What on earth is this female narrator saying, in her dreadful, Northern working-class accent? Could the makers of this video not have found a person who could speak civilized, decent, upper-class, proper English? Not this guttural, common, working-class uncivilized speech. This sort of thing makes me ashamed to be British.

Thank you so much for uploading xx

Fascinating place guys. An area we need to get to soon. Love the cliff railway - a bit like Ilfracombe in Devon. We thought that was the only water powered system in the UK but we were wrong! Love seeing the steam trains - just can't beat them Have a great week ahead guys

great video mate as always ..

Very interesting thank you.

Hello and thanks for the pleasant walkabout. The stone masons 'arrow' mark @21:32 is interesting - All British Army equipment such as blankets, clothing, furniture, household pots and pans etc. have this 'arrow' mark to help identify the items as being of military issue. Convicts are often depicted with this same logo on their prison uniforms.

One of the best jail on the land was in there 2010 till it closed

why did they block up number 3 ? can u imagine how wonderfull it would be if ELR carried on to bacup

i bet you enjoyed being a train driver nice one .

another great railway line nice little line David & Shell.

What a great tour video! Hope to get there sometime soon. Thanks for sharing 😊.

I'd heard that carving numbers and symbols into stone or brick work was a record of what you had laid so you had evidence to get paid the correct amount .

never new there was a prison there thanks for sharing interesting walk round is that lady your daughter does she enjoy what you do. David and Shell.

Cool....never realised there was a prison there...visited a few pubs there in the 80's in my Glastonbury days...enjoyed watching.

At timestamp 2.02 is another Lesser Spotted Orchid of Great Brittian. Tony the Retired Hiker in Essex

That Wild Orchid at timestamp 8:04 is the "Lesser Spotted Orchid of Great Brittian", that I had Identified for me by Kew Gardens in London from a photograph I took locally to me in Essex. Nationally PROTECTED BY LAW, do not pick or disturb only take photographs. Tony the Retired Hiker in Essex.

another informative railway line nice one loved it Thank you .

I was hoping they kept the prison stuff when i was just reading about it being changed to a museum, looks good

Thank you so much for sharing this walk, I've been researching this exact part of the Chequerbent line trying to identify where shafts 1 and 2 were for the Hulton Colliery at Chequerbent - part of the same Hulton family-owned mines as Pretoria (shafts 3 and 4) but Hulton Colliery shafts 1 and 2 were apparently not linked to the Pretoria workings underground (otherwise, I guess, could have been used as access/evacuation during the Pretoria disaster #sad). I'm researching because my grt-grandfather was a miner in 'Hulton Colliery, Chequerbent' as detailed on the 1921 census. The census is fascinating because he listed himself as a Coal Hewer and gave the Mining Co name and address at Chequerbent as his work location, but then says (underlined) 'On Strike'. I'm aware there were mining strikes at Hulton as relations didn't seem to be good in general, but haven't been able to find details of a strike in 1921. I believe Hulton Colliery shafts 1 and 2 may have been where the group of trees was on the right on your snow-covered shot of the curve in the trackbed? But if anyone can advise I'd love to know ... would just love to be able to go and stand in my grt-grandfather's 'footprints'.

Cheers thank you for pt 2 realy enjoyed the video.

I live in Scotland right now so much history like I’m homeschooled and thank you for advice or not advice history

another great find David and Shell Thank you both as always keep finding many more.

It's a nice little trip and tea. Just a shame the track isnt very long.

another great history video from ya David & Shell love it.

Why do we in this country waste so many resources we once had, but I forgot you can buy anything from China. Brilliant video about Horwich Works.

Great update I’m mark just joined your channel was watching one from couple of years ago of the Wirral way I live in Wirral in irby so it’s a big part of my history there. Look forward to more.

another gem to find i have been to this working railway i helped out there in 2023 last year.thanks for the video.

nice one i had a layout similar when i was a kid.

They most bring it back

wow i rebuilt bsa ksu933 and sold it to Arfon years ago

great find had quite a few old car in my time great video as always Thank you.

Free vintage bus rides, included with museum admission, if a driver is available. Presently this is normally every Sunday.

Enjoyed watching this as my husband worked for Rossendale Borough Council as a civil engineer. It was his job to survey these tunnels to see if a walkway could be made through. It was decided after the survey that one of the tunnels was unsafe so it was blocked up at either end. The walkway through the other tunnel was made after repairs were carried out to the structure where needed. This was over 30 years ago. Since then tunnel number three was also opened up and made safe to allow the cycleway to run through much more recently.

Gosh - so many abandoned buildings. Almost like a village. So many memories would have been made in those places. Sad to see them all in such a state now Just incredible that a sawmill is just there as it was more or less left!! Like you, why not just let things be and leave in situ - you don’t have to break everything 😡 That was one amazing hike.

I stayed in kettleness old train station 50 years ago when in cub scouts , worste time of my life ,traumatised me for life , old scout master , il leave it at that , but certainly a lovely old building Can drive to it , my memory was just for as full if bunk beds. Was used for summer camps

another great video Thank you great to explore abandoned buildings cheers David & Shell.

Thankyou so much for this video. We both saw lots other air shows,watching from a good vantage point in Lyme Park. We are thinking of visiting the museum on Sunday. We abOlutelyclove sharing history on our channel. Only just found you while researching our visit. Now subscribed to you.

Good video guys.

Absolutely love this walk, you can feel the history of the place, such beautiful coastline and you can imagine the steam railway 🚂. Thank you for letting me share your walk.

Nice walk guys. Love a disused railway and the tunnels still look pretty good nick. An interesting watch. 👏🏻👏🏻

A sheet over the refuage on the clips a less dusty environment

It is so hard to understand you with you accent and then over music. Please don't add music while talking. Just trying to help.

Loved watching this. I served my apprenticeship there back in the 70's when it was an operational bus depot.

Enjoyed watching the Museum

This was a fascinating place! “Now you’re showing your age” 😃😃 Green Shield Stamps. Flippin eck. I remember my dad driving and nearly running out of fuel a few times just to get to a garage that did the stamps 😃😃😃. My Mum used to go mad at him Some amazing memories there. So many exhibits. Love the buses Brilliant bus ride! Love the way you can get hands on with some of the stuff there. Hope you guys are having a good weekend.
