Great video. The houses at the start at 1:24 were actually completed in 1995 rather than being Victorian!

The cotton slaves of America were far better off than the small children of Manchester. Pause a while and reflect on that.

Those working conditions are straight from hell.

Nice video with lots of extra information 👏. We’re picking up a boat from Braunston next week and trying to choose a route for the week, so this video was very helpful 😊

Awfull place, clicky boaters, mental amounts of jogger and bikers. I cant let my dog poke its face in a bush without finding humsn poo and tissues. If your an introvert avoid this area we call Mordor.

Lots of comments saying how old ‘their’ canals are

My granddaughter went to James Brinkley primary school, I think she got fed up with me telling her the history of the canal

Hi Layla, I live in South Africa. The sun is always shining here and there is always the risk of developing skin cancer if you have a light skin. I developed a growth on the lower eye lid of my right eye. I do not know if it is cancer or just a benign growth but I went on a high nutrition diet for about two months and the growth have shrunk noticeably. I would like to share the diet with you. The soup Ingredients: - two handfuls of Chopped broccoli, one chopped onion (purple), two bags of green tea, two pinches of mixed herbs, two sticks of cut celery, Two handfuls of frozen and crushed spinach or kale, half a table spoon of crushed garlic, Three shakes of black pepper, seven shakes of turmeric, two tablespoons full of apple cider vinegar (with the mother), one bag of white onion powder soup for flavour, a hand full of cooked red speckled beans and a handful of cooked mince meat. Just add all the ingredients in a pot, add boiling water and switch the stove on high till the water boils. Then lower the heat until the water simmer, Let the soup simmer for an hour. The soup is now ready. I would only drink water in the morning. At 12h00 I would start eating the soup. There will be about two helpings that you can eat in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. I also ate a fruit salad every day in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. (Note: Apparently turmeric reduces the effect of some chemotherapy drugs and thus should not be taken during chemotherapy.) During the rest of the week I would also eat food that contains vitamin D like avocado’s, mushrooms, liver and eggs in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. It seems to be working for me, maybe it will also work for you. I pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ that you will be healed and that the cancer will not return. Amen. I would also like to share the following seven videos with you about salvation and two videos about evolution: Evolution vs. God kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5TCiGyMqd99ZqM DESTROYING Evolution In Under 3 Minutes kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYjIlIOtp7apaMU Watch the Holy Spirit Work in Her Heart (Very Moving) kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3OooHxoqpuef6s Fearing The Lord, God’s Discipline & Sharing The Gospel kzbin.info/www/bejne/mna2ZoqNa5uAqNE A Clear Gospel Presentation by Pastor Steven Anderson - How to go to Heaven kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4moloCNeN2sqLM The Plan of Salvation kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp7OmYWDhdunlZI How to Get Saved kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5u6lZ6rq9eHbNU The Truth About Hell (Selected Scriptures) kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4fdk5uVmbGkadU What is The Gospel of Jesus Christ?

Great to see you both back , your vids are brill ,

Welcome back.

Hi so glad I found your channel I’m from Brum so really enjoyed this vid , good to see you back

I understand lymphoma cancer. I had stage 2/3. I am remission now. But have to watch out for it. I hope you stay in remission. Sending hugs.

Good luck Layla . Praying for you . x

Watched and very much appreciated......All the best, Tricia and Neil....x

God bless you both and yes welcome back xx

so glad that things have improved for your family.. Worth noting that the Bingley 3 rise is also impressive and just a bit down the cut.

Welcome back. Hope yourself and family are well.....All the best, Tricia and Neilxx

Fab video. Been on that walk but not as far as you. Thanks for sharing. But yeah, those urban canals in Brum with new and old buildings surrounding them is really quite astonishing. Those side tunnels are where the canal used to go direct into the factory for loading of goods. There are many throughout that have been bricked up. It’s not Venice but it’s post industrial Britain.

Big respecte Thomas

Could you do a video on how good the two paths are? I would love to cycle from gloucestercto sharpness but some areas are so bad they are not fit for purpose.

And the Caribbean slaves thought they had it rough....

Why isn’t Lincoln’s Fossedyke ever mentioned when it comes to the oldest canal?

The next time someone criticises this country for being privileged point out what we have is because our ancestors toiled in unspeakable conditions to make our country what it once was. Think of them the next time you hear someone pass a flippant remark as to our values.

Berkeley is pronounced Bark-lee.

Thanks for this I live in Tewkesbury

What a palavar. I would have exited the lock, approached the landing and attached a line to the first pile. Then using it as a spring line reversed with helm pushed to port and the boat would have pivoted counter clockwise and it would have come along side the landing with no risk of the boom above the weir.

