if or when you get around to checking out the old Bradley Fold station (some part of the station exists still in the nearby pub carpark) on the old bury to bolton line be sure to have a look around the bradley fold trading estate. it has world war links being used to build aviation and ordinance components and when i was last there as a child had accessible air raid shelters in a nearby field for the workers. not sure if they will have been lost to time but many of the buildings on the main part of the estate are original still standing since before the wars
Thank you guys,I lived in partington from fifty nine as a five year old till eighty one,when I moved to Devon with my young family,I remember as a ten year old boy,buying my ticket from partington to altrinchham to go ice scating,I walked under that lovely white tiled underpass which you put the camera down,and the ship canal and the viaduct was my adventure playground,we used to risk a five pound fine,by walking over the bridge to cadishead to save the threepenny ferry crossing so as to be able to buy sweets at irlam swimming pool,so verry dangerous but it was a adventure for us young kids,thanks again.
The replaced spans are called plate girder and the older on the viaduct is called the Lattice design. The Lattice was a very common bridge type in the UK. Not utilized much here in Canada. We primarily use a truss style. Variants include the Allan, Bailey, Baltimore, Bollman, Bowstring, Brown, Howe, Lenticular, Pennsylvania, Pratt, I'm stunned at how intricate the old arches were and that they still exist at all. good on the 3 of you for searching them out. Thanks once again for a fascinating tour. I'll be having a look at the link.........Done. subscribed.Cheers sir.
Another gem. I don’t know if people realise how much work goes into editing but I spend hours and I don’t have music and drones and all the graphics you do so I very much appreciate it. Its also kind of spooky how similar the subject matter is on the one I’ve just done but I’ve focused more on Irlam Viaduct and each end of the line you were on.. I love the attention to detail with the close up of stonework and even plant life! I’ve been past both ends of that line dozens of times driving trains but never seen down it. Brilliant, thanks.
I’m already subscribed and into them Paul and very interesting they are too. For me its a general interest in railways and structures but more so a fascination for what was achieved all those years ago. Whether Martin is up on a viaduct or crawling through some culvert somewhere, I have the same fascination with it and it allows me to satisfy my curiosity without having to do it which is a bonus! If you want to do the Hayfield Branch or Middlewood Way, let me know.
@@doncoffey5820 thank you. Yes Martin's energy and enthusiasm is an inspiration, he genuinely does try to bring the viewers every detail. We'll make a note of those lines Don. Much appreciated.
I grew up in Partington so all the images you posted brought back memories as a kid. The bridge had the shipping containers placed into position because of the fights that used to take place between the lads in Partington and Cadishead. Trust me, when you were being chased or vice versa that bridge was not the easiest to cross at speed and often led to you being caught or just falling over and making a mess of yourself.
Wow the Manchester Ship Canal looks so small. I remember as a kid in the 60s I sometimes used to cycle from Altrincham to the canal near Warburton. Scrambling down the slippy bank always felt a bit scary with this dark wide, oily black water at the bottom of the cut. How small, green and pleasant it all looks now from the drone shots. Gone are oil covered rocks on the lower cutting from the ship wash. Now only hawthorn, ivy and nettles and fungi . Beautiful how nature always finds its way back. Thanks Martin for the post-industrial view of my childhood adventure grounds. More green less grimy black!
Absolute magic as always Martin..... I'm strangely moved when I watch these particular videos of abandoned stations and lines... All my worries drift away , and I'm transported back in time....Thank you so much for all you do ...xx
The underpass in partington station never ust to be blocked off as many years ago (around 20) me, my brother and friends ust to use it as a hide out. Many of times we ust to walk from partington station straight down the old tracks and across the bridge of doom. The good old days lol. Great video bright back lots of memories
back in the days of actually taking time and pride in what your doing none of this right now this very second rubbish just look at the victorian culverts compared with our `Modern` shuttering and concrete
Well I guess you would rather it be demolished then, and vanish forever.. You simply cannot keep using stuff which is no longer suitable.. just for sentimental reasons.... things become outdated and have to be replaced .. I guess you still think we should be travelling by Stevenson Rocket and Horse n carts
@@christycullen2355 your the one moaning about an old bridge , that has served it's purpose being left to rot .. pray tell what would you repurpose it as .. ..Luxury flats, a school... a Macdonalds??... are you gonna build roads to it and infrastructure??? It is NOT frigging TOWER BRIDGE ..it is an old railway bridge out in the middle of nowhere, that used to carry a railway line that was no longer needed.. Do you suggest they should have picked it up and transported it somewhere .. hmm bit tricky that... Hmm I know .. INSTEAD of building a NEW BRIDGE for the strange reason THAT IT WAS FRIGGIN NEEDED !!! .. Why didn't they just move this bridge then??? COS IT WAS NO LONGER SUITABLE OR REQUIRED , cos of the NEW LINE!!!! .. .. You frigging understand now... That is why it is rotting. You plough the money into saving it then if your so upset about it.. maybe have it in your back garden, or something ?..
@@kittyhawk9707 mate you've got anger issues big time 🤣 I'm simply saying it's a good piece of engineering. You're the one spouting absolute nonsense. Have you even heard what you're saying?
Wow, great video. Albeit a bit depressing to think of all the work that went into that station. Not to mention the thought of people once walking through the underpass, waiting for trains on the platform, workers busy unloading wagons. All of them long gone and only ruins remaining of the places they once walked. A very poignant video, many thanks for making and uploading it.
It reminds me of the Houston Ship channel in the US. Somebody looked at a small river or in the case of Houston a bayou and thought... I can hire some guys to dig that out and open a port dozens of miles away from the sea
And only took 6 years to build. They didn't mess about, they just fkn got on with it. No H&S or beaureurcratic (sorry i can't spell it correctly) bullsh*t in those days.
