EPISODE ONE - 'LUNE VALLEY MEANDER'
This series explores the lost railways of the Lancaster & Morecambe area of Lancashire.

I really appreciate the considered and well researched nature of this video. I have been looking forward to 'Lost Railways of Lancaster & Morecambe - Episode Three' for circa eight years. I have watched other videos on Railways in the Lancaster area, nothing comparing to: 'Lost Railways of Lancaster & Morecambe - Episode One' 'Lost Railways of Lancaster & Morecambe - Episode Two'

The Lune is one of our last rivers to be less polluted by sewage.

Very interesting, I stumbled upon this looking for old trolley buses of Lancaster. But couldn’t find any footage.

That, Sir, is a very slick and professional piece of video history. Kind regards to all involved.

great video david, the Lancaster to caton stretch is a place where I spent many many happy hours as a kid riding my motorbikes with my friends in the eighties early nineties

mister nextdoorscat You might enjoy this channel, which I now work on. Lots of films all about North Lancashire history: ru-vid.com/show-UC4CCi7K3eFyXw7AjS5B3llQ

Great video David, thanks for that. Cycled this route many times from Glasson Dock through Lancaster to Bull Back before we get bored and turn back. I knew it was an old steam line but wasn't aware of the history, so very informative. Cheers.

Great Video and very informative. They are indeed 'viaducts', aquaducts carry water. The Ribble Head Viaduct being a perfect example.

@historygeek26 8 лет назад

Fantastic video and information, it's great to hear new history of my home town and also one of my favourite parts of its history. so many times people mention the same history, I will have to show my dad this video as he is a train enthusiast and he knows a lot of history from the lancaster and morecambe railway :) again fantastic and can't wait for the next episode

@KenG1ITV 8 лет назад

Brilliant, Thank you. I never went to Caton but I did go to Morcambe Promanade from Lancaster Castle via Green Ayre on the old electrics. Has to be a bonus being old sometimes :-).

@DavidChandler1 8 лет назад

Thanks Ken! We will be retracing the Green Ayre to Morecambe journey in future episodes, so keep watching!

@trancelover1992 5 лет назад

Brings back a lot of childhood memories. I know Lancaster very well from my youth. Very nostalgic and bitter sweet. Such an informative, historic and intriguing video. Caton and Denny Beck, I remember them very well. Thank you for sharing.

I recall swimming in the Lune above the weir and below Lansil Works. The froth in the water was probably toxic!

@ianhoward4246 10 месяцев назад

Correct William we went there because the water was warmer....... UNBELIEVABLE 🤣🤣🤣. they've been poisoning the fish for 30 odd years that I know of 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

@TheMichaelWilcock2016Railways 8 лет назад

Is this available on a dvd. I was born on Vicarage Lane in 1943, next to the line from Green Ayre to Castle Station. I remember the drivers throwing coal into my grandmas garden as they passed. If on we have video in those days. I still have quite a few photos taken on my Brownie Camera os Scots,Black 5s etc at Castle Station.....Mike, retired and now in S/Wales

@DavidChandler1 8 лет назад

Thanks Mike, no plans for a DVD - these are made just for fun. Have a look through my channel and you'll probably find a few other videos of interest!

@thrift154 8 лет назад

Very interesting; I was wondering why the sidings are called 'New Zealand Sidings"?

@DavidChandler1 8 лет назад

Hi Andrew and thanks for the kind comments. I have wondered myself about the New Zealand sidings name. One theory I've heard links to the furniture makers Waring & Gillow and the import of timber. I don't know if that's the real origin, maybe someone will come forward with another theory?

@LeslieGilpinRailways 6 лет назад

On the canal aqueduct I'm confused that you interpreted the letters LNWR as little North Western Railway. The company was never known officially by that name, only as the North Western Railway. Has Mr Abbott been identified? Of course the London &North Western Railway didn't take over the Lancaster Canal until much later.

@DavidChandler1 6 лет назад

Leslie Gilpin although the company used NWR on its maps/timetables etc, the prefix of ‘Little’ was in common use at that time, as a search of contemporary newspapers will show. No luck tracing Mr Abbott as yet!

What is the differance between a Bridge and a Viaduct?

@robw7676 6 лет назад

When I was a boy in the early 1980s I remember visiting my Grandparents who lived on Railway Street in Lancaster. Looking on a map today, it's nowhere near the main line. Does anybody know why it was so named?

@DavidChandler1 6 лет назад

Lancaster's original station (see episode 2) was near there. The line ran near to Railway Street, through what is now the hospital car park. Watch: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E1OlqYm7ewY.html
