It's always good to see a fellow railway enthusiast, who has a passion for the older Victorian railway infrastructure!

I only came home that way , and alighted at Radcliffe South . The fine Church in Radcliffe is St. Thomas , and my Father was Vicar here from 1950-59 . Wonderful town and fabulous people.

Nice video. BTW - Clifton is a 13 arch viaduct, rather than 15.

Walked through Clifton tunnel with my dad who was a platelayer on that stretch, often came back on the footplate of a steam engine. His mate Ernie Nash was the one who noticed the cracks and reinforcing hoops were ordered but were the wrong size, in the meantime the tunnel collapsed. My dad was called out in his capacity as a railwayman, and my partners father was called out as he was a policeman. They may have met some 20 years before we met!

I have to hold my hands up, I did some digging around the tunnel entrance on the Clifton Colliery side, that big dip nearer the left side was the farthest down I managed to dig without a spade! Also, the stone wall you saw shortly after the main tunnel, are the two entrances to the tramways that ran under the hill to a different colliery back towards the main road. The brick stacks at the old Clifton Junction Station you asked what they were, are the entrance to the footbridge that went over to the other platform from the ticket office at the top by the large middle that originally joined with the current Clifton Station. Also correct, that was the tunnel to Clifton Hall, the cobbled pathway down to the current Clifton Station actually circled down through the tunnel, which is a little deeper than it currently looks! At Ringley Road, that power station you saw was modern, the old power station was a little further along and more away from the line! Not sure if you missed the second way up out from the main platform that's still around, it led up to a footbridge over for the colliery, the footing is still there, as is the pathway up, it's just a tad overgrown!

I think the rusty bin thingy with the names of flowers is probably part of the Irwell Valley Sculpture Trail, which runs from Salford Quays right through to Bacup, and dates from the late '90's and early 2000's.

Trinity Artist Stephan Gec Date 1999 Nearest Nearest, M26 1DX Trinity is a memorial to the navies that lost their lives during the construction of the railway. The sculpture uses the symbolic language of flowers which was common during the Victorian period when the railway cutting was created. The column has rusted over time making the sculpture part of the natural environment, and a symbolic representation of a tree, at home in the surrounding woodland

I must admit that this is well informed and similar to that of Martin Zero's video on his channel

I've walked this one from radcliffe down to clifton viaduct, where there's some remaining stretches of an old canal including an aqueduct over the river irwell. And after clifton viaduct I couldn't get any further as the elevated route from there has been taken down and there's some kind of industrial site there now. And I couldn't help noticing how wide the track bed was south of ringley road where there must've been four tracks or more. And did you know at outwood sidings there was apparently a local overhead electrification system for an electric crane or loco, and I've got a picture of the yard showing the wires supported on wooden poles.

Another brilliant video.Did you ever manage to go back to the carrington to partington disused railway that you did last year?.There was a spur off that line before partington station that went into shell and accross to carrington power station.Still alot to see few buildings that are accessible ,old lights,track and whats left of a huge martialing yard that stored the coal in wagons ready to be taken by rail to the power station.

Pepper Hill Jn was part of the wonderful little route from Agecroft to Salford which if it survived could have saved journey time from Blackburn and Bolton. BR didn't see that.

Is that another line under the arch at 15:01? remnants of old sidings, or is it something else? It certainly looks like rails.

Imagine how uselful this line to Rossendqle would be today ? There is no direct link from Manchester anymore . There is talk of reinstatement, but its highly unlikely.
