Quite a character, this lad. His channel here deserves to do well and I think he's easily bright enough, quirky enough and unashamedly honest enough about his romanticist perspectives on things to ensure it does. Best wishes for every success, Mr. Turnip!... right down to quoting Hughes poetry. What next? A visit to even more remote bits of the North West?

I’m blown away by the robust engineering of these massive chimneys. The one @31:20 is built on the side of a muddy hill (which looks like a prime candidate for a landslide), not on a flat clearing. Yet it’s still standing perfectly straight 100 years later. How in the world did they accomplish that? Also, I loved your comment about the million dollar homes and how it’s worth a million bucks… just for the privilege of being able to wake up and look at that majestic chimney every day.

The chimneys had fires from the Old boilers , some boilers were connected to the heating systems in the mills to keep the workers warm and other boilers were used to power steam turbines to run the machines ... The old mills were very Steam punk...

Sadly, the Calico print works has long gone, along with all the other factories and mills in the Rossendale valley.

I really enjoyed your guided tour of Hebdens chimneys ! What an amazing history and now the industry has stopped and greenery has returned to the town it looks reeally quaint. But it would not have been that way in its industrial heyday. The mist you showed in the morning would have clogged up with the smoke and soot from the chimneys and made a toxic mist that the people working and living in the area would have to breath in. Not healthy at all. Still, you've got me hooked to come up and have a look around. I am up near Preston next month so I might come over and have a day there. Is there a local library with any pictures of the past around the area ? Have you visited Ironbridge Gorge in Shropshire, It has an industrial history area - coal, iron ore was plentiful so it was a metal making centre - also pottery was made there. Very intersting place.

Fellow chimney lover here. Most of the ones where I live in Oldham have been knocked down now sadly. Fred Dibnah said it was because they cost too much to maintain, having to repoint the brickwork every so often. He never liked knocking them down, but they would have been too dangerous to leave standing *. It would have looked great if they'd left them all though. There were hundreds. EDIT: * Allegedly anyway - although I'm not sure I believe that.

Interesting video and great scenery. I think the end of this video was filmed around the chimnies and mills of Hebden Bridge back in the 80s. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKXEYmaKhrB3nqs&ab_channel=TalkTalkband
