A Disused railway line. A colliery and a Power station

In this video we walk along a disused railway line to look at the remains of an old Colliery, mine and look for the remains of a power station.The disused railway line is the East Lancashire railway Manchester Bury and Rossendale line. The Colliery , old mine is the Outwood colliery in the Irwell valley near Salford and Manchester. on this countryside walk we are looking for clues to the Industrial past. This area was once very Industrial. There is little left of the old mine and power station. We discover a railway bridge a fine example of Railway architecture. We look at some old maps to try and find these abandoned places. This video visits abandoned places and old industrial sites to examine the Industrial history of Salford and Manchester.

Go back to Ringley Road Station and go on top of the road bridge. Head towards Whitefield and you come to a car park for the outdoor trail (about 200 metres ). The buildings on the left of the car park (most recently a little engineering shop ) used to be the bath house for the colliery miners to wash up after work.

[@itsmeintorrespain2714]

Go a little bit further on and you will come to a turning on the left into Chapeltown Road. I lived there for 10 years from 1994 when the colliery was less overgrown. it was a lovely area for walks.

I was brought up in Ringley in the 1950s, went to Ringley St Saviours school, If I had a quid for every time my mates put me in those stocks etc, I love your vlogs Martin but this one in particular, because I am so familiar with the locations, I Started work in Radcliffe in 1960 and remember the Power station which was just off Sion st, there was also a brickworks near Outwood colliery, you c@n still find the wagon way that went through Ringley woods from Outwood colliery to the MBBCanal. This was my playground as a child and still find great pleasure walking these tracks. The Tower was part of the first Church built by Nathan Wallwork in 1625, and I remember as a 10 year old attending the centenary celebrations for the new church in 1955. Been watching with great interest your Brindleys Vlogs, which again I am very familiar with, Ringley is of great historical interest thanks for highlighting it, look forward to all your you tube content.

That bridge? Beautiful. Five hundred quid well spent. I have read that when some mines were cleared, all the spoil tips were bulldozed over the sites, and left to nature. The mental image of the pithead gear vanishing into the pit, is a terrifying one. Great video, as always. Nice one.

[@douglasfleetney5031]

Certainly at two of the four Kent Pits that is what happened, Tilmanstone and Chislet. Betteshanger was levelled and an industrial park built but the slag heaps are now a nature reserve as they were some distance from the pit, Snowdon still stands abandoned but most of the slag heaps were removed for road improvements around the area.

I do think at some point the place has been landscaped and bulldozed

[@MartinZero]

Not far from you in Little Hulton Joe

[@UKAngryAthiest]

I'm from Little Hulton originally funnily enough and now live in Radcliffe. I've walked around this area a fair bit and I'm surprised that you didn't find the large electricity sub station just a little distance off the track bed and a little further down towards Radcliffe on the opposite side to the pit. It's surrounded by high fences and has lots of power cables feeding into it from the pylons nearby, I took it to be what's left of the power station.

[@anneforster510]

It's amazing that there were so many collieries in that area. We were taught about the Lancashire coalfields when I was at school but today's kids won't have a clue about this history. Thanks Martin for taking us there. Ringley looks a lovely little place.

Walked over the bridge every day for many years to get to Primary school next to the Church. Walk over it now to go drinking in the Horse Shoe (then stagger back over it afterwards) - Growing up with this stuff in your life and you take it for granted.

Only discovered your channel in the last few days but I've been binge watching it amazing work, I love it. I had to comment on this one as this is where I grew up, moved to Ringley road just past the colliery from Salford in 1969 aged 11, I played all around there I worked on all the farms around there in summer. My sister was married at St Saviours church and the Horseshoe pub next to it was my dad's sunday afternoon crib playing local. If I remember rightly there is a plaque on the opposite side of the bridge heading back to Clifton in memory of the navvys who lost their lives building the railways. Thank you for such an amazing channel and bringing memories back, I am going back there again as soon as I can.

[@JohnGrayOnline]

Hi Martin Brought up in Bury (Mum worked in Rammy) about 100 yards from the Irwell, went to school at De La Salle Weaste Lane Salford (no Catholic grammar school in Bury) and for some years caught the 7.52 train from Bury Bolton St over this line, past abandoned wagons, electric wires and pit buildings at Eastwood, at speed past Ringley Road, main line at Clifton Junction looking down on the Exide plant, past Agecroft pit, got off at Pendleton Old station and Salford bus-ed or walked it to school ... and years later went to study geology and geography at Manchester Uni. ... all the above is by way of explaining why I enjoy so many of your great videos! The locations, the history, your accent (a more Mancunified version of my own Bury accent), a cultural delight. My favourites include these around the Irwell Valley, the ones you did about Angel Fields and of course your brave ascent to the top of Peel Tower on Holcombe Hill above Rammy :) Thanks for them all! John

Thank you. Can't get enough of this stuff. It's amazing how soon stuff vanishes. I come from a village that had two mills gone from busy as hell to vanished in my life time. OK I'm 75 but still it's not that long. There was even an iron smelt mill where we used to play as a kids but we didn't know that. Local industrial archeologists discovered it 30-40 years ago. There had always been a hill known as Smelt Mill Brow but nobody thought to investigate it. Dated from the 1400s apparently. It's a lovely little village you should visit if you're ever in the area, Sutton-in-Craven.

Hi Martin, What a great spot you found. Thanks for showing us around in the heat. I'm always amazed at how quickly nature reclaims the land. I think you're right, the buildings were not only demolished but the land was flattened over too. Fantastic stone work on the bridge and clock tower though hey! Like you, my thoughts are always drawn to those who lived out their lives when places like this were less idyllic. The smoke filled air and damp, dark, mornings that would have echoed to the sound of a thousand clogs and hobnailed boots making their way to the wheelhouse are gone now. Replaced by nostalgic dreams of 'better days' that were anything but. But as long as folk like you are out and about, places like this have will never disappear entirely. Stay safe, stay healthy, and thanks again for bringing us along on your explorations....

[@nmb46]

Enjoyed that one Martin, my Dad was the Vicar of St Saviours in the 70s and early 80s, The landscaped bit with the clocktower was very overgrown and unkempt when my Dad took over the parish and he was responsible for the landscaping you see today. I remember as a kid seeing the ancient coffins in some of the family crypts after a digger fell into one whist the landscaping was being done. Most of the gravestones that were lifted are set around the perimeter of the lawned area and some are very ancient. Mum and Dad are now buried next to the church.

Most structures? All structures. Rock lasts forever. Stone bridges are the oldest in the UK and need very little maintenance. It doesn't crack or rust like concrete.

[@jeffreyquinn3820]

Very few of the buildings from older eras actually survive, so we only see the ones that were built to last. A lot of the ones that do survive were in some ways monuments to the people who paid for building them. The ones that ordinary people lived and worked in were rickety hovels. Today's mega-wealthy don't have enough long-term focus to build monuments to themselves.
