Top sounds..Top content ( as always ) and great how your fitting the pieces fella.. thanks Keiran

[@marieyenson9929]

Another brilliant bimble Kieran

[@jeffreybate561]

Thank you again Kieran for bringing this old Grappenhall lad to the most beautiful area Cheshire.Making trip this year from California to visit my childhood memories still locked in my head

[@BimblismUK]

Thanks for watching. :)

[@christopherbussell8714]

l love local history. From local history you have national history and international history. It takes a village to raise a child? local workers, teachers and builders. Then there are those that build nations and countries. That said it all starts locally! Adventure and an open mind helps. then the trick is to never stop learning! or Bimbling!! love the music! What about a National Bimble Day!

[@davidcragg2550]

Great vlg but Harry was in the army not navy

[@sezwho8561]

Kieran I'd pay good money to watch Tyson Fury knock seven bells out of king Charles. 🤣🤣🤣

[@BimblismUK]

At wembley. Ha.

[@Mick_Holland]

Didn't Alan Shepherd play golf up there? 👍🏼

[@jimmyviaductophilelawley5587]

Sorry about this Kieran but Cnut's father was Sweyn Forkbeard, not Harold Bluetooth. Sorry!

[@markgriffiths6638]

Prince Harry flew for the British Army air corps and William RAF

[@martindooley4439]

You passed the water tower converted to a house in High Legh. Always fancied that . Lived in Knutsford for a few years myself. Fond memories of some of the pubs 25+ years ago

[@TONY_SNELL-THE_NOISE]

Tyson Fury would batter King Charles 😂

[@BimblismUK]

I'm not to sure after that Ngannou fight. :)

Another very fine video Kieran. Full of you usual well researched facts along with fine camera work. Never fails to impress me. 🙂

[@BimblismUK]

Kind words :)

[@julieclark1369]

This was a great video. Really enjoyed it sitting on my couch on a rainy day in Toronto. Very informative Thank you.

Would love a port sunlight and surrounding bimble 👍 I used to be one of the port sunlight and lever bros gardeners. We won Britain in bloom when I was in charge👌 it's all a bit lame now levers don't put anything in the pot to make the village look nice so hardly any flower beds now and everything overgrown. Every year We used to do a ten foot working clock in flowers outside the theatre, the LFC logo in the Hillsborough garden in flowers ,and with all the trillions levers make they pulled the plug on it all 👎 now it's a trust .

[@rogfusionkid]

That's a really well made video Mr Bimble.! I was born in Knutsford but left when I was still young. A trip down memory lane.

[@FordTransitvan]

Blackcap is still a bit as I've seen small planes landing there when cycling recently. It's owned by one of the Money Supermarket founders who's got planning permission for an underground car storage facility for all his classic cars apparently.

*Still in use

[@davidlawless5312]

Shell oil owned it at one point . They did vehicle trails on it .

[@FordTransitvan]

@@davidlawless5312 Ah, do you know when that was?

[@davidlawless5312]

1970s, I think . They used it for trails for vehicle distance records . Ie MPG . Not vehicle we would recognise . It's more like kids' trolleys with one pint petrol tank . Do a measured distance. Tank taken off . Measure fuel used . Calculate how many yards are covered on fuel use . That gives you MPG . Claim record . It's not a real vehicle, but it's a PR exercise

[@davidlawless5312]

The Airfield was closed on the 4th November 1958. In recent years, Oil Giant Shell, used the Airfield to test engines, and they built a control tower, this is not to be confused with the origional tower, as that is now long gone. A few of the origional building are still standing, but you need to keep your eyes peeled for them, as many are within Appleton Thorn Industrial Estate. The Runway is in remarkably good nick, as are 2 Air Raid Shelters and a Water Resovoir. Any way, on with the Pictures. The Runway

[@MDT966]

Had a cycle out 2 weeks ago on a charity ride through tatton park and Knutsford to near Congleton... don't say I fancy cycling back through Knutsford again any time soon

[@davidlawless5312]

Great video, our Keiron . Educational as always . Every day, a school day . I learned not to buy coffee . From the cafe on the car park off King Street Knutsford . 2 small coffees in paper cups £12 . Keep pretending you're a Spitfire . Keep them German Fokkers -Wulf away

[@jadepasse1803]

Love the scenery and the history! Thanks!
