Absolute Gold. Eerie to see the old mill that still stands. I explored it earlier this year .

@g1m2e3 14 лет назад

Nice to see old lane mill with the clock and bell tower. I was walking round the now derelict mill the other day.

It's quite fascinating, to maximise the screen, turn the sound down and have a two minute tram ride that happened over 11 decades ago. It really is like time travel ! LOVE these long-ago videos!

@Michaelxxx1936 14 лет назад

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to show this video. Such a long time ago now and such hard times too.

@Topdoginuk 15 лет назад

A brief momment captured live and in such great quality, Wow! I'm still trying to work out Dean Clough aspects and I think it ends on North Bridge. A fantastic piece of film and a credit to the person that put this up. Thank you.

I grew up in a house overlooking everything from 1 minute onwards! It was filmed a long time before the dry ski slope went in!

That building at 1:25 is Old Lane Mill, it still stands. abandoned and overgrown

@gavster_999 3 года назад

Just before at 1.19 you see the Old Lane Inn, sadly demolished about 2011 I think?

fantastic video i live in the spot where this is taken and worked in the dye works shown until the day it closed in 2001.

@MetalboxJ 2 года назад

It closed before 2001 surely!!!

@@terrytalktometibbs Dye works, I was exploring it just this week. Fascinating but I thought it shut decades ago ???

@terrytalktometibbs 2 года назад

@@MetalboxJ yes it does look like that way. The factory closed for business in 2001 and demolished in 2004 the mill obviously still stands but had been mostly empty and derelict since the late 70s.

@MetalboxJ 2 года назад

@@terrytalktometibbs Ah, I see. I misunderstood and you meant the mill closed in 2001 👍👍

@Spillage66 12 лет назад

When referring to the original place, there's no need to state its geographical location, as the secondary place would have this instead. (ie: Paris. Not Paris France. Paris Texas.) Halifax is in Yorkshire, England.

@rexluminus9867 6 лет назад

@johntaylor5605 11 лет назад

Why not mention the English that are the second largest group in Nova Scotia and it seems most of the place names towns/city's are of English descent. I don't see anywhere named after anywhere in the Republic of Ireland.

@OutlawMinniePearl 13 лет назад

OMG, in my little frontier pea brain I always thought Nova Scotia was a time warp to Merry Old Scotland & for Ireland you go to Newfieland! OMG, IT LOOKS LIKE PITTSBURGH IN THE 50s! (1905 Pgh was worse!) What about the quaint fishing villages & high rate of red heads? Do the men wear kilts & folks speak Gaelic? I thought it was the go-to place for pure Scottish culture in the New World! But I willfully repress my knowledge that A. Carnegie was a Scot & the old country looked bad in this era too!

@vaibanez17 12 лет назад

I'm glad I didn't live then. Look at all that pollution.

@kennethj1956 15 лет назад

Good thing all this blight was destroyed during WWII otherwise society would never move forward. The good thing about technology was the 'color bomb' that was set off in the late 1930's; the most famous example of that event was the filming of the "Wizard of Oz" black&white during the first part of filming then color as color was newly discovered and enjoyed by all. The color bomb was credited to the end of the great depression as it lifted spirits.

Again Newfoundland, the English are the biggest ethnicity.
