The Baddesley Ensor Railway was a short section of railway that served the Baddesley Colliery until its closure in 1989. The colliery was also the site of a horrendous fire and subsequent explosion caused by coal dust in 1882, which claimed 32 lives. Lots of railway remnants are still visible today, including a viaduct, plenty of sleepers, and a few railway accessories. Pictured below is the rotting viaduct:

Scattered below it are many bricks and stone blocks.

North-east of the viaduct is where we found our way onto where the tracks once lay. You can clearly see the original route of the tracks on maps in the form of a long line of trees. Some long-forgotten sleepers were found on the embankment.

While most are wood, a few concrete posts were scattered around (which are similar lengths/widths to the wooden sleepers) so I wonder if they were also sleepers.

A concrete post was found in the trees down the slope.

...Along with a lot more rotten sleepers!