@@simontay4851 True - but men would have died during its construction........several at least. So although the Victorians didn't dillydally, they just went for it, there was a price, and that was peoples' lives. They would have seen some of the workers as 'expendable' and part of the whole construction process. Difficult for us today to accept as a viewpoint.
@@MrSam4850 Correct Sam.... I sailed up the MSC in the 70's. The ship was 56feet in the beam and the boards they put down the sides would smoke from the friction as we went through the locks. A tight squeeze indeed. 56ft beam is a small ship these days. (It think mine was 8,000gross tons)
You've done it again Martin! Great video with loads of interesting photographs and maps, some drone footage courtesy of Paul and Rebecca (what a challenge on their hands!), and some perfectly chosen music to complement the whole production. I particularly love the inclusion of the shots of Mother Nature showing her beauty in the midst of such wonderful and historic remains. Please keep the videos coming, I love them all (and yes, I have almost watched them from top to tail!). Proper Good Job (sic.)!!
I spent a wonderful summer afternoon looking over both sides of this bridge, apparently kids from north and south used to meet up for gang fights on the bridge. But then someone got stabbed and the containers got put in place. To the west is Latchford bridge in Grappenhall; it was the Stockport to Warrington line but closed in 1985. It is accessible from the South side but stick to the rails and certainly worth a look for it's outstanding Victorian Engineering. Great work as always fella!
Brilliant, video Martin its thirty years since I was last there at Partington station, I think the track had been singled by then, but thely did not run at weekends, the subway has be infilled a lot more since, I seem to remember it being half filled at that time. The main use of this line in its latter years was coal and limestone to British Steel and when the bridge was closed Shell chemicals used to receive chemicals in large tanker wagons. In 1966 some of the freight trains were pulled by quite famous named express engines based at Stockport.
That is absolutely amazing. That underpass?! Wow, preserved in time and you’re the first ever to document and report on it. Thanks for sharing it. Thanks for the videos, and thanks for the entertainment Martin!
Nice video martin from a 4th generation railwayman and salt steamers aged 63, people will eventually forget the past if it wasn't for the likes of you keep up the good work
Although its nice when you find the old remnants of the past, tucked away in the undergrowth, i can't help but feel sad that all these things are dissused an derelict. All the effort that went into creating these things, and its all gone to waste and forgotten about.
It’s a amazing that all those unused beautiful viaducts still exist and have kind of part in modern traffic. Such a pleasure to see the exploring you are doing and also the wonderful drone parts! Always looking forward to your videos👍🏻👌🏻
Timperley. The home of the much missed Frank Sidebottom (AKA Chris Sievey, R.I.P.). Another fine video. Your picture, editing, and presentation are top notch, as always. I showed a friend one of your videos (the superb 'Trapdoor' one), and he asked me what day and time it had been shown on TV. He was fascinated with it. That's how good your videos are. Nice one. You could get a lightweight folding shovel from a camping or Army surplus store. They're very light, and you could carry it in your pack.
I still have my copy of Frank Sidebottom's song "Mull of Timperley" (The mist is on the golf course) given to me by a friend long ago. Miss you Frank - and Little Frank...
I happen to be from partington myself and I've explored the station and the bridge many times and I never new the story behind them both. So thank you so much for giving me all the information!
Paul and Rebecca have just got another subscriber, talk about setting themselves a task! 7000 disused stations! Thanks Martin just loving this so much.
it always amazes me how fast nature reclaim former structures, nobody would think that some 30yrs ago there was still railroad traffice in that place ..
Lovely vid, great finds. I worked at Cadishead and often walked the dog round Carrington at the other end of this line, where old sidings including stops remain. There were talks of reopening this as a Metro line. They should.
Wow great vid....the old low bridge was truely lost in time...a great find and without explorers like you not many people would see this....The inner shot of the underpass was cool too.
Another amazing video Martin, the tiled underpass was a great find, they certainly built things to last in Victorian times, many thanks for taking us along on your exploration
These engineering monuments are fascinating! To think that once these areas were filled with smoking steam engines, carriages, trucks, passengers on their way to destination....a hustle and bustle....but now left for nature to take over. What a distruction of some amazing engineering feats gone for ever....and have we really progressed? The whole culture of the eara has gone. Why do we destroy our heritage and culture? Why do we leave these amazing buildings like to signal box to disappear. Why destroy these lovely old stations? We are a strange race. Great work folk to show us this stuff. So nostalgic!
A lot of these abandoned lines are ironically newer, less well engineered than the ones still in use, like the grand junction/London & Birmingham or Manchester-Leeds. Often were built to stop a rival building one or to tap in to a rivals area. Some never saw profit or much traffic. Or became duplicates. Although some of the decisions to close are baffling & is always sad to see the efforts gone to waste.
I wish you had said you were going to Glazebook! I'm a signaller there and could've told you lots more about the old line. It used to be from Wigan Central (closed in the 60's) to Stockport. The low level line went to British Tar Products with the last train being as late as February 2002. Most of the sidings at Glazebrook were used as exchange sidings for the ship canal company and the Lancashire union steelworks at Irlam. The reason for the lines closure was the cost of renovating cadishead viaduct costed at £4million in 1985 and that was too much for BR. There are plans to reopen the viaduct for foot traffic and eventually for a heritage steam railway funded by the Hamilton Davies foundation but personally I doubt it will happen, the last time I was on the viaduct in 1999 it had rotted through in places where you can see the canal below. I would advise anyone thinking of getting on to it to not do so , it's very unsafe. Have you looked at Irlam station? There is a cafe / bar / museum in the old station building with pictures of the surrounding lines. Cool video, live the drone footage.👍👍
I was part of the team that painted those containers on the bridge a good few years ago. It took ages, especially removing the razor wire and metal sheets that run alomg the edges. Oh and the containers are filled with concrete so you can't cut through them.
