17th century was so cool

Amazingly informative. Wow! So interesting.

The railway bridge over the River Skerne in Darlo is the world's oldest railway bridge in continuous use. The river under the bridge may be the world's most continuously polluted.

Nice to see the 'Blackcap' name being preserved by naming a road Blackcap Rd on a new housing estate just the other side of the M56 near Appleton Thorn.

Can’t thank you enough for this vid your input into the conversation of us all, I see behind the lines also and see the difference between same and progress, the people that created the vision of all our buildings… WE THANK YOU 🙏♥️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Now Britain’s worst airport. A terrible experience repeatedly…

Very good! The true purpose of hunanity and everything we do should serve it, including architecture. A great video, thank you.

The 1939 guardroom used by the Army is still there today albeit behind a fence and looking sorry for itself.

My RAF Cadet Squadron operated at Woodford Aerodrome while the main squadron in Bramhall was under refurbishment, it's a great place.

My grandfather Charles Agate AFC tested parachutes and was an instructor/jump master at Ringway.

The world would be a better place if Manchester was returned to farmland. Worst airport in the country.

Cant believe ive not seen this one yet. Hulme has always fascinated me for many reasons. And, weve had family in& out of there since very early 20C. Gna watch this on my night shift later. 👊

Definitely NOT SAFER

The other place was Woodford airfield.

After saving up for a year, I bought a bike. Two of the places I went to, were Ringway airport. In those days, passengers either walked to the plane or went in a small bus. If I waited long enough, I actually saw a plane take off, or land.

As a child we used to walk or cycle from Altrincham occasionally got a lift . It was in the early 1960s I can remember the two buildings the had public viewing areas on the flat roves having to pay via a turnstile. The flights were well spaced out not being as busy as now . As far as I am concerned it’s still Ringway airport.

Would be a nice greenway for bicycling or walking from Edinburgh to Glasgow

Have a look at the Abbot's Bromley Horn Dance from Staffordshire. Normally held in early September I think. The dancers dress up as various characters and dance with deer antlers tied on their head. The antlers are kept in the village church for the rest of the year. They carbon dated the deer antlers to 1000 years old! 🤯

The location of Oldham’s Station was a problem too, used to be an ‘underground’ to get there then overground bridge? Whatever, it was a mugger’s paradise as it was so isolated. Compare this to Huddersfield’s station. Again Oldham town planers down the years have been a disaster for the this second rate one horse town.

A good video showing parts of the abandonment of the rail system. It’s good to see someone show people how it’s been abandoned. Other videos exist showing how well peeling holdings have done with the docks. Granted lots of new cranes but no way of getting the freight in and out. This is a good video showing how the infrastructure is bad and in desperate need of upgrading. Well done.

Maybe 10 years ago me and my buddy would visit RAF blackcap with our mini Moto. Great fun. . Weren't old RAF aircraft flown there to be broken down at the end of their lives? believe it was bought/used by a car company to test mpg ratings for new cars, or tyre wear or something lome that.

Big up your self

Really enjoyed your series of vids Ollie. Great stuff!

Loving this mini series Ollie. I guess by now you know there was UA-cam royalty right at the front 😅

'Great video. 'Thanks for sharing.

Can walk to so many festivals from your house: Rushcart, Band contest, Yanks. Why I loved growing up in Mossley. Put in a great Mossley football club, and a brilliant local cricket scene and it’s a fine place to live

Can this be baked into law indefinitely via a Heritage Listing? Otherwise that cleared strip will inevitably fall prey to new "Greening Requirements" soon. 🤔😱

What about covering Warrington's Walking Day on June 28th?

Learn something new every day -- this takes the cake although it does seem a little cheesy. Wait...... Relax, just take it cheesy. It's really gouda to have you here. Keep thinking, you’ll find a whey. Don't worry -- cheddar days are coming. That's a gouda cheese. It's always cheddar to give than to receive. Sorry, I'll go home now.......

Another great video Ollie, keep them coming 👍

Is it any wonder people from abroad think we're bonkers!!!! Great video sir, if a little cheesy!!! 🤣

Nice one Ollie, great to see my little weird county on one of your videos 😁 They also used to have an onion eating competition in Newent although it hasn’t happened since covid but there has been talk of bringing it back again I’ve never been to either of these ones but as much as it’s great that the cheese rolling is getting recognition internationally it seems to be becoming a victim of its own success a bit. This year was the first time I’ve ever seen a live text page for it on the BBC That Tetbury one looks fun through and I must admit I hadn’t heard of it until seeing your post on Instagram the other day about both

Another fab video Ollie! Keep them coming! 😃

Great vid again. Are the remains of the settlements still underneath the runway?

My Granny lived in Mobberley. I remember the signs everywhere saying "NO second runway" - there was a feeling that the village was going to be cut in two.

i understand that prince pulled the last train through the old tunnel

I spent a lot of time on the viewing terraces when I was a schoolboy up to 1983. At one time the viewing area was shut down and the "regulars" decamped to the end of the runway at the end of Shadowmoss Road. Someone even pinned a banner saying "give us back our terraces" to the airport fence which the police came and removed, declaring it a hazard for aircraft engines (possibly a fair point!) . Thanks for the memories, all the best

I learned to fly at Ringway back in the 80's when light aircraft could still fly there. I'll never forgive them for removing the chandeliers.........

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_European_Airways_Flight_411 This has to be the worse crash at manchester every one forgets this story about the shadowmoss road aircrash

back in the 80's anyone could access terminal 1 just for a coffee or something to eat! so my mates and I would "call in" after a night out in Wilmslow (Valley lodge hotel!).

There was a song about this just can’t remember what is called

Love this series of videos, and your chilled out but information packed presenting style! Thank you for making them and keep them coming!

A trapped spirit. Good you didn't open it.
