrick. Love your local exploration videos.

Bloody fearless! Straight up the ladder no prob. Patrick, you absolute legend. Nothing phases you!

Really enjoyed the tunnel tour nice photos and history. This the first video and I look forward to more. Very nice.

Thanks for sharing pat really well done. I enjoyed

That was great! Your photography and commentary are excellent!

Brilliant video Patrick... throughly enjoyed that ... great photo effects.. amazing, can just imagine the air being push up that air vent when the trains were running in the tunnel...amazing brickwork and excavation ... thanks for sharing.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Enjoyable video. Thanks!

Brilliant video pat and really well produced. I was in the town for the first time today and never realised. Thanks for the information!

Enjoyed that explore Patrick, we were in Chesterfield a few weeks back didn't know the tunnel was there ! Thanks for sharing, Regards Brian.

Really interesting and very professionally produced considering it was shot alone. Slowly becoming one of my favorite YubeTube vloggers, thank you ever so much Pat.

My Wife and I love your Tunnel Videos - this one was even better than the last - your techniques get better and better. Keep them coming - there is a good tunnel at Alfreton further down the line from Chesterfield - one still used , but one at the side disused - that would be a good one to do. All the best

Jasus Pat you have some balls doing that! amazing photos and architecture, another top vid, keep them going brother....

Very interesting video thank you for sharing from New Zealand well done

Back to form here Patrick with the tunnel explorations. The previous videos have been ok but this is your bread and butter and captivating watching you explore this.

For some reason I find guys like this much more interesting, not to mention real, than half a dozen celebrities put together.

Thanks for a wonderful trip out. I know it took a lot of effort to bring this to us. Always interesting how the old meets the new.

Amazing stuff, thanks for putting all this together and sharing.

Another cracking video Pat. Well impressed with your research prior to your visit. Some fantastic images too. Great work, very interesting and enjoyable to watch.

Some great shots Patrick, thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Enjoyed the adventure, especially the light painting. Beautiful work.

Wow - what a great video! I've parked in that car park near the entrance many a time, and was aware of the gates and ramp leading down there, but had no idea of the history behind it. Thanks for enlightening me, loved the pictures too, great to see down there in such detail, many thanks!

Great video and pictures pat,well done.

Some fantastic still photos

Another good film Pat. Great photography and the sound in that tunnel is incredible. I remember exploring similar disused rail tunnels in Birkenhead when I was younger. All the best to you.

Very nice video and fun to watch. Have a nice day.

Well done! I have wondered for years what is in this tunnel. Now I know.

Excellent videos Pat, im hooked. Great to watch. Love your style of commentary.

Hey Patrick, really interesting, some fantastic light paintings there. Thanks for uploading. Lee

Fascinating, thanks for sharing your video and photographs

Thank you Patrick. Great fun.

Great stuff again Pat ,the world passes by and no one realises what goes on beneath.

Your welcome Pat. I only found out from the Internet as I read the Derbyshire Times online and there was a small article about you and your exploring. I always enjoy watching your videos so keep up the good work mate and I'll look forward to seeing any new ones soon hopefully. From. Michael.

Iv walk past that entrance 5 days a week for the last 2 years. Always wondered about it. Thanks for showing me.

fantastic exploration. excellent narration and photographs. thank you

That was a fun video Pat, and very interesting. I love the history lesson. The craftsmanship of those old time bricklayers is astounding. You have the guts of a burglar my friend! Thanks much for the videos.

Nice explore pat,well done. Thanks for sharing!

Very cool light painting Pat! Keep up the great work slowly catching up on all your videos. You show a certain level of professionalism in your craft not seen elsewhere. Cheers

Thanks !I hope you discovery more places in our Chesterfield !

Awesome video mate, would love to check that place out as its just down the road from me : ) I've been in that carpark a hundred times, and never even knew it was there. Thanks so much for sharing buddy. All the best, Jay

I used to park there everyday for about three years! Love you and your channel man! Great job! X

Again Pat, your videos never fail to amaze me. I've only one problem with them though, and that's once I've watched them, I've to wait for another 😂 The amount of research you must do prior to each one shows you've a true passion for what you're doing. The photos you capture are simply awesome! I honestly can see them in a stand alone exhibition about the hidden world beneath our northern streets. I'd definitely pay to see them exhibited, and also to hear a little more about them, and the places they were taken.

Your edits are treasures. Cheers Pat.

As I'm not a TV person these days, it is a great delight to come across such an interesting channel. Your presenting skills are very professional, and I really appreciate your efforts with the camera work, doing things twice that are not always easy... Saying all that, really enjoyed this and that light trick with the torch was amazing, I have even got the wife to switch off the TV to watch one of your vids, no mean feat I can tell you... Great stuff, please keep them coming...