You always explain so well where the line went and where from with the maps Martin. I'm a map freak myself (Never use a sat nav) so appreciate seeing how things fitted together. There used to be branch line off the now Severn Valley Railway in Worcestershire (runs now between Bridgenorth and Kidderminster) just past Bewdley that went through Stourport on Severn. Some of that line is still walkable , I used to do it years ago when I lived that way.
Wonderful Martin, as always. Good luck to Paul and Rebecca in their quest. That subway was just marvelous! Thanks so much for sharing, a fascinating video.
Thanks to you the amazing architecture here would be missed by us and again your enthusiasm is infectious and so beautifully described for us all to see. If not documented by you all this would be lost. Thankyou for sharing. Great work!
God Martin, we have lost so much of the railways haven’t we And the roads are busier than ever! Off I go now to ‘everydisusedstation’! Thanks for sharing 🚂
Amazing as usual Martin. Brought back memories again of my dad. He worked as relief signalman in the 50's so would have been in the Cadishead box and the Glazebrook box at various times - can't remember how far he went certainly- to Irlam but I think further than that. So much history out there hidden from sight.
Great video, Martin. The old arches you found under the older, (low-level) line on the Partington side of the viaduct are part of the bridge where the line crossed the River Mersey before the Ship Canal was built, (the river ran slightly to the South-East of the present canal course at this point. I travelled on the line in a diesel train from Manchester Piccadilly to Liverpool around 1974, when the train was diverted due to partial closure of the normal route. It went Eastwards from Manchester towards Guide Bridge and then via Woodley, Stockport Tiviot Dale, (remains of) and through to Glazebrook via the Cadishead Viaduct, rejoining the normal route at Glazebrook Junction.
Great video, the ship canal has so many interesting sites Latchford has a similar viaduct on the LNWR Stockport to Warrington railway which is now a part of the Trans-Pennine long distance path. access to the viaduct is obstructed for safety. The Latchford area also has working locks and a working swing bridge There seems to be currently an increase in the container ship traffic on the ship canal. Keep up the good work!.
I lived in Stretford from '62 -' 66 and on Sundays my Dad used to take my brother and me to Irlam Locks to watch the ships go through. The viaduct is clearly visible from there. I can remember trains going across it. I went myself a couple of times in the '80s and I thought I could remember A DMU going across on one occasion, but maybe I'm wrong on that count.
When I saw the first few seconds I thought, I know that, it's Cadishead Viaduct. I lived in Cadishead for the first 30 years of my life. Went to school there and worked at Lancashire Steel, now long gone. The iron footbridge I know well. Used it twice a day for five days a week to go to school. I lived in sight of that bridge and remember the trains. I used to watch shunting operations too in the sidings. The old map showed allotments which I walked through on my way to school. The site of the steelworks is on the Cadishead side of the canal and on the Manchester side of the viaduct.It was the main employer for the area. Mt father worked there too. I didn't know the reason for the two bridges over Liverpool Road, your explanation answered that question. Thanks for the memories and nostalgia Martin.
Thank you for looking at this old route! Historically it was more important than the other line into Manchester as this line carried the crack express trains to both St Pancreas and Kings Cross from Liverpool. I’ve always wanted to know more about this lost main line route!
Wow Martin you outdid yourself. Just love everything train and railway. Loved the bridge and oh those arches were fanbloodytastic,I so love the brickwork . All in all I think the best so far. I am following the Whitewicks journey too. It’s thru them I found you. So enjoying. Trying to catch up with your older videos
Nice that you're covering the railway history near you. We have an abandoned line down here, but there's nothing on UA-cam about it. Keep up the good, and interesting, work.
@@pwhitewick That would be good to see. No doubt at some point you'll be trying to find 2 of the abandoned platforms that were here anyway. I'm not too familiar with the history of them, just Margate East was on the old Margate Sands Line, and you can see the old Margate goods yard and follow the remaining evidence through to Ramsgate.
I love Videos about urbex and disused railways. I'm a great Fan of old Houses, Factories and railways. You are the best urbexer. I have subscribed your Channel. Best Wishes for your Work and for your next ideas.
It is hard to imagine how those who designed and worked on those structures felt about it all! They had gone from pre-industrial rural economy into a modern industrial one almost overnight. The tombstones of that industrialisation can still be seen ..... but how long until even those last remnants are gone? I used to go to Harry Ramsdens in Salford (alas no more eather) .... they had many pictures on the wall, some of which were the construction of the Ship Canal in that area! I wonder if someone in the future will be doing an equivalent thing with the remnants of the Manchester Tramway? It may be an idea to show how these different sections of railway linked up before Mr Beecing got his hands on them! All in all, another great video!
It was *Beeching* not *Beecham* and he was on a contract with British Railways to try and improve things as they were running at a huge loss. His report was based on *ONE DAY ONLY* in 1963, just before the Summer Holiday season, but Beeching cared little for any of that. In 1974, surprise, surprise, he was asked to officially re-open one of the many lines he'd closed in his damning Report, but as a Heritage Railway. He did, but I can't remember which one. I'd love to read of his comments on that day. I think it would be a HUGE backflip from a man who cared little for anyone or anything...
Hi martin we use to play on this bridge as kids when living in irlam, then moved to partington as a young teenager and still messed about on the bridge...lol
Woohoo. Another combination of two of my favourite exploration channels. :) People like yourselves bring history to life and keep it from being forgotten. Hats off to you all.
