Sutcliffe's hair was too bushy for a beatle-cut.

Is the village mentioned in The Doomsday Book ?

Excellent videos lads. This was so informative and a pleasure to watch something I knew nothing about. Keep the videos coming and Tom… please set up and UA-cam channel! Your a natural 👍🏼⭐️

Savile was a regular site where I grew up in Crowthorne in Berkshire which is where Broadmoor top security hospital is, and Savile was involved in a lot of charity work for Broadmoor. I remember my dad telling me he'd seen Savile in his Rolls Royce one evening cruising around the housing estate, sends a shiver up the spine wondering what was he up to. We also used to see him out jogging.

Well done lads for bringing us with you to the Mankinholes Village, and giving us a synopses of the history of the area, which I found fascinating, more of the same Tom! We live in a fascinating country steeped in our very own history.

Thank you for this very interesting video. A destination for us to discover on our next trip north.

You should have gone to the bridge on Hyde Road where there is a blue plaque on the bridge commemorating the event.

The Ocean Chemical Works were still in existence in 1945. In October 1935 the management applied to Ramsbottom Council for building an extension to the works. Mr. Kolkin of Prospect House, Ramsbottom, was the manager of the Ocean Chemical Works. In 1983, the land passed to the local authority, who turned it into a nature reserve

I've only just discovered this channel, but really enjoyed this video, and Tom has such a wealth of knowledge. How did he get to know so much about this area, and history in general? I'd love to have a better knowledge of history, but it seems to go in one ear and out of the other.

I guess I’ve seen too many “folk horror” movies. I’m always expecting werewolves or witches or something in these quaint, remote looking locations. 😅

Great video Matt and well done Tom excellent research and views of the countryside.. Looking forward to the next vids ✌️✌️

New subscriber and I’m really enjoying listening to all the uploads of your travels. So interesting and you clearly put the time in behind the scenes to carry out your research. Thank you! Your uploads are certainly giving me an appetite to get out more into nature this year and see/experience some of these wonderful places for myself. Look forward to the next one. Thanks Guys😁👍🫶🏻

Spent my childhood/youth in Lumbutts/Mankinholes, so this was very familiar territory! Nice to see the Shepherds Rest (where I worked behind the bar), Lumbutts Church (Sunday School for many years) and Mankinholes Chapel, which was still a working church when I lived there - the minister held a weekly youth club, where I had my first snog (not with the minister!). I also remember going on the mill lake in a rowing boat; the house and mill were owned by the Greenwood family at the time; hugely common surname in the area and I suspect it still is. The youth hostel was still in operation at that time and I remember a party of German schoolchildren on an exchange trip with Tod Grammar School staying there. I recall they all hated baked beans! I took part in the return visit to Germany to a very attractive town in the beautiful Eifel region - goodness knows what they thought of Tod in those rather grim days. Good to see it's still as windy as ever up there. Yet another great video - keep up the valuable work.

Hi Matt. I've only just discovered your channel but have been enjoying what i've seen so far. I'm wondering if you may be able to help me with a little bit of information, how well do you know Littleborough ?. About 35/40 years ago in my job as a truck driver i used to deliver to a factory in Shore Road Littleborough, i remember parking over night in the staff car park and walking to the pub at the far end of the road for something to eat, but i cannot for the life of me remember the name of the company or what they made and its been bugging me for ages. I've looked on google maps but it looks like the factory is long gone now. Hope you don't mind my asking, it was just a thought as you seem to have good knowledge of this part of the world. Keep up the great work, i look forward to the next video. Cheers.

Another informative video. I'm local to the area so found it of real interest. 👍

I live about 30 secs from this place moston blackley side and walking down lewis avenue on a night the dog crosses the road and wont walk on the fence side.... to be fair tho I dont know anyone that will go in there on a night you can feel some wierd energy even all the way from the road... walk through the estate a bit to the gate at the top of the 99 steps and just nope!! 😅 its really eerie!

In the 70s, my family used to live in one wing of Green Hayes, on Savile Park Road (now a funeral home). Jocelyn Horner, the sculptor, lived in the other wing. The Horners had been brought up at Green Hayes, which was owned by her father, Charles Horner, the jeweller. Brothers Tony and Charles Horner were frequent visitors, and often had tales to tell, of the house itself (it was benevolently haunted), and their childhood there. They had all known Christie as children. They saw him as an oddball. Apparently, Christie always wore plimsolls, which were not commonly worn at that time, and would creep up silently on groups of other children, and just stand quietly watching. He was not well liked, always an outsider.

Loved your Jacket Matt! Hope its from the film. Thank you very enjoyable. Great comments too

Yes guys!! Loved this so much. Tom thank you for getting into the maps and pulling out the history. Top work. I grew up round the area and have been enjoying your videos. Stuff I've always wondered about. Brilliant, thank you

Very interesting!😊

Its not as scary as hes making out

On Tod Pasta and Present, I recently learnt that there was a school up there.

Thanks guys. I really enjoyed this one and Tom is an absolute font of local history. I'm really impressed you braved the chilly weather when I'm only leaving the log burner to get more logs!

Ahh Mankinholes.. The name affectionately given to the homeless people of Manchester xD I jest! Great video, gents! Very interesting and informative! It's the first one I've seen from you guys, but I certainly look forward to binging more!

Did that walk. Manchester to Hebdnen Bridge on the train. Behind the station walk up to to Pike, then down Mankinholes, good pub there. then onto Littleborough and the train back,

Great little history lesson Tom 👍

It actually looks beautiful in the fog and snow. Thanks for sharing Matt 🙂

Thank you both for the insight.

Hi i grew up round there & i recently found out it used to be a farm about 130 years ago & them stones are whats left of the barn

Again, a relaxing and informative way to enjoy hot soup on a cold day!! Thank you!

Does this mean we're going to get more vids lead by Tom?

Great to see Tom upfront and well researched . Aged old Mankinholes. Lovely in summer, well done for braving the cold windy weather 😁 .

Loved seeking parts of mankinhole bank. Loved the stone brick houses and cottages. Interesting to hear that it meant little firece man. Lovely park of Yorkshire indeed thank you for the virtual tour

That was a fantastic video, really enjoyable, especially seeing Tom come out of his shell a bit! More of the same please (and youve clearly done this just to get me to mix Mat and Tom up even more!)

Thanks for letting me experience it without having to go 😂👏

Thoroughly enjoyed that, thank you 👌

i've been to some cracking parties on that car park at folly.

Tom flowing naturally as ever, bless him 😂 Great video x

Thank you for enduring the perilous conditions to give us another video!

What's the odd noise as you pan across the bridge at 2:36?

Oooh that's a nice surprise seeing Tom on here!
