Although not originally from there, I grew up in Warrington (Birchwood then later Culcheth) but had to move away for my dad's job. That was back in the '80's. We relocated to Newcastle upon Tyne and been in the north east ever since. Got some happy memories from my childhood so finding your channel and seeing your videos of Warrington and the surrounding areas has been a real treat. I might even pay my childhood home a visit this year. Brilliant channel 👍

I really enjoyed your video. I lived in Culcheth from 1965 to 1974. I went to Newchurch School, which is next to the Linear Park. I remember it as a railway line and at playtime we’d dash across to the fence to wave at the steam train as it passed, the driver would toot his whistle. Not long after, the track was taken up and the linear park was made. I was confirmed at Newchurch Parish Church, and would go to church every week….in order to be eligible to go to the youth club at the parish hall. Roger Hunt lived on Culcheth Hall Drive and I would ride my bike “round the block” past his house. We lived next door to Andy Burnham who lived in Culcheth. Later, I went to Culcheth High School and my friend and I started to walk to school in a round about route in order to catch a glimpse of John Bevan, Warrington and Wales rugby player, who was a games teacher.

Malcolm Brown had a sports shop there. As well as one in Ashton in makerfield

Your channel has been a gem of a find, covering many of the areas I grew up in. You should cover Rivington. Maybe some cut scenes to maps of where you are talking about would be a good addition

@SuperMorgan1980 8 месяцев назад

More great work. Thoroughly enjoying watching them

@marieyenson9929 Год назад

Another brilliant video!

@andrewpaley9914 Год назад

Great video enjoyed you story about nicking the crown jewels

@jimmyviaductophilelawley5587 Год назад

9:10 Well said Kieran! There's nowt worse than paying for a ticket then not getting it checked on the train or at the station! You end up feeling sort of cheated coz of your honesty!

@BimblismUK Год назад

The other side of the coin is there is the same amount of people that never pay for the journey......well not directly. We all pay their fares in the end.

@44950 Год назад

Another quality bimble Kieran, and fine story telling and camera work. Nice one.

@widdershins4778 Год назад

Diffucult one mixture of both . Like Noel gallagher looks like parker. Another great bimble dosn't matter how far you go always a lot of interesting history to be found. From a fellow Atheist/Humanist .🚲☕🍼

@BimblismUK Год назад

Noel really does look like parker.

@jonathancoombes1495 Год назад

Another great video and local to me as a bonus.

@brewandbants864 7 месяцев назад

enjoyed the vlog. im a warrington lass we were one of the first families to move in to oakwood in 78 you should do a birchwood one lots of history .

@minimaxi802 9 месяцев назад

You start off at the ancient Winwick church of St Oswald. In 1887 a man called Edward Smith who was then a ship's officer was married here in 1887. He eventually became a captain, and by 1912 was the master of the new RMS Titanic that became the most terrible sea disaster in history.

@briwire138 Год назад

Nice day for a Bimble. You can actually get to Culcheth from Warrington avoiding the roads. From Birchwood station, take the track through Birchwood forest park all the way to the hill overlooking the "angel" near the motorway junction. Cross the roundabout over the M62 to the dead end on the northern side. Take the track through the old landfill site which has been reclaimed by nature and you come to a footpath across the field to Culcheth, coming out at the old railway line near Bent Lane.

@johnpowell5311 Год назад

Ive always wondered about that lost line..so many thanks Keiran.. fantastic Bimble again. I was at Astley today.. another great spot especially by the crossing...

@BimblismUK Год назад

Worth a look. Its very tranquil down the linear park. :)

G'day mate another great video trust you and family are well unlike dear old england national pride ! Cheers n beers Marty Australia

@johnjcs1982 Год назад

Nice one Keiran, some nice roads around Culcheth, cycled to the Partridge Lakes on one of my own bimbles, nice cafe there. About 70 miles from here in Formby. There's a great bike shop I want to visit in the summer called Ron Spencer Cycles which is a great Bianchi dealership, so I might bimble out there one day in the summer.

