@stevewhitwam1822 cheers Stephen, had to get the snow, we really don't get it very often these days. Tell your friends to Like and Subscribe😆

@johnvarley3964 thanks mate. Oi I live in Milnsbridge! Ha ha it has it's charms, it's right on the edge of lots of beautiful places, I can see how starting again would improve a lot, the infrastructure of Britain was built for the horse and cart, the railways followed the canal which followed the path of least resistance, bendy, not great for trains, ah well it is what it is and I will stand by, Full of character😁

​@yorkshiredrone I find his commrnt saddening. Our industrial heritage snd architecture may be a bit old fashioned but it is a monument to our heritage of quality textile work. The Canal towpath is a really pleasant oasis from the village, right up to Marsden. The village was virtually dead when i was a kid, as was Holmfirth incidentally. Prior to the Summer Wine tourist revitalisation. Now in Milnsbridge there are shops and cafes. Sadly the Midlsnd Bank has gone. Which was a nice building. The building is still there though. The viaduct hoping passed Harold Wilson's old school and the recreation field still exist. Bland buildings may appeal to car users. But character is irreplaceable. In my opinion.

@davidsmith5523 absolutely David, I'll stand by the fact our infrastructure is ancient and almost not fit for purpose but I wouldn't have it any other way, Trains don't need to go 250MPH(HS2🤪) there's something beautiful about the old derelict Mills and buildings, the roads are rammed and narrow but we muddle by just fine. The Canal is amazing, whether it's through the countryside or through industrial areas, I live here and it's fine, everything you could possibly need nearby, safe, house prices are extremely modest for a nice terrace, I'm on my back doorstep on the terrace at the beginning doing my Hitchcock cameo.

@yorkshiredrone Also aspiration is fine. To improve. But one man's artwork is another man's carbuncle. Uniformity is the death of individuality. I mean old matket vs new market in town. Plus there was recently talk of DEMOLIDHING HUDDERSGIELD RAILWAY STATION. That would be horrendous in my mind.

@davidsmith5523 I think that recent talk is silly rumours, they wouldn't dare touch the station, it'd be like knocking down Victoria Tower. They almost demolished the Piece Hall in the 70s, saved by 1 council vote, gosh.

@@dovestone_ thank-you👍

@malcolmyoung7866 Thanks for watching, and learning! There was plenty of foul language every time a pedestrian got in my way ha ha. When I started making the video I was just going to get some pretty shots of the place, but looking in to the history further I realised it was pretty interesting, how many cups of yorkshire tea? Wish I'd added a few more old pics, ah well always nice to know people can educate their friends on these fascinating topics, I really should do more history stuff, this video is really popular(small scale). Happy trucking, I'll get back to my latest epic, Last of the Summer Wine: Then and Now.

@billsimpson604 glad you enjoyed it, it really is an amazing feat of engineering for the time, the canals largely fell in to a state of disrepair, this one closed in 1944, the restoration started in 1981, opened 2001 fully.

@azy78 cheers man! Hopefully when you do it you'll cut out the boring bits, that canal goes on a bit sometimes, as does Ashton😜

@francessayer8000 Thanks, always nice to hear😁

@TheBlackShop ha ha but political😂

@@skareggae301 cheers mate, always nice to hear😁

@SandwichManStudios so some people do read that bit! Only have 3 batteries so a lot of back and forth, the stuff I do for my art😏

@Titanicus2 thank you! Next, a night time one...

@yorkshiredrone Definatly the town centre is so grand and full of history sometimes you can't see it from the ground.

@Titanicus2 very true and most people walk round without really looking up.

@@yorkshiredrone agreed

@fionadelahunty369 Scammonden Dam? Like it, must open my eyes to see them.

@toucan221 thanks for watching, always nice to hear positive feedback, It does make you look again once you look into the history of the place🤯🫡

@davidsmith5523 Thanks😁 the music editing is somewhat harsh. Aww I missed your puns David, water treat to have em back🫡

@workinprogresssince1974 I think someone on FB Marsden page said it was occupied up to the 70s, someone else said it was sold at auction a few years ago. Give me a lottery win I'll buy it, cool place. There is a pt 2 BTW, scary🤔 ua-cam.com/video/QrhoUzvlNVM/v-deo.htmlsi=4MhxTf3dVUGPqe_b

@azy78 it's an e-bike so I'm a bit of a fraud. I always feel like one anyway, it's still a workout, just not as much. Did different sections, but the trip to Ashton was from home. Milnsbridge, mainly canal but over the standedge for the tunnel, there and back that day I covered 40 miles but did ride round some areas, , mainly A62 on the return journey. I think Ashton is a good distance away from Manchester(6.6 miles) it has Trams though. I'd say doable as it's largely flatish, maybe 4 hours return..

Ahh that's why the video is so smooth lol. Thanks for letting me know and I'm gonna give it a shot next week on a clear day. Your vids are much appreciated as I wanted to know the intricate details of this route. I have already mastered birkby bradley greeenway to calder valley greenway to spen valley greenway and back within a day on a hybrid so I think this is also doable. Thanks again @yorkshiredrone.

