  • In this video, we take a walk around the old print works that are located in Tottington.
    The ruins here are those of Tottington Print Works, known locally as ‘Tottington Mill’.
    If you stop about halfway down the cobbled path and look back towards Tower Farm, it is thought to be the place LS Lowry stood and painted the"Mill Yard, Tottington" in 1921.
    Tottington Print Works site is extensive and the walls of the buildings, particularly at the sides of the brook are large and impressive.

    I lived at stormer hill house in the 1983. I moved home to Florida in 85. In Florida for sure the holes you showed would be dug by a tortoise. Enjoyed your video. Walked by the hunt often. I have a restrike print of the hunt with Holcomb hill in the background circa 1770s.
    Thank you for your work. I get to Bury/Bolton every couple of years. Will stop by the printwoks...Dan

      Hi Dan and thanks for watching. It's a remarkable place to have a mooch around. Whilst it can be difficult at times to see much due to the undergrowth, there is still a real 'feel" to the place.

    Fantastic video. I walk the dog round there all the time. I remember they had an archaeological dig there about a decade ago where they uncovered a lot of the stonework. The Kirklees Brook was culverted until about 12 -15 years ago. The culvert was removed due to European environmental rules, and some of the weirs were demolished as well.
    The Holcombe Hunt is further down near the now defunct bird sanctuary., and is near where the Kirklees Print Works used to be (which was another mill).

      We had never been to this occasion prior to the video so was excited to film it in our own way. It's an interesting place I can safely say that.

    6:37 As kids, we called it the Lilly Pond or the Frog Pond. It wasn't overgrown at all back in the late 70s, early 80s. There were millions of frogs for a few summers, so much so that the roads around the immediate are were full of dead run over ones, tiny hopping frogs everywhere.

    You finished the video about 200 yards from my house in Greenmount,the terminus of the railway line, I regularly walk through that area and if you had continued a few hundred yards beyond the printworks you come to the farm which houses the hounds from the Holcombe Hunt,The gates actually have HH as its logo. Good video.thanks.

      Now that makes sense why we clearly heard hounds 😅 At the time, it sounded a littler eerie and we didnt know if we were hearing things or not!

    About that Randonautica : it really gets weirder and weirder, online there are rural walkers, explorers and even tourist with strange events to tell...like sometimes it " reads the mind " i think there is something to this !

      Hi Tom, we have another rando video all edited and added to our channel. It will be released next couple of weeks, but we got some really weird and to be honest, excellent results! Nothing sinister but what we got definately got us thinking 🤔

      @@Mandy-q2x It's great getting the viewers but at the end of the day, as long as we enjoy going out to these locations, that's what it's all about. Having people enjoy some of he videos is huge too, but it's about adventuring and finding new stories and places to visit.

      @user-po8eh3dr9p We both appear in the sequel to Redwood Massacre. We went up to Aberdeen a couple of years ago as extras. We know the writer / director David Ryan Keith, and he invited us over to appear in a small scene. It's at the very beginning in a library 😅 Our little claim to fame. It's called Redwood Massacre : Annihilation. ua-cam.com/video/-9vQbxM-lLM/v-deo.htmlsi=V-t3WlrfTAJBKuJX
      The first movie, Redwood Massacre, David allowed us to write the novel of the film 👍

      Many thanks Acorn. This was more of a gander and a spur of the moment walk around back in April. We have tried to hold back a fair few videos to use as back-ups for when we aren't out filming due to weather or in this case, holidays 😅

      There wasn't too much to see, BUT, you do get a sense of just how big the operation must have been back in its heyday.

    Calico works needed a lot of water heat and also land for bleaching so some of those covered channels would have been water supply channels and heat conduits.

      Cheers for the info Andy 😀 As you could tell, we knew very little about the place and it was just more about us going and and just recording what we found. Very interesting place though and it must have been an enormous place during its prime!
