    The Anderton Lift to give its proper name is having considerabe work on it. Iremrmber it back in the 1980s and 90s when yhere was a campaign to save it. I think youtube has an srticle when Johnnie Morris of Animal Magic fame went up the lift. Worth seeing to see it then and now.

    Have been told the river used to run where Blackpool tower now stands..how was this possible please. ❤😊

    • @NarrowEscape1
      @NarrowEscape1 Місяць тому

      Well that’s a new one on us but Blackpool’s own tourism website suggests that was the potential case: “It’s clear that it previously flowed along a different route from its current course. And it’s possible that the old course was along the northern edge of Longridge Fell, reaching the sea near to where Blackpool Tower now stands. It’s not been conclusively proved, but finding Diamict (boulder clay or till) at depths in excess of 20 metres beneath the Tower supports the theory.” Seems weird though doesn’t it?!!

    Yuck what a mess 🤢🤮. It's very rare to actually see the CRT out on the canal in East Lancashire, so it's no wonder the canal gets in such a state. It even takes forever for any leaks to be repaired. I guess it's all due to lack of funds or manpower or both. The East Lancs section of the canal though has been dirty and disgusting for as long as I can remember.....and I'm now 70! You only have to look on the streets etc, to see that many parts of England have a real problem with litter louts, and the canal is another receptacle in which to dump rubbish. It's a wonder that there is any wildlife on or in the canal at all.

    I used to volunteer for the CRT in Burnley. We spent one Sunday a month clearing rubbish from the canal side, cleaning pathways, steps, removing Hymalayan Balsam, etc. We were out in all weathers, unless it was deemed unsafe. I was hoping to get to do some more interesting jobs within the remit of CRT, but that apparently wasn't offered to volunteers. We occasionally had a service boat to get the more challenging items out of the canal. It was very disheartening to go back to an area we had cleared, to find it looked the same as before. Piles of dirty nappies, drug paraphernalia, clothes, trolleys, endless empty beer cans. Sadly, it's not just Burnley that has this problem. People just see it as a way of disposing of unwanted stuff. Out of site, out of mind etc. Houses and businesses alongside the canals just throw unwanted crap over their fence, instead of disposing of it properly. Yes, the tourist areas are focused on, but the outskirts are left. It's an asset that has been neglected, like all other assets, libraries, swimming pools, sports centres, playgrounds etc. No longer seen as important with budget cuts etc. Sad, but I think it's only going to get worse. We may end up with some parts of the canal system that become un navigable because of the lack of maintenance.

    • @NarrowEscape1
      @NarrowEscape1 2 місяці тому

      I think you’ve nailed it absolutely 100% there. In some areas the canal is seen as a major asset by the locals and in others it’s the opposite - a place to dump stuff.. Burnley is sadly the latter…

    I spent all my childhood in Barrowford until the late 70s, and family history traces back over many generations living there. Barrowford actually consists of 3 parts, Higherford, Barrowford, and Lowerford. You only showed a smidgen in your video.....some of the better parts 😂. Population is forever increasing and is now well over 6K and probably nearer to 7K. The derilict looking building above SS Peter & Paul Church, was originally a corn mill. It's been an eyesore for about 50 years! That black box that you were trying to peer into, will be the post box for whoever now lives at the house which once was part of the tennis club. It's a public footpath all the way along the riverside, but the resident of the former tennis club house, used to try and stop people from walking past and at one point caused a lot of bother with walkers.....no idea if it's still the same person that lives there, but if you're ever in the area again, it is a lovely walk along there all the way to Roughlee.

I was like "what the heck", then it pulled into view!!! You just can't beat a steam locomotive! The history of the Preston Docklands is pretty cool.

      Awww, thanks Dan, that’s a lovely message to receive!! We’ve just been incredibly busy, and lucky really. The consultancy work was originally for 2 months but it didn’t take them too long to work out what a clever cookie Sue is and they realised they couldn’t do without her so they’ve extended the work and extended it and extended it again - it’s keeping us both incredibly busy but of course it’s nice to have the work! It’s Bank Holiday Monday here (08:30) and we’re off out working already. It was the same yesterday (Sunday of course) and Saturday, but when you work for yourself you just have to get the job done! Cheers for the long distance hug 💃🕺🏽

      Thanks Nigel, that’s a really uplifting message for us to receive - you’ve put a bounce in our step this evening with that! It’s been a while, to the point where editing the video took twice as long with having to remember where everything is 🤣 It was satisfying to finish it though and get it uploaded because life has been so very manic of late this felt like a little bit of normality returning! Thanks again for the message 👍😎 E & S