@azy78 ha mainly smooth because the camera has got horizon balance switched on, pretty cool camera feature, the damn bike is so heavy it's like riding a truck that helps alot up hills, nice. Good man, glad they're useful, I'll try to get a rough version of the rest of the route knocked up in the next day or so and send a link, happy riding👌

​@azy78 you inspired me to get my lazy ass moving and finish it, took so long the seasons are all mixed up. ua-cam.com/video/jNLgsJEDziw/v-deo.htmlsi=VqqwVAOyzKgse_pq

@@azy78 cheers, always nice to hear😁

Spotted Excel Self Storage at 3:19 does it reconnect form Upper Brow Road?

Glad you enjoyed it, Still not finished part 2! Nearly... a quick look on the map, it's Stoney Battery Road, curious name for a road, I guess your best bet from paddock is to go via Birkhouse Lane. Enjoy😁

​@@azy78I think there is a path from that road, through some trees, I think.

Thanks mate, I was banking on the trees way which branches into 3 parts, one with 70 steps leading to upper brow rd which I don't fancy carrying a bike up or down and the other 2 are narrow wet and muddy. Birkhouse leading to stoney battery is better. Really looking forward to full part 2, as I believe it leads to aston under lyne which is quite phenomenal for a path from Hudds.

@azy78 no worries, yeah I wouldn't fancy that forest😏 on a bike.It does indeed lead to lovely Ashton, cycled it, droned it, I'll edit the bugger one day, spoiler alert, they have steps on the locks over there, pain on a bike. Check out the Standege: Overground, end to end video, bridges the gap from tunnel end to end, real pretty👌

@geetee7154 cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it, damn can only imagine what it was like all those years ago in the snow on the stormy moors, bleak and beautiful.

@MoellerEngineeringCo. Hello America! I can see the appeal, the history, the logistics, the beauty, never again will I look at one and just think it looks pretty.

I live just down the road from the res .

@guyroebuck8510 glad you enjoyed it, lovely place, I don't know when the path round it was complete. Ebike, a fully legal one👍

@mikehench it's going to be a regeneration... 10 year plan, damn I might not live that long! www.kirklees.gov.uk/beta/huddersfield-blueprint/key-projects/vibrant-culture.aspx

More likely houses for.......................?

@SandwichManStudios the photos always look really perfect, I don't think they'll be far off, it's gonna be a big old space including the old multistorey car park..

I think it's still.closed, I believe they said a landslip or something.

@Garffey aww glad you enjoyed it, got some stick for the cars, but it amused me😁 always glad to hear that people are getting a chance to look at their old stomping grounds.

Cheers mate, this was 2 years ago although it's quite low at the moment. The new Scam Dam video is so much better, gosh this is a jerky mess, pretty though!

@@yorkshiredrone No problem, subscribed and just watched Scammonden in the snow....Some lovely shots! 👍

@stevewhitwam1822 so true, fine on the phone but I watched it on TV and it was quite nauseating😂

@allieandmaria cheers, hmm that would have been a good call, it does look especially edgy on the TV, probably need better editing software too👍

@allieandmaria nice, usually not so bad in summer but this year even the moors are green with heavy growth, the best time is 6pm in November(see Nightmare 2...) dark and scary, make amazing pics😁

@@MUNKIB ta man! I shall devote my life to it henceforth...

@Steve_G7RTA cheers mate, if it's the M62 then it could only be one song😂 on Tiktok I used dance version of Fast Car, gotta be down with the kids innit🙄

@davidsmith5523 it is rather nice, as highlighted in one of my videos😁

@@davidsmith5523 must need the money by now

@@yorkshiredrone maybe he frittered it away?

@@davidsmith5523 you've got to be codding me, oh dear🫣

@Marsdener1 thanks, glad they are enjoyable, next, Holmfirth😏

@@ladyintheskyuk thanks very much😁 I'll be tiltshifting everything now🤔

@stevewhitwam1822 cheers Stephen, all very clear apart from the blurred birs of course😁 such a big file to make it look like this, ah well it was worth it🤫

@Steve_G7RTA cheers Steve, ha ha bloody hell you would have thought Epidemic Sounds would have a UK train

@@yorkshiredrone 😂 always capture my sounds from UA-cam 👍😀

@@Steve_G7RTA that would have been a good idea!

@darleytransportandtravel6353 really? Wow learn something new every day, yeah Village sounds prettier.

You're right about the "village" monniker; probably adds at least £20k to the value of any given property!

@davidsmith5523 someone's got excellent eyes, I'd still take the crossing, some cars stop....

@davidsmith5523 thanks very much David, I should have put the packhorse bridge in.

@yorkshiredrone Steve. Did you fly around that area and the the large house nearby? It is a quite magical place.

@davidsmith5523 not been up there in quite awhile, Eastergate is in the Marsden video very briefly, should have stayed longer, next time..