@rickpearson5817 Год назад

great vides kieran, but your music is incredible. your picking patterns baffle me, i thought i was a decent plucker untill i heard you lol.

@davidlawless5312 Год назад

Really good, our Keiron . Very interesting and Newchurch. Have you thought of doing a bimble around Warrington Market . You know, the new market . Not the old new market , which replaced the old market . But the potato market was the first to disappear. You could bimble to the old fish market . Well, the canopy of the old fish market . Going now, my head hurts . Keep bimbling, Keiron

@BimblismUK Год назад

Might be something there. :)

@gwenolson3628 Год назад

Love your vlogs Kieren. Can you tell me how to get hold of the music you use. Really good. Am I able to purchase a CD?

@BimblismUK Год назад

You can download the tracks from Bandcamp (links in the description). No CD's not enough people to buy them im afraid. :)

@duxberry1958 7 месяцев назад

did you find all the Pigs on Winwick Church and cannon holes from the battle at Winwick

@steveworthington930 7 месяцев назад

Wilson,s Gov & Barbera Castle closed more railway.s than Beeching. Leigh no railway connection, madness!

@fleabiter Год назад

My house as seen in a bimble. Great episode as usual.

@BimblismUK Год назад

Should have waved. :)

@martindooley4439 Год назад

Yup cycle past that church every day ony work. Sone ace bimbling lanes round there. Main Lane is cobbled and a real cycling challenge. of all your Bimbles this is the one I know best. Keep it up....

@BimblismUK Год назад

I will be exploring croft a lot further. :)

@davidlawless5312 Год назад

@Bimblism if you do Croft . You must include Southworth Hall and the ancient burial ground found on its land . Loads to explore there .

The way you explain the blood story actually made sense to me, the crown took his land and money away from him so he stole the jewels to make a stand? Then the king said ok have your land and money but away from England and sent him to Ireland instead 🤣🥴👑 can sort of understand what happened now!

@Neckoil18 Год назад

So jewel thief gets a better reward than the guard 😂

Andy Burnham stood down as the MP for Leigh when he stood for the Mayor of Manchester. 👍

@AndrewMatthews Месяц назад

What camera set up are you using ?

@BimblismUK Месяц назад

Go Pro Hero 8 black on the bike. Lumix G100 for the posh shots. Rode Videomicro for sound. :)

@MartinJames389 Год назад

Andy Burnham hasn't been the MP for Leigh - or anywhere - since 2017. He gave up his seat to contest the Mayoralty of Greater Manchester, and the Mayor is what he now is.

Recent history does nothing for me. Ha

@duxberry1958 7 месяцев назад

also lived in Walton lower / higher not shore witch part

@ronvalente65 11 месяцев назад

Hi Kieran, I'm a recent viewer of your excellent Bimbles, I like to see that you have done local ones! have you looked into the History of Ashton, ref the Holy Hand at St Oswalds and into the history of Bryn! it actualy had fortified castle type buildings at Landgate thanks to the De brynne family, perhaps a future Bimble?? keep up the very entertaining work! local history is fascinating. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryn_Hall,_Ashton-in-Makerfield

@BimblismUK 11 месяцев назад

Dont tell anyone but i am literally typing this outside st oswalds church in ashton. Shhhh. :)

@ronvalente65 10 месяцев назад

My Parent's like many others locally worked on Munitions at Risley during WW2, they used to catch the train at Ashton Railstation to Risley on the line you discussed on this Bimble, the line was put in to run into the factory but it was never shown on any map! obviously for good reasons! when the land was taken back from the M.O.D and so was created Risley Moss country park, if you know where to look you can still find the grass covered mounds, I think there is 3, that was where the munitions were stored! in the early days of the country park one of the storage warehouses was open and you could go inside, my Dad worked in them and I remember him telling me about the amunition and whatever else they made in the ordanance factory, I know the german bombers tried to locate the factory and it must have been scarey working in the storage warehouse with all the expolsive munitions. @@BimblismUK
