I’ve grew up in Ashton in Makerfield, spent the first 29 years of my life there. My mum and dad still live in the area. I visit frequently, I live in a village called Garswood which is beside Ashton in Makerfield. Great video buddy
Makes me feel so inadequate knowing so little about my little spot in the world. Love this series. It wouldn't be out of place on the Discovery or History channel. The narration is really interesting and delivered with such an easy style and pace. But I do realise how much work you put into each episode, research, biking, filming, narration, b-roll, editing, music, footwear fund, and the rest. You make it look easy but it's not.
As an Ashton resident I especially enjoyed this one.
Reading the details of the Wood Pit mining disaster is so sad, of course for those who died but also the massive impact on the local area. Everyone would have known someone who was killed, and some unlucky families lost fathers and sons. People like to moan about health and safety these days, but it’s a minor inconvenience when the alternative is people literally dying while trying to feed their family.
And talking of the brutality of earlier times… you cycled past a Holiday Inn which was built on the site of Haydock Lodge, a mental asylum that housed largely the poor and the homeless. The scale of the mistreatment of ‘patients’ was scandalous even for the nineteenth century. It was debated in parliament and led to large scale reforms of asylums in the UK.
Another very informative video. The song is brilliant with a very catchy banjo.
Vulcan . fantastic history.. and those cottages are amazing.. I was working around there last night ..top Bimble as always mate
I grew up in Garswood just outside Ashton, went to school on Warrington Rd at Ashton Grammar. You took an interesting route to get to Ashton. They just announced the closure of Garswood Library that has been open 50 years. The building was originally a school built in 1728. The original school on the site was built in 1588. We don't know what is going to happen to the building as yet. My grandfather worked at Lyme Pit and I had relatives [Kay] killed at the Wood Pit disaster. Richard Evans originally lived in Garswood, the house he lived in still stands but is in a sad state and it is for sale. The Gerrard family were Catholics but somehow managed to stay out of prison for the most part. One of the Gerrards however was involved the in Gunpowder Plot and escaped the Tower of London to Rome where he wrote an account [in Latin]. You can still buy the book on Amazon. The Gerrards disapeared from the area in 1921, having been part of the local area since the Norman invasion [Brynne Hall]
Spent many happy times in Aston . Especially The Eagle and Child . Wife is from Newton le Willows. So, I spent a lot of courting hours there as well .
I park up at the Emmanuel church car park and I agree it’s a lovely little church, some very interesting grave stones if you get chance to read them, top bimble 🎉
Really enjoyed this one, I'm familiar with everywhere you went as I'm an Haydock lass. Keep bimbling 👍🏻
My daughter got married here and my grandchildren christened at St Thomas church 💖
Great bimble. Been passed the Vulcan works houses numerous times on the train to and from Manchester and often wondered about their history. Now I know.
Instead of Mrs Bimble keeping hold of your hand as a relic for future use, she should put your soggy ruined Adidas trainers in a safe place as a future relic for Bimblers to make pilgrimage to, maybe somewhere in Warrington (Central or Bank Quay station?).
Dale, what a fantastic idea. Ha. :)
Another Gooden cheers Kieran
Hard to believe what a powerhouse Vulcan was. Another very enjoyable bimble Kieran and, as you say, classic bimbling. You certainly covered a few miles there! Nice one. (Al Kennett)
And had to ride back. Ha
Excellent again Kieran 😊
Top Bimble but that ride from Vulcan village up to Wargrave and from wharf road up common road are killers on a bike i have done it lots of times in my younger days so well done for that.
Your favourite class 37s were built at Vulcan works
I do love them.

Hey Mr Bible,, is this music the smiths x
Kind of you to say. It is actually my own music. There are links in the description to listen and buy it if you'd like. :)
Great Bimble , so much history all around this area, have a look at this? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryn_Hall,_Ashton-in-Makerfield
Lyman Wood Pit? Is that a genuine mistake?
Lyme and Wood pit isnt it?
