I remember going in there when I was 14 (25 years ago), and I sh*t myself (not literally). I went in at the bit that's flooded on the video. It's pitch black, and there were no torches on phones then. We got about 100 metres in a ran out, fearing being atracked by crack addicts! Feel more confident walking through there now after watching this. I bet it'd be a great site for a movie!

There used to be a tunnel under what is now The Fishergate centre which emerged on the other side where Preston Basin connected it to the northern section.

how do you get to the wasteland bit that has the entrance? whereabouts is it

The Lancaster canal is not abandoned. The canal is navigable from Preston to Tewitfield - a distance of 41 miles. There are no locks on the main canal. The Northern Reaches from Tewitfield to Kendal was abandoned in the 1960's following the building of the M6 motorway. But that's miles away from where you indicate.

Awesome explore i really enjoyed it thank you 😊⚓️👍🧲

Shame about all the rubbish! Interesting walk though

I think it was the line that ran behind 24 Grafton road at Ribbleton near Preston. I lived there until I was about 7, 1944 when I was born. We used to think it was the line that took the "loonies" to Whittingham Mental Hospital. Used to put coins on the line for the trains to flatten. No internet censorship then.

Interesting. Clean the whole place up. It could be a great historic walk between Preston and longridge and good for family walks. Needs health and safety in a big way. Architect to make roof safe. Lighting etc.

Some of the original limestone sleepers from the Preston and Longridge Railway.were re-used in the construction of the spire to St Worburg’s Church in Preston adjacent to the line. You showcthe church at the end of your video. From time to time you can climb the tower.

What a Shithole, why is it closed ? Why is it allowed to become a shithole presume someone owns it ?? If so it should be sold and redeveloped Why Just Left ?? Don't have this in London every square inch is re used.. Old garage become flats Old petrol station become flats Old Public Tiolet replaced by Apartments.. Cram them in is order of the day..

4:05 lmfao your right to hide your things we have a bad crack problem here and I swear the ammount of homeless we have in Preston wouldn’t surprise me if there’s people living down there :p

If the trust have their way the "Lancy" will be gone, totally neglected, very sad.

Where did you guys go???haven't seen you on either of your sites ,hope you are both ok and nothing bad has happened. Just concerned for you both. 👋👋Kevin from Michigan.

I live stone's throw from that track, near where it splits for the new branch line. My home is even visible in the birds-eye shot. Let me tell you, the dumping/fly tipping around here is atrocious, and not just in the tracks. It seems there must be a reputation that the council just don't care about the suburbs and the state of them

Pause @12:15 and I'll quickly highlight what I see. As we exit the main tunnel we have a section that's open to the elements, sun and rain. Plant foliage is growing along what is supposedly the 'active working line' - agreed? This is in contrast to the dormant, inactive side, yet there's no undergrowth at all! This makes absolutely no sense at all. We would expect the exact opposite to be true. This could point to the so called 'missing' track actually being THE active track, if true it raises a few issues. Why would you dismantle one but not the other? Evolutionary wise perhaps the present track is the oldest track and was probably inactive whilst the more technological advanced line, possibly electrified, was carted off when they finally stopped operating? The total lack of ventilation shafts is also notable.

Just a quick note. On the video at 14.58 min at hill top quarry, can any twitcher confirm, flying in from the left of the view a common buzzard after the Jackdaws?. Steve

I liked the video, but you missed the best parts of the tram road that ran through Bamber Bridge. It crossed station road, approx 1/4 mile south from the railway station, then it went across land that is now the railway line near to the end of Edward Street and along the land in front of now the Brownedge church and across Todd Lane North, where a footpath was built on the old tramway and is still in use today, all the way to Preston.. I also have a stone sleeper that was found next to Station Road, where the tramway crossed it, when some work was being carried out. Has stated in another comment below, there is a large section of tramway in Worden Park Leyland. Many Thanks Steve

Always wondered what it is, never got round to looki g it up so thank you for this

Great video. Would you mind if I use some of your footage in a project providing I credit your channel? If you have an email address please let me know (or you can find mine on my channel).

Good cornish stone for the steps good choice. Great footage 👏 some lovely detail on top of that building. Very nice thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more video on the canal too soon.❤ Stay safe hope you're down this way again one day. Kev

Also to note, If you go across the M61, opposite the Walton Summit basin, you will find on the southern section's original route a raised pipe that once went over the canal and an old canal bridge.

Very impressive architecture. Thanks for sharing such a building. ATB to you, Sue and Josh.

Wonderful. I've driven past this hundreds of times, but never got round to visiting it.