That was absolutely fantastic. The stonework and brickwork in those arches are beautiful and the tunnel was a great find. The drone footage was marvelous and now I'm going to subscribe to Paul and Rebecca's channel!!
Thanks for the video. I have been under these bridges many times in the past and never knew about why or even wondered about the two bridges. wonderful, thanks and keep up the good work. Living in the US its great to see my old homeland narrated with such enthusiasm, cheer bud
Amazing piece yet again. Love the drone views! Wouldn't fancy walking over the bridge, looks like it's been deserted for far longer than it has! Great stuff, really enjoyed. 😃
Another goodun Martin, Paul & Rebecca have a job for life, but good documentary info for future generations 👍. Next time we drive in to Manchester We’ll have to go via Cadishead for a #martnzerotour photo, you really are getting us out and about.
Never in the history of exploring underpasses has a Mobile Phone been so tightly held!!! Superb and thanks. My Grandad worked for Cheshire Lines for 2 years but their Safety Record scared him!! My Dad worked in Partington for several years in the early 1960's. Their safety record was little better!! David and Lily who returned to the area a month ago for the Oldham Model Engineer Exhibition.
Another top video Martin, brought back so many memories for me as this Is where we used to play back In the mid to late 60's when I lived In Partington. We used to slide down that grass embankment on big piece's of cardboard, there used to be another bridge there on the Partington side just before the canal Viaduct, we had a rope swing hanging off that. We also used to put copper pennies on the tracks when a train was coming to get them flattened, sometimes we had to search to find them after the train had passed. We spent many a Saturday playing around that area. Thank you so much Martin for doing this video, excellent job mate. Cheer's from Canada. :)
I've been along part of this line. And last time I went there in the very early 2000's the lower line from Glazebrook to the ship canal was still there, but it had been closed and lifted by 2003. The higher line over the ship canal has been closed and lifted much longer. I think there is still some well overgrown track in place on the Partington side leading down to Skelton junction near Altrincham.
Fantastic video Martin, great to see the crossover with Paul & Rebecca too, great folk to spend the day with. That Railway underpass was such a great find. The drone shots are great, might get one too 😃
Another quality video. I was never bothered about old railways but the way you shoot the video's and tell the history has got me hooked. I was looking into old station's and seen the old piccadilly station, I would love to get your take on it and find out what history you can dig up.. Apparently all the old track, stoppers, posters and ticket booths are there. If that's something you would consider.
Always enjoy your videos and evident love of Manchester. From Seattle and looking forward to visiting Manchester. And Thanks for introducing us to Whitewick's channel.
Just a few days ago, maybe even while you were there, I was driving past this viaduct and musing what an interesting structure to climb and abseil from. Nice video!
This was really wonderful! 👍 Love how you describe and tell the story, makes it so easy to follow along. Really well done Martin, thoroughly enjoying your videos! I've subscribed to Paul & Rebecca's channel! Thank you...take care!
Nice collaboration on the Cadishead - Partington line and what a treasure. Seeing the mix of the keystoned old line it was like Athens yet the platforms of Partington look like they were made yesterday and surreal to be overgrown. A lovely shot of Cadishead Station with a War Department "Austerity" locomotive. The line was dieselised quite early with d.m.u. enough for the traffic. I think the ex-CLC route had previously enjoyed the services of railmotors. A steam engine permanently coupled to a carriage which was fitted with a cab at the rear with brakes and regulator. The driver switched ends at the termination of the service whilst the fireman stayed on the locomotive. There was normally a giant gong over the cab in the coach. I know there was a service from Warrington Bank Quay (Low-level) to Stockport Tiviot Dale that traversed the CLC route using railmotors and am 60% sure the Partington line was equipped with them. There was considerable objection when public services were withdrawn and stations like West Timperley and Broadheath also lost their services. Occasionally locals campaign to get it reopened. I think there are development plans for Carrington and Trafford Waters that would make services more viable and more environmental than adding to the road. It is amazing how much nature takes over. With so many birch trees perhaps you should take a trowel for the truffles. In the credits you didn't acknowledge the Great Tit's voice-over when you where on the new bridge looking down at the plate-girder green bridge (old). That "teacher, teacher, teacher" sound means you weren't alone. Mighty quest of that couple getting to the site of each disused station. Here in the North West were Beeching struck, but not just him, he takes the can but there were shut before and after him must be a labour of love. There are that many. I remember as a kid seeing Blackpool Central and Fleetwood stations you'd never guess they would shut. Fleetwood was a lovely LYR yellow brick station with covered walkway to the ships. My understanding was they were never on Beeching's plan for closure but the local councils wanted the land for development and let Beeching take the can. Politics eh🤔. I think Blackpool Central and Talbot Road (Blackpool North) had 23 platforms combined. Thanks for the film.👍
What great little film I used to play around them old lines love the film it’s like a little walk in the country with nature shots keep up the good work
Great vid. Love the input of Paul and Rebecca, where their mission intersects with yours.Amazing how quickly nature reclaims engineering.As Sandy Denny once sang "Who knows where the time goes?"
Another insite into our list heritage on the railways . Love these hidden gems been a Railway fan as you well know . You make some great videos & find some surprising stuff
Another great video Martin, quite poignant for me having grown up around Partington and then worked over the line before closure,sad that the viaduct and infrastructure left to rot away,but the so arches I guess will be around a long time yet, testimony to the workmanship of the period.I will watch this video many times while I'm still around as it evokes such good memories,many thanks. memories

Thanks Dom glad it brought back the memories
The replaced spans are called plate girder and the older on the viaduct is called the Lattice design. The Lattice was a very common bridge type in the UK. Not utilized much here in Canada. We primarily use a truss style. Variants include the Allan, Bailey, Baltimore, Bollman, Bowstring, Brown, Howe, Lenticular, Pennsylvania, Pratt, I'm stunned at how intricate the old arches were and that they still exist at all. good on the 3 of you for searching them out.

