Thought I was watching Ian Towers and Keith Bebbington in the Blue and Tangerine.🤣You need a better Coach(and a medal) Up the Latics 🤗Regards

Another amazing visit to the newly created unknown! An area unknown to me previously but looking up the allocated locomotives back in the 1960s… amazing! Great job

Good luck to Oldham for the rest of the season, hope to see you back in L2 next season. 🤞 From an O.

Awesome 😎

What an absolutely miserable day that must have been for the Oldham lot. As if it isn't bad enough to have witnessed the decline and surrender of their town over the years, they get to spend good money on a day like that.

Glodwick today....😮😂😂

Was you laughing at our lovely Leyton Orient fans when we missed that penalty 😂😂

I am.a 72 year old Orient fan. I honestly feel so much for you. We know we are the true fans when we follow lower league sides. Good luck to The Latics x

At least it wasn't raining!😂😂

Disappointing travel arrangements. Disappointing outcome but then Blackpool, my hometown team, lose to Birmingham on Sunday!! No time for a shed bash across the road at Temple Mills!! Grrrrr

Another great quest into the almost unknown! Good job!! 😊😊

There used to be a 'lone' turntable at the M'cr end of the depot - whilst, at the eastern side, there used to be literally a SQUARE ROUNDHOUSE, which I managed to visit (can't find my 'shed-bash' photos following my house-move 😕 ). The site was piled high with 'drums & pallets,' but INSIDE the shed, there was a bit more space and the turntable-pit was evident and the smoke-flues above were still extant. The site no longer has these buildings, it seems - I can't even recall WHEN exactly it was 🤔 that I had that walkabout (WITH permission, of course).

You need to get a drone for instances like this you could then see from above !!

Super video! I grew up in stoke reading and overlaying old maps to find what had survived. If you cross Glebe street & walk past the statue you can see the remaining outline of the old turntable too! The photos are great too- lots of Stoke Scots! (4fs)

The 'railway-looking' buildings seen on your r.h.s. are, AFAIK, those of the "Knotty's" loco-works ....... North Staffs Rly locomotive workshops, which occupied a 12-acre site. After 'Grouping,' the LMS transferred operations across to Crewe Works - with most of the old works later being sold to Robert Hyde & Son Ltd ("North Stafford Steel Foundry"), ALSO manufacturing for the railway industry [John Robert Hyde subsequently continuing the family business]. If you'd have continued much further down, you'd have reached the former (private) "California Works" - another manufacturer of railway traction, as "Kerr, Stuart & Co.," that works being much larger in size and scope. A great many designs of locos were built here over the years - many of full-size, standard-gauge, but also for export to a multitude of clients, and of various gauges.

Having lived there for many years many years ago, it was great to see an update and how things have changed in the 21st century! Lived it and loved it!❤

And a great time was had by all. 😊

Another documentary style exploration! Excellent video and I’m glad your team won their cup tie. 😊

And a good result today!! Oldham Athletic 1. 0 Dag & Red 🎉

Trolleys get everywhere because AI is out of control

It looks like the scene at 2:19 used to have a bridge over the road, and I think there must've been a dip in the road under the bridge too, now filled in and levelled out to reduce flooding risks. And my A-Z street atlas for "greater manchester" shows the road at 2:19 is indeed salmon field road.

I've walked that footpath to royton the other way, from royton.

I've got a book on railways around oldham and it shows a steeply graded freight branch veering off from the royton branch which you could've seen from the bridge carrying the road to shaw via derker. And the bridge is still there but it's filled in now and buried on the derker side. And there's a now a footpath along the old route to royton starting at that old bridge.

Thinsis sooooooooo sweet ❤❤❤

They made a major expansion to the museum years ago without parking accommodation and renamed it to the BC railway museum. Born in Squamish, everything sucks here now bcuz it’s too infested with tourists. Ever since the Olympics.

And did you check out the locations of Allerton, Edge Hill, Walton on the hill, etc?? Many modern day shed-bash options for you.

Thanks for posting this video. Would this be the 9th tier of English football?

Stewatts lane TMD is still there

Fantastic video! How far are you able to fly the drone before you have to reposition?

it sure has changed since i was a kid , that lake used to be stocked with rainbow trout twice a year ,maybe more .. lots of parties there and drag racing on 192nd on the weekends . those were the days !! thanks for the tour !!

Hi! Nice video, I’ve just subscribed. Is Megan ok? She hasn’t posted in a while and we’re all worried about her.

The line you see there on the right is the old goods line to Hamworthy/Poole docks. There is talk about re opening it although its seeming slim. And then on the oppsite end was the main junction.

What a great exploration! Researching this area of which I am unfamiliar, I encountered an article about the Hamworthy branch! Towards the end of the pdf reached via this link. wimrail.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Corkscrew063.pdf Again, great work!!

Is that not an old tram line at 12:29? Or it could be an old L&Y siding as they often had sharply curved sidings in their yards which is what the "pug" 0-4-0 steam loco's were made for as only that size of loco, and four wheeled wagons could travel such tight bends, and they often had little mini turntables which were made for four wheel wagons to turn through 90 degrees into sheds, just in case any younger folk might be watching this who most likely won't have seen any of the old sites unless they've ever visited a preserved heritage site where such old stuff is still in place to show the history, like one really old site somewhere near leeds, I can't remember the name of it right now, but apparently it's been there since about 1758 at the real birth of the first ever "railways" with wooden rails for old horse drawn wagons, round about the same time as the early canals were being built.

