A fantastic video and shocking to see how much more has gone in just over a decade. The big slab by the house you said could collapse has done so. When you see the old photos the beach came around from North Hallsands (not Beesands as labled) in one continous curve in front of the Village of Hallsands. For a 2011 Drone it is so much better than the junk i bought recent years from Ideal world and Temu. Far better picture quality range and duration. Thanks for uploading.

🌟 Banging footage, this is an excellent presentation. I'm an amateur landscape photographer. Do you know how much access there is to the quarries surrounding Lee Moor? Is there any right of way? Are there any abandoned quarries in the area? Thanks, and well done #datswatsup

Thanks :) Glad you enjoyed it, it’s all privately owned land, there might be a public footpath that goes around or near to it, you’d have to consult a map of the immediate area, as i’m not from that county so not sure.

It’s not been replaced with LED yet, but they are being replaced by LED when they fail as they found that when the council dimmed then to 50% it shortened the life of the gear and lamp, so they only dim them to 75% lol

I remember walking through these tunnels in 1972; there was none of this undergrowth then, and I was able to wheel my bicycle through. King's Road tunnel had an area in the middle which was completely dark, neither portal was visible. The second tunnel had one portal or the other visible - in fact in my memory I have believed it was fairly straight. However, there was water dripping from the roof onto corrugated iron - walking in the darkness the sound was quite creepy compared to the first tunnel. The deep cutting between the two was impressive and made me feel very small. I could never visualise how anyone got down to the halt that used to exist there. Glad you answered that one. Emerging from the Ford tunnel the line went out across a wide valley on a beautiful viaduct. At that point I had to turn around and retrace my steps - access to the viaduct was prevented by iron railings. I was able to walk through the Stonehouse tunnel as well on the branch that led to the old steamer terminal at Mutton Cove. Traces of this branch can still be seen, but of course Plymouth College now occupies the site of the old Devonport station.

Significant progress (?) at around @10:00 you can see the “single” truck taking the mountain of spoil away to the road levelling machines further down, where the “other” truck that has tipped is thinking about going back up for another load. Watched the same in the South of France in the 70’s when they constructed the nice airport into the sea and there were “dozens” of the same trucks not 2.

Parts of this video was interesting but alot of it was annoyingly rubbish... did you actually watch this video before uploading it to youtube? You could have left some of the subtitles on a little longer so we don't have to pause to read it and some of the subtitles were hard to read as they blended into the background picture and couldn't see alot of what happened in the tunnels as it was too dark.

Hi Fred. My family lived here during the war, and my three brothers went to the local school. Early 50's. myelder brother and I used to roam around Farmer Worden't fields, during the Rabbit Mixy outbreak. I'll never forget the hundreds of carcases and poorly bunnies. Farm was off Rose Hill, now South West Water, and mainly covered by housing now. Thanks.

Now at the age of 69 years as a teenager I use to walking. The abandoned railway tunnels in devonport and stone House creek , the line from Albert road station used to run along the bottom of what's known as brick fields out to the port at mutton cove to meet up with Atlantic going steamers from the USA. That station closed in 1912 , the old site at mutton cove. I used to fish but now it is a multi-million pound yacht. Marina overlooking the entrance to the river Tamar. It brings fit memories It's nice to see that someone else is still interested in the old steam railway tunnels of Plymouth which still echo the sound of steam locomotives in their Hay Day .🇬🇧👍🏼