Wow, great video. Albeit a bit depressing to think of all the work that went into that station. Not to mention the thought of people once walking through the underpass, waiting for trains on the platform, workers busy unloading wagons. All of them long gone and only ruins remaining of the places they once walked.
A very poignant video, many thanks for making and uploading it.
Thank you very much
The Manchester Ship Canal & Salford Docks... a sea port 30 odd miles inland.. Magnificent feat of engineering and unique.
It reminds me of the Houston Ship channel in the US. Somebody looked at a small river or in the case of Houston a bayou and thought... I can hire some guys to dig that out and open a port dozens of miles away from the sea
TD problem is now the MSC isn’t large enough for most modern oceangoing vessels...
And only took 6 years to build. They didn't mess about, they just fkn got on with it. No H&S or beaureurcratic (sorry i can't spell it correctly) bullsh*t in those days.
@@simontay4851 True - but men would have died during its construction........several at least. So although the Victorians didn't dillydally, they just went for it, there was a price, and that was peoples' lives. They would have seen some of the workers as 'expendable' and part of the whole construction process. Difficult for us today to accept as a viewpoint.
@@MrSam4850 Correct Sam.... I sailed up the MSC in the 70's. The ship was 56feet in the beam and the boards they put down the sides would smoke from the friction as we went through the locks.
A tight squeeze indeed.
56ft beam is a small ship these days. (It think mine was 8,000gross tons)
You've done it again Martin! Great video with loads of interesting photographs and maps, some drone footage courtesy of Paul and Rebecca (what a challenge on their hands!), and some perfectly chosen music to complement the whole production. I particularly love the inclusion of the shots of Mother Nature showing her beauty in the midst of such wonderful and historic remains.
Please keep the videos coming, I love them all (and yes, I have almost watched them from top to tail!).
Proper Good Job (sic.)!!
Thanks Andy very much 👍🏼
I spent a wonderful summer afternoon looking over both sides of this bridge, apparently kids from north and south used to meet up for gang fights on the bridge. But then someone got stabbed and the containers got put in place. To the west is Latchford bridge in Grappenhall; it was the Stockport to Warrington line but closed in 1985. It is accessible from the South side but stick to the rails and certainly worth a look for it's outstanding Victorian Engineering. Great work as always fella!
Brilliant, video Martin its thirty years since I was last there at Partington station, I think the track had been singled by then, but thely did not run at weekends, the subway has be infilled a lot more since, I seem to remember it being half filled at that time. The main use of this line in its latter years was coal and limestone to British Steel and when the bridge was closed Shell chemicals used to receive chemicals in large tanker wagons. In 1966 some of the freight trains were pulled by quite famous named express engines based at Stockport.
That is absolutely amazing. That underpass?! Wow, preserved in time and you’re the first ever to document and report on it. Thanks for sharing it. Thanks for the videos, and thanks for the entertainment Martin!
Another quality video Martin. Nice co-op with Paul & Rebecca. It still amazes me how much history is under our noses.
Nice video martin from a 4th generation railwayman and salt steamers aged 63, people will eventually forget the past if it wasn't for the likes of you keep up the good work
Although its nice when you find the old remnants of the past, tucked away in the undergrowth, i can't help but feel sad that all these things are dissused an derelict. All the effort that went into creating these things, and its all gone to waste and forgotten about.
As Peter Crenshaw, from the Three Investigators, would say:” I’ll buy a double helping of that”
@@pauloconnor2980 mercy and goodness and sweetness and light!
It’s a amazing that all those unused beautiful viaducts still exist and have kind of part in modern traffic.
Such a pleasure to see the exploring you are doing and also the wonderful drone parts!
Always looking forward to your videos👍🏻👌🏻
Fantastic footage and story yet again, the old underpass at the end just made it all superb, great work, keep it up Martin.
Timperley. The home of the much missed Frank Sidebottom (AKA Chris Sievey, R.I.P.). Another fine video. Your picture, editing, and presentation are top notch, as always. I showed a friend one of your videos (the superb 'Trapdoor' one), and he asked me what day and time it had been shown on TV. He was fascinated with it. That's how good your videos are. Nice one. You could get a lightweight folding shovel from a camping or Army surplus store. They're very light, and you could carry it in your pack.
I still have my copy of Frank Sidebottom's song "Mull of Timperley" (The mist is on the golf course) given to me by a friend long ago. Miss you Frank - and Little Frank...
I happen to be from partington myself and I've explored the station and the bridge many times and I never new the story behind them both. So thank you so much for giving me all the information!
Thanks very much Tyler
Paul and Rebecca have just got another subscriber, talk about setting themselves a task! 7000 disused stations! Thanks Martin just loving this so much.
Cheers Duncan. Pleasure to have you on board.
it always amazes me how fast nature reclaim former structures, nobody would think that some 30yrs ago there was still railroad traffice in that place ..
Lovely vid, great finds. I worked at Cadishead and often walked the dog round Carrington at the other end of this line, where old sidings including stops remain. There were talks of reopening this as a Metro line. They should.
Wow great vid....the old low bridge was truely lost in time...a great find and without explorers like you not many people would see this....The inner shot of the underpass was cool too.
Another amazing video Martin, the tiled underpass was a great find, they certainly built things to last in Victorian times, many thanks for taking us along on your exploration
Its still in as good condition as the day it was built.
Tiling like that is known as 'Victorian Lavatorial' Ha-ha!
