The railway items are part of a fledgling railway preservation attempt that seems to have stalled in recent yrs.. the viaduct was part of the Somerset and Dorset Railway that closed in 1966.. it ran from Bournemouth to Bath through the Mendip Hills.. cheers for an interesting video.
It is still in use; after just a little digging (no quarry pun intended) you can find out that the quarry is a site of special scientific interest (fossils) and that the light railway system within it is privately owned, hence the railway cars being worked on, the tracks being maintained, and those big nuts being all shiny and new. If they'd gone in through 'the front way', they'd have been met by active workings, new industrial units, big gates and lots of CCTV cameras.
A most interesting explore ,Colin . Maybe the larger bridge was once part of a branch line for transporting whatever was being quarried . Stay safe , and don't forget your trousers and wellies .
Love old places like this there was a lot of stuff like this in the 80s where we would play as kids old factories ,scrap yards even old houses and a dairy with a collapseing floor but nothing on this scale propper awesome place fellas 🤘
Cheddar is my home town! I was shocked at the start, glad you enjoyed your time in our village. I’ve jumped off the highest cliff into that water in my youth. I wouldn’t go near the edge now 😂
You guys were 5 mins from my house haha. there are a couple of guys that patrol that area so you were lucky to get inside it was nice to finally see what was inside that building.
Brilliant explore again! I also find old bridges fascinating! I think it’s all the old school engineering that went into building them and the fact they made them almost look beautiful! Everything back then I think was on another level compared to todays stuff hence why I like watching your videos!
Fantastic video guys, so great to the remains of a piece of british industry, loved the old Ruston dragging made in Lincolnshire by an iconic company. Keep up these awesome recordings.
What a fantastic - beautiful place - thanks for the upload. Would be great to know it's history. Sad about the trains just left to rot. Love the way it's become nature's domain again and you're right the bridge is spectacular. Local town library or townhall or nearest town/city may even have a museum - with even online. Who built that bridge for starters - got to be records.
We went here last summer, one of my fave explores, can't wait to go back again with my teenage kids! There's a nice gentle slope down the other side, we never got in the building though, well done guys!
I watch every single one of your videos and I have to say that I enjoyed this better than any that you have done in a long while - and they are all great! Thank you! I would need a whole fortnight in that quarry!
Man so much is in such good shape built that place well out of some thick concrete, that storage facility has such preserved machines makes me wonder if they got restored and with that place built like a fortress it turned into a great place to keep them in good shape. Definitely not a completely forgotten place. Wonder what's going into the ground by the conveyor coming from the hopper at ground level. Looked like there was a huge pit with grates over it too between the hopper and storage building...cool place
So great to see the gorge again. I was a young lad when I visited in the early 70s and we saw Diana Dors standing by the side of the road next to her white Corniche convertible.
I used to go swimming in a disused quarry about 10 miles away from this one and I never even knew it was there! That area is full of old flooded quarries! May have to plan a visit myself one day to see this one.
Re- Your prev video with Full Throttle with lots of Rovers. We had our Rover 25 written off & purchased a new Ford Focus MK2, 05 plate, which was a recent new model. The Ford dealership enquired if we had a trade-in, & we explained our write off Rover. Around this time Rover had gone into receivership (think Chinese were interested), Salesman advised us that head office had requested all Rovers be removed from forecourt and no Rover to be taken as trade in. When we finally got the Rover write off cheque the Insurance loss advisor advised that if the accident had happened 2 weeks later, the pay out would of been less than half what we got, but we were fortunate the accident ( and therefore valuation date) was prior to Rover cars valuation price crash. Could the amount of Rovers at this forest be aligned with dealers desperate to rid their forecourt of Rovers at that time?
The "Country Store" was part of Edinburgh Woollen Mil Group. I used to work for them in the 90's... Never had anything to do with Edinburgh mind..... Main ware house is 2 mins away from me in Carlisle..
Brill explore Colin, different and so interesting, loved the train carriages, some reminded me of pictures of those being pulled by Stevenson’s Rocket lol 👍🐾🥰🐾🥰
Love it, what a place of nostalgia and to see it was lovely. You two scare me as you are either brave or mad - my heart was in my mouth when you were trying to find a way down. Lol 😂 well Done 🌹
This was interesting. I’ve never seen an explore of an abandoned quarry before. Some fascinating things left behind. The old AEC lorry would be a great restoration project. Thanks for another great video guys.
Cheddar Gorge is the place I saw my first Peregrine falcon, watch the father take food to mother with her chicks, amazing, another wonderful video yet again, is the crane for sale, it's fantastic🤣
What a really neat find. So much to see. How did you get down there? Can only wonder how old it is. Love old bridges and train tracks. Pretty cool and thank you.
The tall large building is a stone crushing plant, the excavators are 10 RB X 2 and a face shovel attachment on the ground and a Smith next to the crusher....
Brilliant exploration! Inspired me to go there after hiking at Cheddar today. Alas it seems all the entry points have been closed up again, so no luck for us today. Such a shame. Re-watching your footage again to make up for my failed attempt today! :)
Hi Colin is this all near cheaddar gorge as fairly close and need to check it out I know you don’t disclose info fr good reason but like the lake n quarry 🙂
You two make some cracking vlogs!You can always rely on Stu to go clambering up some rickety old ladder somewhere!!Those things inside the building looked very well preserved.I wonder when it all closed down?xx
Why do I have de ja vu!? I’ve seen someone (could of been stokze) I’m not sure here last year, this is twisting my mind I can’t think who it was but defo seen a vid of this not long ago with the bomb crate.
What an interesting find. Shame some of those things are not in a museum, as they are history of that area and the industrial age. Thank you so much for this one, 💕