Is that really a rail bridge at 9:57?! It looks more like an aqueduct for a canal! Was it built by a canal architect? There's another rail bridge still in use at kearsley just like that one built to excessive proportions just like an aqueduct.

If you like old railway bridges so much then why not visit healey dell near rochdale if you've not been there already, I've been there loads of times and there's an old viaduct over 100 foot high, and further along there's two bridges side by side, according to some historians it slid away from it's proper place, so they had to build another right alongside it, but some folk just think the first one was just built in the wrong place! Take your pick which story you believe.

I seem to remember you could get onto the delph branch path through a gateway from a nearby road near to where it curved away from the mainline.

The delph "donkey" line branched off the main line just before it crosses the big viaduct, and I've walked it at least once, and met some stroppy bint on a horse. And that branch is said to have once been temporarily extended to deliver materials to a site somewhere a bit further away, I can't remember where now, it'll be in one of my books somewhere. And I think you'll be very lucky to find any evidence of that stretch of line now.

I once tried to approach that tunnel at grotton about 20-odd years ago but it was too overgrown, or there was some other obstruction, I can't remember exactly. I remember seeing the one remaining platform there, and what is apparently the old station master's house, and in your picture of the platform it looks like the station must've closed long before the line did judging by the tree growth. But I bet I could get down to the tunnel now, but it's a bit pointless if it's blocked up, most likely for safety, maybe it'll get reopened as a footpath and cycleway sometime in the future, if there's funding for it, like what's been done in waterfoot where an old blocked up tunnel has been made safe and reopened and surfaced with tarmac inside and fitted with lighting. And last time I tried to see the other end of lydgate tunnel I found a road bridge over the line which I couldn't get under without trespassing so I had to leave it. But even if I did try and get down to the tunnel at lydgate I'd most likely only get drenched in appalling sweat like what happened when I struggled through the trees grown on clifton viaduct. The bridge at the other end, near or at greenfield is on a road from mossley which has grand scenic views of the valley below, and if you don't drive there is a bus service along it, or at least there was, I don't know if it still runs now as I've not been anywhere near there for 20-odd years now. And when I was last there the track bed after the greenfield end of the tunnel had been made into someone's garden and a bit further on there's a bridge been taken away and then there was some houses built on the track bed just before it joined the existing trans-pennine route.

And now the footbridge is replaced by a tunnel? Compare current iPhone maps and Google maps Very instructive !

I've walked this route the other way back in 2006 and someone had poured some kind of filthy brown sludge on the top walls of the little bridge at 9:40, I don't know what it was but I wasn't going to touch it!

Why do so many councils insist on filling in old cuttings? Do they cost too much to leave empty? I wish they would leave them open. And what a good series of videos, with a really civilised commentary without constant profuse blasphemy like some, and far better use of the camera too without swinging it about making it impossible to watch without suffering brutal dizziness.

I've got an old manchester A-Z street atlas and it shows three more sidings near the old building at 4:55, with one line to the left and two entering the building, though I'm not sure if it's the same building, but there only appears to be one such building on my map adjacent to the glodwick road station. And is that hamilton st. at 5:50? And wasn't glodwick road station down in a cutting which is now filled in up to street level and grassed over, with the bridge removed? I seem to remember walking around there some years ago when the old platforms were still visible as the cutting wasn't fully filled in at that time.

Actually there were SIX stations if you include derker, or royton junction. And here's a boring fact, mumps station was once used on the coronation street TV soap opera show to impersonate broad green station which is at the western end of the M62 motorway near liverpool! who were they trying to kid?! It was no good just changing the signs as I've been to both stations and broad green is nothing like mumps was, it's still there and it's miles more basic with just two tracks and two platforms, though it did once have a short siding which is long gone now.

Why take the footbridge over the oldham way out? What a stupid decision that was! Especially as it was wheelchair accessible too. And that stretch of line only closed in about 2012 if I remember right, when it was briefly used by the metrolink tram service, where they had the only level crossing I've ever seen crossing seven lanes of traffic! How quickly it has overgrown in just 12 years or so. And it's good to see some pictures of central and clegg street stations actually in use at last, I think the only ones I've seen so far only show them seriously decaying after closure. And I actually got to see the old grand Lancashire & Yorkshire railway freight building before it was so outrageously destroyed, that could've been put to good use like providing somewhere for youngsters to go and play instead of just wandering the streets looking for victims to pick on, a bit like what's been done at the old central station building in Leicester, which is also shown elsewhere here on you tube. And I've travelled through werneth and mumps a few times, and also on the trams after those stations too were demolished, as well as the bridges at mumps.

Loved the trip around Oldham Whilst looking for background I came across this OS link. Previous postings DNW?? maps.nls.uk/view/126521876

Glimpsed DP1 Deltic between the other exhibits! I read that there was something of an A4 reunion a while back!! Great video!!
