Great video and as a similar age to you who grew up in that town before moving down South it's a lovely trip down memory lane. 7:45 in particular made me smile as a proper Leighther never accepted the boundary change and will still mark all their correspondence "Leigh, Lancashire"

@andyuk2010 Год назад

Also, what is that song at 11:54? It's very, very good but I cannot find it on your website and would love to buy it or the album containing it!

I'm a Leyther myself. The guided bus route to Manchester is absolutely brilliant. I can hop on the bus to get to concerts as it stops right near the Academy, Ritz and the Bridgewater hall. Also good for shopping trips and day drinking. 🙂

Nice opening views of the trackbed Eccles - Tyldesley, worked this line as a fireman often, on Warrington trips to service colliery yards Jacksons etc. from Kenyon jc. but my favourite was working the 10/20 pm Holyhead parcels from Manchester Exchange to Warrington c 1960 When for some reason we were diverted along it to Kenyon Jc. with my driver Jimmy Cunliffe, two Earlestown lads together.

@garycostello5416 Год назад

Sky Bar was awesome especially for the football for me, 3 massive screens and you could fit loads in for a great atmosphere, miss that place

@leonskum.5682 11 месяцев назад

Saw the England 5, Germany 1 match there.😀

@dr.robotnik7334 8 месяцев назад

Subbed. That cycle path in Leigh looks epic. I'm on that!!!

@TheLotteryWinners Год назад

Aww man, I loved this.

@Tom-te2mu Год назад

Another great video Kieran, local known locations and routes that I will be trying with the added history to go with it. Keep up the good work 👍😊🚲

@patsmith7710 Год назад

enjoyed that a lot, thank you,

@mischiefandmulletsmtb Год назад

Nice video, we ride this loop quite often- park at car park in Monton old loop line to Leigh and back down canal. Enjoy your local knowledge 👍🏻

@BimblismUK Год назад

It is a good loop :)

@djjohnnyatjdmfm5995 Год назад

Great stuff

@widdershins4778 Год назад

Pete shelley mural on side of that building. Thought being a music man might've talked about the buzzcocks. Spiral scrath ep. Worth a fortune back in the day. Anyway loved the bimble kieran.

@BimblismUK Год назад

Didn't know it was there until I was there. :)

@Wickedacorn Год назад

nice one, good tunes

@jamescowley6555 Год назад

Awesome content buddy

@qtmatt Месяц назад

When you were talking about the collieries, you were literally on/very near the site of Mosley Common colliery, but didn’t get a mention.

@kevintraynor4508 Год назад

I left higher folds and Leigh back in the good old days of 1999. The year I think south park was populer and the soprapnoes aird for first time. And Johnny Vaughn and Kelly brook ruled big breakfast

@paulcritchley464 Год назад

Went back to Leigh as my Dad was unwell and I more or did the same journey. I also went to Southport just for a day excursion. A trip down memory lane From Aotearoa The land of the long white cloud Cheers Have a great day

@johnpowell5311 Год назад

Great Bimble Keiran.. pass the museum when off to Astley Crossing... Always wondered where the canal took you too...cheers.!!

@44950 Год назад

Another cracking bimble Kieran, quite a long one as well. :-) That looked quite a complicated route, must have taken a lot of working out. Enjoyed it as always. Nice one.

@RudeBoy1000 Год назад

Used to work there as an EHO Run down town 2nd place to Wigan. Used to call people from Leigh laythers due the name spelling and lobby gobblers. As wiganers are called pie eaters they called laythers lobby gobblers. as hence they can’t afford a crust on a pie and the filling of a pie looks like lob ( lob scouse). Or tata ash in Manchester Lob all together a cruel insult to Leigh. Oh and very competitive in rugby. Cmon Leigh 😎👍

Lancashire County Palatine still exists Leigh is in Lancashire, Greater Manchester is an administrative body.

@jimmyviaductophilelawley5587 Год назад

My cousin went to Leigh College in the early 90s studying music!

@martindooley4439 Год назад

Good bimbleage there. Must have got close to the Pennington Marina or is the other side of Leigh ??? I should know eh ???

@BimblismUK Год назад

That's to the west. We were in the east in this one. I'll be back. Leigh has loads of history and Mills and things.

@jadepasse1803 Год назад

Bimbleage!!! Lol! Kieran is a great bimbligeager!

@leeparker8926 6 месяцев назад

I grew up in Golborne [ Barton St ] l live in Ramsgate in Kent now that was 45 years ago doesn't time fly

@spacecowboy4997 Год назад

You could of cycled along the canal to Leigh. (edit) I see you did partially by going back to the museum.

@BimblismUK Год назад

It would have been quite a short boring video if i just went directly into Leigh. The whole idea is to go and see things and talk about them.

@anthonyworthington6495 9 месяцев назад

I live in leigh and I chuckled to myself when you said you were going to leigh to cheer yourself up.theres nothing here it's a shit hole😊

@stevenledsham1957 11 дней назад

Do you record any of these routes on Strava or Garmin so that others can ride the same route?

@michaelkeates7838 Год назад

You planning on doing a video in St Helens?

@BimblismUK Год назад

I did one to the dream if you look. But yes eventually if sonetging interests me. :)

@kevintraynor4508 Год назад

Don't rember the guns and ammo shop

@johnmacefield7292 Год назад

Any free computers going?

@graemegarside6463 Год назад

You must know Steve Oates? I had just finished there when 9/11 happened.

@kevintraynor4508 Год назад

It should have stayed Lancashire

@danieldonegan9826 11 месяцев назад

On that route, they have chopped down all of the tree's and greenery , making the scenery wide open & boring WHY ?

@johnedwards2608 8 месяцев назад

Considering the original railway route was flat ! the absolute sack construction company that built the bus and cycle route must of designed it like a snakes back its up and down all over the place and RUFFEST workmanship ever cycle path ever. you want to name and shame that outfit..