What was this quarry called? I can’t find anything online about it near cheddar gorge...
@@robpbandit it's called Emborough Quarry.
I have seen this quarry before on an other channel. I believe the stuff in the workshop is still in use by someone. It's not abandoned.
Yeah it definitely looked like some of the railway stuff was being restored

I love it when you film the drive there, it all adds to the video
I only watch when comments are turned on, comments can be just as good as the video itself.
This video fantastic as always 👍

Great video. This is actually a railway preservation site, that has now unfortunately closed.

Another fantastic find/explore Colin. What a beautiful township at the beginning, very picturesque.
Be safe out and about, cheers from the states 👊👍✌️

Interesting place. Someone has been restoring those railway carriages in the recent past.

I always have a good laugh with you two - you're like a couple of naughty school boys!!! 😂 That was a great (and different) explore!
👍

A great video Lauren loved it, she said the music at the beginning always makes her feel happy 😃🐻❄️🐇🦄🐶
I watch every single one of your videos and I have to say that I enjoyed this better than any that you have done in a long while - and they are all great! Thank you! I would need a whole fortnight in that quarry!
What an amazing place... all that history... the people that worked there... etc.....

@@mzdtuk a burglary.....not exactly.
Loved the stone bridge!
I love your cinematography. I enjoy your content and the haunted hospital is how I found your channel.
So great to see the gorge again. I was a young lad when I visited in the early 70s and we saw Diana Dors standing by the side of the road next to her white Corniche convertible.
Looks like the quarry could date back to 1950's possibly. Quite dangerous places, have an accident here on your own and no one would find you🤕💀☠️
Wow amazing place I’m sure there is lots of history behind it industrial is very interesting. Thank you
You should tell stokze to wear dark trousers next time it was hard to tell if those skidmarks were real😂😂😂
the crane in the building is a smiths and hasnt been taxed since march 1996
What a GRAND find !!!
THAT WAS GOOD FIND,REMINDS ME OF WHEN STARTED MY APPRENTICESHIP IN THE CONSTRUTION INDISTRY😆
I used to go swimming in a disused quarry about 10 miles away from this one and I never even knew it was there! That area is full of old flooded quarries! May have to plan a visit myself one day to see this one.
Loves these outdoor explores! Great work- as always 💪🏼
Thanks Emma ☺️

Cheddar Gorge is great. I did my first rock climbing there and explored the caves back in 2011. I need to go back again at some point
Safety first guys..... This place would make a great heritage railway and heritage centre.
Brill explore Colin, different and so interesting, loved the train carriages, some reminded me of pictures of those being pulled by Stevenson’s Rocket lol 👍🐾🥰🐾🥰

