Graham Greene’s mother was resident at Bushell’s House Goosnargh when my mum was deputy matron there.

It’s pronounced Quor-mor !

I'm still getting to grips with the demise of the best UA-cam channel that misplaced advertising can afford. Reduced to rewatching the auld episodes. What's the prognosis?

Fascinating, excellent presentation.

Ans news on when/if you are restarting Lancashire Footnotes? I miss them.

It's Darwen not Darwin

Seems the railway regeneration has hit a halt, judging by the level at which nature has reclaimed the tracks (as at July 2024, not in reference to the footage).

The locks are hillock locks wheelton nr chorley . Leeds Liverpool canal

The quarry is Denham quarry whittle le woods nr chorley.

You forgot to mention the Iranian Sarmatian Iazyges. That’s who King Arthur was also. Sarmatian.

I too had tears of laughter, I did the same walk with my husband, your breakdown of this walk is on point. Really, that bench, I sat on that with my head in my hands.

Congratulations on your 100th vlog. I have just found your channel and due to your witty delivery, you have a new subscriber.

great footage and explanations, thumbs up, thanks for sharing, have a nice day

A Charles Babbage footnote: I went to school with his grandson. Bill. That's not his name I'm called Bill.

It's pronounced Yelland,had an Aunt and Uncle lived there for years.

Don't ask me why but I was looking into gassometers and came across a reference to Dolphinholme and it's place in early gas history, oldest remains of a gasworks and now a scheduled monument. And that shot you've got of the site of the waterwheel? They claim (and I think it's more likely) is it's the remains of the gassometer. What fun!

A slight correction, Cartimandua had been ousted by her ex Venutius when the Romans invaded Lancashire. A big correction King Arthur was not a Saxon

Originally from Abram, on two occasions I participated in the Good Friday Walk to the top of Rivington Pike , I would have around the age of 8_9 , it was quite the hike I remember.I have been living in the US for the past forty years. In 2023 I spent several days staying in house at the foot the hill, exploring and reminiscing. It remains an attractive part of the country..

A great channel I've just found you I like it . great work

Ive just found your channel its great 👍🏻

I still lament the closure of Yates and Jackson's brewery. Mitchell's 'acquired' it when Y&J got into financial difficulties. Bill

Didn't the The Three Mariners used to be The Carpenter's?

Edith Rivett has her grave at St Saviour's church Aughton. Under the name E C Lorac she wrote many whodunnit novels including one entitled Crook o' Lune. She was as prolific as Agatha Christie but is not as well remembered . However the British Library is currently re-issuing a few of her books in its Classic Crime series

My family has roots here. In fact, some are buried in Warton. Your video is plain creepy and doesn't do much dignity.

Not to mention Hudson's ice cream in Chatburn: the liminal zone poised for a leap into Greater Yorkshire. I grew up in Chatburn. So I made that leap.

Wish id discovered this 3 years ago as a yorkshire man im loath to praise hut its fucking funny

My friend Maria lived in Anchorsholme and the Bispham. She didn't tell us about the history of these places. I'll have to have words with her! I did, in a very small way, add to the folklore of Bispham on one occasion. We were staying at her house a few years ago and she prepared a culinary masterpiece. She baked some potatoes and then scooped out the cooked middle and mashed it with cheese. She then returned this mash to the potato skin and served it with a flourish...or possibly some butter. I witnessed this culinary miracle and then pronounced that henceforth this concoction should be known as 'Bispham Showboats'. And it was! She has moved to Cleveleys now so we may have to amend the name. Bill

My friend Maria who lived in Bispham at the time, once told me and my partner that she had been up 'Nicky Nook'. I said "Ok Maria, where is this fictional nook?" She assured me that it existed and that it had a loud echo. Is this true? Bill

Well here I am again with more nostalgia.(See Ashton Memorial, Fleetwood, Bamber Bridge and KIrkby Lonsdale videos for larger helpings of nostalgia). The Station Hotel is where my cousin held his wedding reception. One of the most depressing venues imaginable. There is, or was, Steamtown, the old locomotive sheds which act as honeypots to those obsessed with old steam trains. The most exciting part of any visit to Carnforth must include a visit to Booth's, the nearest thing to Waitrose for people who like that sort of thing. For those who don't, there is an Aldi next door. Bill Oh and I almost forgot, Cecil Parkinson who passed for a romantic lead in the minds of female members of the Conservative Party, came from near Carnforth....