When you see how quiet the canal and docks are now it's hard to imagine how busy it used to be
Absolutely,I can remember watching Ships and Trains from some point near Trafford Bar as a youngster,blimey how it's all changed.
These engineering monuments are fascinating! To think that once these areas were filled with smoking steam engines, carriages, trucks, passengers on their way to destination....a hustle and bustle....but now left for nature to take over. What a distruction of some amazing engineering feats gone for ever....and have we really progressed? The whole culture of the eara has gone. Why do we destroy our heritage and culture? Why do we leave these amazing buildings like to signal box to disappear. Why destroy these lovely old stations? We are a strange race.
Great work folk to show us this stuff. So nostalgic!
A lot of these abandoned lines are ironically newer, less well engineered than the ones still in use, like the grand junction/London & Birmingham or Manchester-Leeds. Often were built to stop a rival building one or to tap in to a rivals area. Some never saw profit or much traffic. Or became duplicates. Although some of the decisions to close are baffling & is always sad to see the efforts gone to waste.
I wish you had said you were going to Glazebook!
I'm a signaller there and could've told you lots more about the old line.
It used to be from Wigan Central (closed in the 60's) to Stockport.
The low level line went to British Tar Products with the last train being as late as February 2002.
Most of the sidings at Glazebrook were used as exchange sidings for the ship canal company and the Lancashire union steelworks at Irlam.
The reason for the lines closure was the cost of renovating cadishead viaduct costed at £4million in 1985 and that was too much for BR.
There are plans to reopen the viaduct for foot traffic and eventually for a heritage steam railway funded by the Hamilton Davies foundation but personally I doubt it will happen, the last time I was on the viaduct in 1999 it had rotted through in places where you can see the canal below.
I would advise anyone thinking of getting on to it to not do so , it's very unsafe.
Have you looked at Irlam station?
There is a cafe / bar / museum in the old station building with pictures of the surrounding lines.
Cool video, live the drone footage.👍👍
Thanks for the extra info Adele. Yup the bit where you saw us eating cake was filmed in the cafe on the Irlam Station. 👍
those shipping containers obviously there for a reason then !
It would cost a lot more than 4M now.
@@richardclarke376 Yes!! And filled with concrete I understand . . . .
Excellent video, thanx Martin , Paul & Rebecca
I was part of the team that painted those containers on the bridge a good few years ago. It took ages, especially removing the razor wire and metal sheets that run alomg the edges.
Oh and the containers are filled with concrete so you can't cut through them.
How the hell did they get the containers up there in the first place. They must weigh at least a ton even without being filled with concrete
How were the container placed there? Good to know about the concrete - but it will never affect me! Ha-Ha! (I'm 85)
Another "Classic" information/visual -packed presentation complimented with blue skies
Superb video! What a treat to see you all working together, and as always a fascinating watch. Thanks!
You always explain so well where the line went and where from with the maps Martin. I'm a map freak myself (Never use a sat nav) so appreciate seeing how things fitted together. There used to be branch line off the now Severn Valley Railway in Worcestershire (runs now between Bridgenorth and Kidderminster) just past Bewdley that went through Stourport on Severn. Some of that line is still walkable , I used to do it years ago when I lived that way.
Wonderful Martin, as always. Good luck to Paul and Rebecca in their quest. That subway was just marvelous! Thanks so much for sharing, a fascinating video.
Thanks Mike. 👍
What a great video Martin really enjoyed it the music the editing fantastic, its amazing the workmanship what went in to the railways.
Great insight into the glory days of our rail networks thanks for this great film
Thanks to you the amazing architecture here would be missed by us and again your enthusiasm is infectious and so beautifully described for us all to see. If not documented by you all this would be lost. Thankyou for sharing. Great work!
Absolutely fantastic video Martin really enjoyed it I love your old railway videos keep up the brilliant work!
God Martin, we have lost so much of the railways haven’t we
And the roads are busier than ever!
Off I go now to ‘everydisusedstation’!
Thanks for sharing 🚂
Look forward to having you over Phil. 👍👍
Amazing as usual Martin. Brought back memories again of my dad. He worked as relief signalman in the 50's so would have been in the Cadishead box and the Glazebrook box at various times - can't remember how far he went certainly- to Irlam but I think further than that. So much history out there hidden from sight.
Great video, Martin. The old arches you found under the older, (low-level) line on the Partington side of the viaduct are part of the bridge where the line crossed the River Mersey before the Ship Canal was built, (the river ran slightly to the South-East of the present canal course at this point. I travelled on the line in a diesel train from Manchester Piccadilly to Liverpool around 1974, when the train was diverted due to partial closure of the normal route. It went Eastwards from Manchester towards Guide Bridge and then via Woodley, Stockport Tiviot Dale, (remains of) and through to Glazebrook via the Cadishead Viaduct, rejoining the normal route at Glazebrook Junction.
I am very envious that you travelled this line Ken and Diesel haulage
Great video, the ship canal has so many interesting sites Latchford has a similar viaduct on the LNWR Stockport to Warrington railway which is now a part of the Trans-Pennine long distance path. access to the viaduct is obstructed for safety. The Latchford area also has working locks and a working swing bridge There seems to be currently an increase in the container ship traffic on the ship canal. Keep up the good work!.
You’ve done it again absolutely fantastic Martin your a brilliant presenter captivating keep it up Mate
That was so what we all love,plus two additional like minded souls!
I lived in Stretford from '62 -' 66 and on Sundays my Dad used to take my brother and me to Irlam Locks to watch the ships go through. The viaduct is clearly visible from there. I can remember trains going across it. I went myself a couple of times in the '80s and I thought I could remember A DMU going across on one occasion, but maybe I'm wrong on that count.
Another fantastic installment of past history, professionally presented as always. and added interest via the hook up with Paul and Rebecca.