This was interesting. I’ve never seen an explore of an abandoned quarry before. Some fascinating things left behind. The old AEC lorry would be a great restoration project. Thanks for another great video guys.
The plane you mentioned in the video was either a spitfire or a hurricane going by the sound of the engine.
Nice one boys nice to see you out discovering old places again 👍 😀
Love going to cheddar gorge. Brilliant place.
Great explore colin as per usual 👍
I could spend all day exploring that place. I'd even take a tent and make it a two day trip
Superb explore the stuff inside looks pretty good the two trucks look like they have survived quite well very interesting explore .
Thank you for all the time and effort you put into making your videos, I have not long found you and have been binge watching for a couple of weeks 😁
Thank you for your support I really appreciate it 🙂
Impressive place. Shame the engine was left outside, everything left inside was impressively clean.
Another grand find, thank you 💙
Where there's a kingfisher there is fish , I live not that far from there (Bath) and I will be having a look/fish there !
Cheddar Gorge is the place I saw my first Peregrine falcon, watch the father take food to mother with her chicks, amazing, another wonderful video yet again, is the crane for sale, it's fantastic🤣
What a really neat find. So much to see. How did you get down there? Can only wonder how old it is. Love old bridges and train tracks. Pretty cool and thank you.

Colin keep up your good work 💪📹 God bless you both 🙏🥶
those quarry edges is how i broke my wrist as a teenager on my bike ( not same ones but similar )
Thanks for another great explore 👌 I did find it interesting thanks for sharing 👍 😀
Great video thumbs up from Australia 🇦🇺🤠 👍
Wow that's really cool it was probably really active with trains going up and down the tracks I wonder how old it is and great video.
Brilliant exploration! Inspired me to go there after hiking at Cheddar today. Alas it seems all the entry points have been closed up again, so no luck for us today. Such a shame. Re-watching your footage again to make up for my failed attempt today! :)
Loved the stand by me reference 🙌🏻
18:07 the AEC truck is taxed 😂
Great video kind regards Trev Barnsley South Yorkshire England 🏴🇯🇲.
Hi Colin is this all near cheaddar gorge as fairly close and need to check it out I know you don’t disclose info fr good reason but like the lake n quarry 🙂
We have LOTS of places like this in Utah. (the states)
Hi Colin another great video thanks
Colin was quite surprised at the size of the nuts & bolts for his ikea bookshelves ;)
The old crane was registered 1958. Great video
You two make some cracking vlogs!You can always rely on Stu to go clambering up some rickety old ladder somewhere!!Those things inside the building looked very well preserved.I wonder when it all closed down?xx
1930s Ruston Bucyrus 10-RB draglines is my guess
That 6 wheel crane is still taxed,runs out may 20
The layland ANC crane is all legal av just checked it on the internet definitely still in use like. The rest of the stuff in the shed. Top job guys
"now this is a big pair of nuts"
got me laughing so hard lol
0:33 👌😃😁
Hi Colin this place was brilliant and also a great explor very interesting video thanks for sharing 👍
Dam this is one of the best ones you have done mate! Only second two those P6 videos you did can't think what made them so good 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Brilliant thanks guys it always amazes me what gets left behind!!
I HAVE to find out where this is. Looks really interesting.
Think this is Moon hill Quarry, Nr Chedder, ex Amey Roadstone, when there many years ago, when it had just closed down....
Miss that place so long better on night time cheddar gorge 😉
Why do I have de ja vu!? I’ve seen someone (could of been stokze) I’m not sure here last year, this is twisting my mind I can’t think who it was but defo seen a vid of this not long ago with the bomb crate.

Such a cool place 😎
There's plenty of roots to choose from 😆 🤣 😂
hI SIR , question,,, can you tell me the title of the soundtrack you played in the beginning ,,,, look new age music, thank you in advance.
Excelente video barbas , eso se ve que lleva un buen tiempo abandonado.
The coaches and wagons are undergoing restoration, as are the cranes, the wagons look interesting, maybe ex Lynton & Barnstaple railway...???
Another awesome video dude!
this is an awsesome find fellas
What a great campground that would be. Campers go in and out by train. No cars inside. The possibilities are endless. Thanks fellas, you're nuts!
This was interesting.a nice abandoned quarry. Fascinating things left behind.
Loads of love from India 😊awesome..!
Thank you 😊 🇮🇳 ❤️
THE DYNAMIC DUO 📸📸👍😎
Plane sound lik a spitfire
Wow
Love it 1984 is the best year, I keep.mwaning to add, where in the country are you? The village you drive through I would. Like to visit
Blue bell hill 😁. Not quite
First here. Dedicated follower! Great video content. Cheers my friend.
Only round the corner from cheddar , the company who ran the caves went bankrupt a while back x
You've done some excellent explores in your time but nothing will ever match the haunted Hospital / aslyum.👍🤣😂🤣
Loco reminds me of ones down coal mines. Looks just like them
My House was built for the quarry out of the quarry!
Do a reg check on the smaller crane comes up with Leyland