OMG!! As a kid on the late 60’s and ‘70’s me and my mate would spend ours by this canal as it passed through Grappenhall; whether canoeing, swimming in it, skating on its thin ice in winter or just being naughty in or around it. Brings back so many memories of my childhood 😔

I think it is not possible to over estimate the importance of this canal! It can reasonably be shown to have kickstarted the industrial revolution with cheap coal into Manchester! The Starvationers were, I believe the first container boats each able to hold 50 (I think) tons of coal. They were moved underground by two methods. One was a series of low "locks". When the simple boards of the lock was removed the boats within were washed down to the next lock. The other method was "Legging it" A person would hook a chain to loops fitted in the tunnel wall and walk (leg it) to the other end of the boat, quickly unhooking themselves and nipping to the front of the boat to repeat the process. They wore a leather harness for this and there is a picture of one lady who was persuaded to dress back up for the photo. She lived in one of the cottages now long gone from the canal side 1/4 mile on the right toward Manchester. The Nail makers Cottage is actually an office, but has had many uses previously. The boat used for Queen Victoria was hosed in the boathouse 100yds on the left with the black and white striped doors (visible at 18:30). Unfortunately (or fortunately) it is now a house with the boathouse being only a facade left in place! There is much more to be told about this place but I will leave the last "nugget" as the disappearance of the Ochre colour ( iron still seeping out of the mine) is due to a publicity stunt by United Utilities who pump the water through a reed bed next to the M60 Barton Moss! You can now see the bottom of the canal right up to Trafford park on a good day!

1963 as a boy I was given an exploratory trip into the mine by a miner. He was walking along the ceiling on an M-boat. Nice if that kind miner.. :-). 😊❤

The higher swing bridge is hand cranked. I watched the Matthew pass through there a couple of years ago. Two men did the cranking and when open, they were trapped in the middle of the bridge itself!

the windlesses where electric and install by the American army in the 2nd WW,

Excellent description of your journey. Am 53 and now going to start radiation. Am from Norwich. I also try to vlog my journey and have a channel. "Neil Davidson tenerife" if interested. 1352 subs and any money I make on adverts I donate to a local community cancer care place here in Norfolk.

Has there been any attempt to send in a remote vehicle of some kind to see what its like inside the mines these days? Obviously not saying send people in but it would be so interesting to try get some sort of 3d map of the workings to show just how much there was, would make a really interesting sculpture as well to represent all the tunnels as a big casting 😊

I was always disappointed as a child that the swans didn't change colour to match

I have just revisited this vlog.....How are you now? All the best, Tricia and Neil.......xx

Kayaked the complete Length including the spurs,my favorite canal

Been fascinated with canals over the last few months. This was a great vlog and history lesson. Thank you.

bravo et merci de paris f pierrot 87 ans batelier

I AM HAPPY YOU ARE DOING WELL. YOU CAN USE FENBENDAZOLE AS A PROPHYLACTIC AGAINST CANCER RETURNING. AND JESUS LOVES YOU ❤❤

Just had my MRI and blood tests. PSA 25, biopsy next and not sure what is ahead. U.S.A. Thanks,

would have saved a lot of water if you are going through one boat at a time

hi a friend of mine lives on a narrow boat hes been on that strech of the waterways he works from it and flies his drone when ever he can lol i live just south of bristol on the coast must film up there when my mate is moored on there

As an American, not really knowing British history intimately well as a person who grew up there, I thought this was very well done and explains at the beginning to an outsider. This is one of the first places in the UK where the industrial revolution began. It makes me think similarly of the Arkwright Mill in Manchester, the first known textile mill, from what I know, that made Manchester the first textile mill town in the world.

Hope you two are doing ok, Happy New Year, and thanks again for the cheery vids

Very interesting and informative. Ironic that the original dock on the canal was made redundant by the growing size of ships.

Should have hydro elec fitted to sluces

Excellent edit and informative presentation with a bit of oooh er missus narration very informative and light entertainment 😁 A+

Thank you for sharing. Just found and am now following your channel. I second your message on getting your PSA tested. All biological males 50 or older should at least get tested annually. I'm one month past the end of my radiation treatment. PSA <0.1. Fingers crossed.

Enjoyed your story. Hope you continue doing well. My prostate journey took a different route. My bladder retention and UTI problems + an increase Gleeson score from 6 to 7 sent me to a radical prostatectomy. That was 8 weeks ago and I’m pissing like a stallion , on no drugs and regained continence. My PSA is now negligible. In short my recommendation is , as my Urologist agreed , get it out . Everyone is different but I recommend a prostatectomy.
