    The wife and I enjoy watching your videos here in Houston, Texas. I have a somewhat tenuous connection with Widnes, as my sister's late husband Colin Mottershead's grandfather Joseph Mottershead, who was awarded the Victoria Cross in the first world war and has recently had a statue unveiled in the park near the war memorial i believe.
    My cousin used to live in Warrington and his widow i believe still does. My father used to work for Crossville Bus service so we would take a bus and go for a picnic some. where along the Bridgewater canal I used to ride my bike from Old Swan in Liverpool over the Transporter and on to the canal to go fishing, probably in the late 50's well before you where born I guess.
    Keep up the good work and give Molly a hug for us.
    Cheers,
    Nick Jones

    Great to meet you in Runcorn Kieran. Thanks for chatting whilst trying to make a video. Kieran is just as fun and charming in real life, even though he is a youtube superstar 😊

    Enjoy watching your content. Always love a bit of local history, much of which is right under our noses but we know nothing about it. 👍

    I've always assumed that the sewer vent was an old chimney. You learn something new every day.

    A station that is miles away from the town centre so far that you’d need to catch a bus if you were on foot. For some reason the people I knew from Widnes always got off at hough green? A Big shout out to Mill Brow best eye clinic around I’ve been going there for 30 years passing that vent wondering what it was.

    The best way to get a promotion is to over-estimate a job cost then when you come in under budget everyone thinks you're great ...but you usually cannot give the rest to the poor these days