What an amazing piece of architecture and memorial. The photography was brilliant and even more so due to the misty fog.❤

Dear Elliot, Sue and Josh Once again you have discovered and presented an amazing building. For those who do not live near by, they would not be able to appreciate it if it was not for your work. It would be marvelous to have watched the stone masons, iron workers and carpenters at work on the memorial. If by any chance you make it down to Portsmouth you should take in the Old Dock Yards and view the HMS Warrior, HMS Victory. They to are an amazing feat of engineering. Mark Alberta, Canada

Found it. Been looking for the channel. Messaged you. Don't need to reply

Just subscribed, sorry been on catch up after opp, love both channels

Hi guys. Living in Brinklow with farming ongoing all around me this is exactly what we see all be it not from a drone lol but this work that's done by farmers across our country puts food on our tables you need to support our farmers but sadly a lot of food products comes from abroad. You had a great permission to film this 👌 I bet you charged your batteries a few times to cover the footage you got of them working. Well done great message Great video. All the best kev the Brinklow kayaker

Indeed I watch farmers for the same reason I watch narrowboaters. They're each singular things unlike anything else and can only be done one way. Nice vid!

Dear Elliott, Sue and Josh It was the title of this episode that caught my attention. You are so correct about it being a ballet. Amazing what one can find if they keep their eyes, ears and mind open to those things around them. Keep surprising us with unusual events and activities. Many thanks from the other side of the world. Mark Alberta, Canada

Great drone work Elliot. Very relaxing watching the farm workers doing their thing, collecting whatever it was they'd cut. Take care. ATB to you and Sue.

I used to drive past every week. People have lived in here until very recently.

Fantastic insight and drone footage, look forward to more

Really liked this format a lot of details well done 👍

Hi guys, 👋👋Kevin from Michigan here, how strange and surreal everything was,1) the fact the place is still standing 2) there is so much rubbish around 3) usually anything of value is stolen "there is a lot of worthy valuable stuff there ,hell that mirror on the wall was gorgeous and not shattered 4)you have to wonder if the people who lived there and left all that stuff, if they were "aware" of what took place there 5)imagine living/sleeping in that upstairs bedroom room were she was so brutally murdered and never knowing what took place at the foot of the bed, 6)and what caused the last dwellers to just up and leave with all their valuables laying there scattered about, and 7) you have to ask why didn't the vandals just steal and break everything insight, ???so so many questions hum😕😕 What a great opportunity for some incredibly interesting content to "go back to the house knowing what you know now ,and try to piece together the story of what and where everything took place. For instance which back window did they break into and which staircase did they used to get to her home ,and is that Singer sewing machine hers?and now that you know what took place and how the killers escaped you could paint a real fascinating picture for us , "believe me if I could do it I would ,I love the mystery of it all , except for the poor lady being bludgeon to death ,all for nothing. Hell I am still fascinated by Jack the Ripper and was it really the Polish meat packer John Kosminski or the crazy old American Doctor who collected women's uteruses and fled back to the states or the woman hating British doctor who loved to hack up dead bodies for parts, all just fascinating questions... sorry I went on a mystery tangent there 😁😁😁 anyway another awesome video guys , besides now that I think of it I bet Sue would never return to that house again, knowing what she knows, 😂😂😂 any ways love both your channels and as I always say "keep pushing on"💪

All can say is how very sad but well done you both tc now from us the oldies 🤗🤗👍👍😔

Dear Elliott and Sue, Thank you for doing this follow up. How sad that people will vandalize someone else's home. If only they knew the story behind this sad house. I wonder what will happen to the house. Considering the condition it is currently in it would be best demolished. Such a sad state of affairs. Mark Alberta, Canada (currently in Portsmouth)

Hello Elliott and Sue.... Looks like the fire place surround has been removed along with copper piping. Great 2nd part to the story I presume you must have got the correct room where the murder taken place as you visited them all 😅... So not spooky but eerie I dare you to stay the night in the house. ❤ You'd love it 😀 The house looks like the damage could be reversed to end up a lovely property 😀 new rendering outside. On the market is it lol I know you guys check these small details... I guess the place has been turned over maybe looking for that hidden treasure still eh... Looking forward to seeing more like this.. Kev the brinklow kayaker 😊

Thanks Elliot and Sue, a very interesting video. I'd have thought the cottages would have been knocked down after all the years since the murder. Thanks once again for sharing. Take care and stay safe.

Nice little video. I have done a few urbex videos in the past, they always gave me a strange feeling inside, and you rarely see an intact toilet! I'm quite surprised at how good a condition the first building was in, the second part is the more common scene, so I wonder if there's a story in which property was abandoned first?

EXPLORE THE UK, You're the best! I subscribed because I love your content!

Great stuff! Keep up the good work.

Loving the format, voice over aka podcast and the detail is excellent. Looking forward to more like this one. Take good care of yourselves and stay well ~ Lacy, Mike & Hamish

Excellent delivery of a fascinating story. We can't wait to watch the vlog where you visit the building.

really interesting podcast

Hi Elliott Hope you, Sue and Josh are keeping well. What a wonderful and well researched story. So different from your other vlogs. Congratulations on the novelty. Mark Alberta, Canada (currently in Norwich)

Thankyou Elliot , really interesting podcast , looking forward to the next vlog and pod cast story .

Well done Elliott nicely read out. Looking forward to the next one with footage of the house where the dirty deed was done. Maybe a visit during the night at 2.17am would be eventful 🤔 Anyway lovely podcasty thing ❤ Cheers Kev
