Hey @asfcboys6317. Oh brilliant! Definitely do, that walk is really lovely and peaceful (until you pass the m60) Got more videos planned but sadly probably not till the new year. Go a good number of canal walks planned. Please feel free to leave an suggestion. Peace and love buddy 🙂
Hey @theparadoxclub1326. Thank you for the comment. Life has been very chaotic at the moment which has really limited me to make more. I definitely have loads more planned and will be out again soon 🙂
@@geekymanc nice one I’m Steve by the way there’s a few on my page if you want any ideas.. I do anything I find interesting 🤔..I’ve a list as long as my arm it’s getting around to doing them
@@geekymanc rope marks on walls where the horses pulled the canal boats. And there is a wall where coal was brought to the canal from coal pit lane. Place has so much history just all hidden.
i used to hang around in Droylsden a lot through the 0s and 90s, like in my Essay on one of your other videos, i was with a girl 88 and she passed away in 94, she lived in Droylsden and is Buried in Droylsden cemetery on Manor Rd. this street where you filmed, i used to pass it all the time but i never actually went in there in case i upset the residents. i used to ride up there on my Mountain bike up until around 2022 when i couldn't ride anymore, My brother had his canal boat moored there at the marina, he's moved now though up to Oldham. i have 2 brothers with canal boats, Awesome thing to have if you can afford one and have the time to run it and Keep it.
Hey @80s_kid, thank you for your comment. Firstly thank you or sharing your story, I'm really sorry to hear about your ex. I appreciate she passed a long time ago but I'm sure it's still painful for you. Hopefully it brought back go memories. Oh I agree, I would love to live on a barge one day. I'm very jealous of your brother's. If your ever round the area again it's definitely worth a walk around. It's like stepping back in time. 🙂 Peace and love
Hey @redmanchesteruk, you definitely didn't mate. It's brilliant you gave my video the time and left a comment. I love it when I receive correct terminology and information as it helps me learn. Peace and love buddy 🙂
Hey @redhmanchesteruk. Really happy you enjoyed my video mate. It's definitely a perfect walk for you and your dog 🙂 Yeah of course your completely correct and it being narrowboats and also being called Waterhouses. My bad. Peace and love
It carries on beyond the fenced off bit, behind the Shakespeare Garden and I think you even see a bit in the grounds of the Platt chapel from the main road... Thanks for the tour. :)
Hey @vercingetorix1557, thank you for your comment and further suggestions and information about where it runs. I'm planning on exploring the area past platt Fields as I have been informed about a few more areas that the ditch is visible. Sadly life has been pretty chaotic at the moment which has limited my opportunities to create more videos. Peace and love 🙂
Hey @patricka.crawkey6572, certainly was I an believe about sacrifice they made. I can't imagine how traumatic it would of been. Was one of my favourite places I've visited so far and if I'm honest there was so much more history that I didn't cover which I discovered when visiting. The village has a wealth of information signposted and certainly worth visiting for anyone that hasn't. Peace and love
Hey @BTony47, oh wow that is amazing. I will send you a DM when I'm available and see what is good for you. Life is a bit crazy at the moment for me which has made it hard to commit to making videos at present but will definitely take you up on your offer 🙂
As a self proclaimed ‘Titanorac’ I can confirm you are correct; whilst the majority of iron used in the construction of the Titanic primarily came from Middlesbrough and Sheffield, some of the iron used did indeed come from the Park Bridge Ironworks. The ironworks provided materials for various industries, including shipbuilding, during that time.
Loved this! Your best work yet. Really enjoyed the pacing, the deep knowledge, the fancy new transitions, and just your general demeanour. It was all fab. Bravo!
This must be related to the highland clearances as well. As soon as sheep became profitable, everyone got moved on! What a crime. That village would have been lovely.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm sure that after the crash the US Air Force came out and removed the remains if possible and any sensitive equipment from the crash site. I'm from the US, and I study WW2 history, so this video was very interesting. Thanks again for sharing.
I believe that the long tube with spaced rings shown at 2:23 is part of the communication tunnel that connected the front and back of the place, running on the top of the bomb bays.
That would make sense. The cockpit and areas where the crew stations were located were pressurized. The tube/tunnel was a way to connect the pressurized portions of the aircraft and extended from the cockpit through the fuselage to the crew stations in the rear of the aircraft. Pressurizing allowed flying without oxygen masks and the cold weather clothing like in the earlier B-17/B-24/B-25s
@@geodes4762 thank you for your comment and all that information. Really interested and I am now getting to learn a lot more about this particular aircraft. Peace and love buddy
@chrisbaines4339, thank you for the comment. Definitely worth a visit if you ever get a chance and you are correct a brilliant memorial. Peace and love
Oh wow! That's WELL bigger than I imagined. What a great site. Imagine owning that land as well. Lucky farmer. Thanks for all the interesting facts. I will have to *barrow* some of them. ho ho ho
@daftmonkey7296, thank you 🙂 Yeah I love it myself, especially with the amount of rebuilding and changes in Manchester city centre. Like stepping back in time
Hey @MarkAbRobert-jv6it. There is suggestions that a settlement was located there late bronze to early iron age. Of course this is completely debatable.
Hey @robertalford2257, thanks for your comment. There is something called reversing falls when the direction of flow changes due to tides. If I'm honest I don't think this is the case in this situation. I think it may be a course location spot, due to an obstruction in the stream there is enough momentum for the stream to flow over the obstruction.
Loved the video, but saying you won't include the man in your video, then just putting him in anyway is a bit rude, he may not have wanted to be in your video.
Best video yet. Loved the impromptu interaction with the man crossing the bridge lol - Always a pleasure learning something new from you GeekyManc! Let's crack on! Looking forward to the next one! 🙂
This place looks amazing!! It's great that people live there again. Pretty sweet that nobody can drive up either. I wouldnt mind it there. Best vid so far! Also love the story of the Hall. Faded nobility and feckless heirs end up having it literally dismantled brick by brick to pay off debts. That fireplace was serious business too