Bored at work,a true relief watching another interesting episode in your "modern archeology" series.Keep up the good work from Sweden
When I saw the first few seconds I thought, I know that, it's Cadishead Viaduct. I lived in Cadishead for the first 30 years of my life. Went to school there and worked at Lancashire Steel, now long gone.
The iron footbridge I know well. Used it twice a day for five days a week to go to school. I lived in sight of that bridge and remember the trains. I used to watch shunting operations too in the sidings.
The old map showed allotments which I walked through on my way to school.
The site of the steelworks is on the Cadishead side of the canal and on the Manchester side of the viaduct.It was the main employer for the area. Mt father worked there too.
I didn't know the reason for the two bridges over Liverpool Road, your explanation answered that question.
Thanks for the memories and nostalgia Martin.
Thank you for looking at this old route! Historically it was more important than the other line into Manchester as this line carried the crack express trains to both St Pancreas and Kings Cross from Liverpool. I’ve always wanted to know more about this lost main line route!
Just brilliant. The underpass was a brilliant find.
Wow Martin you outdid yourself. Just love everything train and railway. Loved the bridge and oh those arches were fanbloodytastic,I so love the brickwork . All in all I think the best so far. I am following the Whitewicks journey too. It’s thru them I found you. So enjoying. Trying to catch up with your older videos
Nice that you're covering the railway history near you. We have an abandoned line down here, but there's nothing on UA-cam about it. Keep up the good, and interesting, work.
Happy to check it out Gareth....
@@pwhitewick That would be good to see. No doubt at some point you'll be trying to find 2 of the abandoned platforms that were here anyway. I'm not too familiar with the history of them, just Margate East was on the old Margate Sands Line, and you can see the old Margate goods yard and follow the remaining evidence through to Ramsgate.
I believe that you could make grass growing in someone's lawn utterly fascinating.
Why thank you Steve 😀
I love Videos about urbex and disused railways. I'm a great Fan of old Houses, Factories and railways. You are the best urbexer. I have subscribed your Channel. Best Wishes for your Work and for your next ideas.
Hopefully you'll like ours in that case Markus. 👍
Yes, indeed. I appreciate your patience.
Another interesting video Martin ....... Cheers mate.....
Abandoned railway lines are just so fascinating Martin, and you bring such enthusiasm to your videos. Thanks!
Thank you Scott. Yes I do love finding this stuff. Much appreciated
It is hard to imagine how those who designed and worked on those structures felt about it all! They had gone from pre-industrial rural economy into a modern industrial one almost overnight. The tombstones of that industrialisation can still be seen ..... but how long until even those last remnants are gone?
I used to go to Harry Ramsdens in Salford (alas no more eather) .... they had many pictures on the wall, some of which were the construction of the Ship Canal in that area!
I wonder if someone in the future will be doing an equivalent thing with the remnants of the Manchester Tramway?
It may be an idea to show how these different sections of railway linked up before Mr Beecing got his hands on them!
All in all, another great video!
It was *Beeching* not *Beecham* and he was on a contract with British Railways to try and improve things as they were running at a huge loss. His report was based on *ONE DAY ONLY* in 1963, just before the Summer Holiday season, but Beeching cared little for any of that. In 1974, surprise, surprise, he was asked to officially re-open one of the many lines he'd closed in his damning Report, but as a Heritage Railway. He did, but I can't remember which one. I'd love to read of his comments on that day. I think it would be a HUGE backflip from a man who cared little for anyone or anything...
@@tobys_transport_videos .... I stand corrected!
The containers on the viaduct make it look so ominous. It’s like something from 28 days later or some other zombie film.
Exactly !
Reminded me of video footage of RUC police stations in NI during the Troubles...
They were a bugger to paint too when we did them
Yep thought the same 😂
"Don't Dead, Open Inside"
I used to go for a pint and sometimes a meal in the Cheshire Lines pub in Cheadle. Its a well preserved station put to a good use !
Hi martin we use to play on this bridge as kids when living in irlam, then moved to partington as a young teenager and still messed about on the bridge...lol
Woohoo. Another combination of two of my favourite exploration channels. :) People like yourselves bring history to life and keep it from being forgotten. Hats off to you all.
Thank you Sir, much appreciated
That was absolutely fantastic. The stonework and brickwork in those arches are beautiful and the tunnel was a great find. The drone footage was marvelous and now I'm going to subscribe to Paul and Rebecca's channel!!
Thank you Grendel am sure they will appreciate it
Great video once again just love every second, well done 👍🏻
WoW! Three of my favourites in one video!
Keep it up chaps, and chapess...
Cheers Leonard
@Robert In-The-Moment cheers Robert. 👍👍
Thanks for the video. I have been under these bridges many times in the past and never knew about why or even wondered about the two bridges. wonderful, thanks and keep up the good work. Living in the US its great to see my old homeland narrated with such enthusiasm, cheer bud
Amazing piece yet again. Love the drone views! Wouldn't fancy walking over the bridge, looks like it's been deserted for far longer than it has! Great stuff, really enjoyed. 😃
Such a fascinating walk. Really great post. Many thx..
Really enjoyed this video some fantastic finds, especially the underpass at Partington Station. Thanks Martin.
Another goodun Martin, Paul & Rebecca have a job for life, but good documentary info for future generations 👍.
Next time we drive in to Manchester We’ll have to go via Cadishead for a #martnzerotour photo, you really are getting us out and about.
Cheers Stew
Never in the history of exploring underpasses has a Mobile Phone been so tightly held!!!
Superb and thanks. My Grandad worked for Cheshire Lines for 2 years but their Safety Record scared him!! My Dad worked in Partington for several years in the early 1960's. Their safety record was little better!!
