- The Village of Gambleside is or was situated between Rawtenstall and Burnley. Quite a lot of it was abandoned int he 1860's to build;d a new Reservoir. Bit by bit the rest of the village and outlying farms fell into disuse and are now nothing more then piles of stones on the Reservoir gathering ground.
However these farms have a story to tell and were once the homes of people who played a big part in Rossendale and Burnley History. We have a look at two of them today along with other remains of industry nearby
New subscriber here. Stunning scenery and great video. You also mentioned AC/DC and Motörhead (2 of my favourite bands!) God bless Pip. Seán, Cork, Ireland.
I walked up amd down Cat Steps every day to get to Fearns. My dad worked at Lower Mill and installed the clock in the tower you can still see in Rawtenstall, just about all that is left of the mill , now Asdas.
Nice video Clive. Sorry to hear about Pip ❤️

Hi Dave. CloughFoot Colliery was owned by the Deardens, the water treatment plant you talk about is from Cloughfoot Colliery.
Todmorden Moor Colliery is the only local colliery to Rossendale, except Burnt Hills to be mentioned in Lord Ashleys report of child labour in mines 1841. At that time I think it was on the opposit sode of Tod/Bacup rd to the observatory.
They then moved across the road to where the brickworks were, now observatory, you cam still see the walled up arched drift entrance on the access road.
The coal seam dipped away from the surface very steeply so to obtain maximum free drainage they drove long tunnels through baron rock to intersect the seam at a lower level and thats why Clough Foot was driven. I do have lots of info on those pits, I havent typed it up yet.