David and Lily who returned to the area a month ago for the Oldham Model Engineer Exhibition.
Another top video Martin thanks for the tour and keep up the good work
Another top video Martin, brought back so many memories for me as this Is where we used to play back In the mid to late 60's when I lived In Partington. We used to slide down that grass embankment on big piece's of cardboard, there used to be another bridge there on the Partington side just before the canal Viaduct, we had a rope swing hanging off that. We also used to put copper pennies on the tracks when a train was coming to get them flattened, sometimes we had to search to find them after the train had passed. We spent many a Saturday playing around that area. Thank you so much Martin for doing this video, excellent job mate. Cheer's from Canada. :)
Another interesting and educational video that Underpass is amazing. Keep up the good work Martin
That Partington underpass is seriously impressive
I've been along part of this line. And last time I went there in the very early 2000's the lower line from Glazebrook to the ship canal was still there, but it had been closed and lifted by 2003. The higher line over the ship canal has been closed and lifted much longer. I think there is still some well overgrown track in place on the Partington side leading down to Skelton junction near Altrincham.
Wow that's absolutely amazing. I live in Partington and always wanted to see what was up there. keep up the brilliant videos
Fantastic video Martin, great to see the crossover with Paul & Rebecca too, great folk to spend the day with. That Railway underpass was such a great find. The drone shots are great, might get one too 😃
Finding that underpass was brilliant !!
Very interesting martin, the subway was amazing. Looking forward to the next video x
Another quality video. I was never bothered about old railways but the way you shoot the video's and tell the history has got me hooked. I was looking into old station's and seen the old piccadilly station, I would love to get your take on it and find out what history you can dig up.. Apparently all the old track, stoppers, posters and ticket booths are there. If that's something you would consider.
Always enjoy your videos and evident love of Manchester. From Seattle and looking forward to visiting Manchester. And Thanks for introducing us to Whitewick's channel.
Thank you, yes they have a great channel
Finally got time to watch this. Great intro, imposing music for an imposing structure 👍🏻
On with it now..... 🎥
Just a few days ago, maybe even while you were there, I was driving past this viaduct and musing what an interesting structure to climb and abseil from. Nice video!
This was really wonderful! 👍 Love how you describe and tell the story, makes it so easy to follow along. Really well done Martin, thoroughly enjoying your videos! I've subscribed to Paul & Rebecca's channel! Thank you...take care!
Thank you 👍👍
Nice collaboration on the Cadishead - Partington line and what a treasure. Seeing the mix of the keystoned old line it was like Athens yet the platforms of Partington look like they were made yesterday and surreal to be overgrown. A lovely shot of Cadishead Station with a War Department "Austerity" locomotive. The line was dieselised quite early with d.m.u. enough for the traffic. I think the ex-CLC route had previously enjoyed the services of railmotors. A steam engine permanently coupled to a carriage which was fitted with a cab at the rear with brakes and regulator. The driver switched ends at the termination of the service whilst the fireman stayed on the locomotive. There was normally a giant gong over the cab in the coach. I know there was a service from Warrington Bank Quay (Low-level) to Stockport Tiviot Dale that traversed the CLC route using railmotors and am 60% sure the Partington line was equipped with them. There was considerable objection when public services were withdrawn and stations like West Timperley and Broadheath also lost their services.
Occasionally locals campaign to get it reopened. I think there are development plans for Carrington and Trafford Waters that would make services more viable and more environmental than adding to the road.
It is amazing how much nature takes over. With so many birch trees perhaps you should take a trowel for the truffles. In the credits you didn't acknowledge the Great Tit's voice-over when you where on the new bridge looking down at the plate-girder green bridge (old). That "teacher, teacher, teacher" sound means you weren't alone.
Mighty quest of that couple getting to the site of each disused station. Here in the North West were Beeching struck, but not just him, he takes the can but there were shut before and after him must be a labour of love. There are that many. I remember as a kid seeing Blackpool Central and Fleetwood stations you'd never guess they would shut. Fleetwood was a lovely LYR yellow brick station with covered walkway to the ships. My understanding was they were never on Beeching's plan for closure but the local councils wanted the land for development and let Beeching take the can. Politics eh🤔. I think Blackpool Central and Talbot Road (Blackpool North) had 23 platforms combined.
Thanks for the film.👍
What great little film I used to play around them old lines love the film it’s like a little walk in the country with nature shots keep up the good work
Thanks Brian, glad you enjoyed
Love the video. Amazing what history is just beneath the surface.
Great vid. Love the input of Paul and Rebecca, where their mission intersects with yours.Amazing how quickly nature reclaims engineering.As Sandy Denny once sang "Who knows where the time goes?"
Cheers Neil. 👍
This has become one of my favorite channels. Love your videos and tours!! I had no idea the underworld was like this until you
Thanks 👍🏼
Fantastic work Martin. The music, and the aesthetics of the intro are superb.
Another insite into our list heritage on the railways . Love these hidden gems been a Railway fan as you well know .
You make some great videos & find some surprising stuff
Fantastic Martin...I did not think that there was a story in this, but you have created another gem....Congratulation....Can't wait till next one.
Another great video Martin, quite poignant for me having grown up around Partington and then worked over the line before closure,sad that the viaduct and infrastructure left to rot away,but the so arches I guess will be around a long time yet, testimony to the workmanship of the period.I will watch this video many times while I'm still around as it evokes such good memories,many thanks. memories
Thank you Antony glad you enjoyed
Great video Martin, sad to see everything now when you see how it was. Thank you 👍
Brilliant Martin another super find, the engineering and the subway what a sight.
Very interesting video history I liked it very much keep up the good work I can't wait for your next video
