Wow! Kieran this is one of your best. Love your videos, so informative.,I grew is Stockton Heath.. The MSC was at the bottom of my street. My aunt lived in Northwich and I am old enough to have gone to Pickmere in its heyday. I never knew about the salt mines and the salt industry. I live in Toronto now and I love watching your videos.

Another belter, best wishes for your birthday!

We miss your videos hope you're all ok , love them all

happy birthday, and another great bimble.

Wow, Visited the are several times myself, that brought back memories. Only tried to perambulate the velocipede once through Darkie Tunnel. Walked it after that! (ha ha). All the best for your birthday and do let us know if you receive a coracle shaped wrapped present! Always enjoy your music.

I do love a viaduct...and to be spoilt by an aqueduct...thanks so much Kieran..top Bimble as always..

Its viaduct country round there. :)

Very well done young man!

Really enjoyed that, thanks, it’s such a lovely route to cycle. The abbey on the hill is actually a castle, but it always looks like a church, looking up from town. There are better views of it further along the A5, where it looks proper castle-ish. (There is an Abbey just outside Llangollen, though, very picturesque. We’ve got it all going on!) Loved the video, defo going to follow the channel :-)

A brilliant Video Kieran, we have spent many happy holidays in and around Llangollen, I know you like information about the places you Bimble! so here is a item that happened in 1945 on the road into Llan, Early on the morning of 7th September 1945, a section of the canal around Sun Bank Halt burst its banks, washing away the adjacent railway embankment but leaving the track suspended in mid-air. With the signalmen unaware that anything was wrong, because the telegraph cables were unaffected, the first train the following morning arrived at the location before the damage was discovered. Early on the morning of 7th September 1945, a section of the canal around Sun Bank Halt burst its banks, washing away the adjacent railway embankment but leaving the track suspended in mid-air. With the signalmen unaware that anything was wrong, because the telegraph cables were unaffected, the first train the following morning arrived at the location before the damage was discovered. GWR 2-6-0 Mogul No. 6315, hauling the 3.35am Down mail and parcels train from Chester to Barmouth (the first train of the day), fell into the breach, killing the driver. The fireman miraculously escaped. The ensuing fire destroyed much of the train, although the guard was lucky enough to escape alive. On descending from the brake van, he dropped his detonators and then could not find them in the darkness. The walked back all the way to Trevor Station where the following train was held at the signal. Here he was greeted with “why haven’t you cleared the section?” The locomotive itself was beyond recovery and dismantled / cut up on site, the remains of the wagons being removed or buried in the earthwork repairs. The full accident report is available to view for free using the following link: [rb.gy/x1ihum](rb.gy/x1ihum) (intentionally shortened) and goes into great detail about the events leading up to the accident and the subsequent recovery and repair efforts. #heritagematters See less

Another Great Bimble as always

penblwydd hapus for Monday Keiron

You do know you are going to have to publish the Big Book of Bimble….

Great video, on my home town. if i knew before hand, Could of told you the Aqueduct was closed off 😂😂Its been drained. Its Castle Dinas Bran on the hill, The views are stunning from up there, Even better ones from just behind it from the Panorama mountain as its known..Yes you really need to return soon, So much to see in Llangollen & surrounding areas.. Happy Birthday too

Pity there,s no rail connection to Llangollen. The heritage rly line used to run to Wrexham, how short sighted to axe it Mr Beeching!

A Happy bimbling birthday Keiran. Enjoyed that jaunt to Llangollen, pity the viaduct was closed. That was some miles you covered by the end of the day! Cheers. (Al Kennett)

Happy birthday wishes

Great video Kieran, you didn’t mention anything about the railway lines at the canal basin, I wondered if they were used for coal/slate deliveries to the working boats at the time....best regards .

They werent standard guage so i assumed they where for shifting stuff around. Could be for coal. :)

You must have been in my garden to film that very first shot, looking down the railway lines towards Chirk station!

Yes I know - that half of the bridge IS in my garden! No worries, we allow all the trainspotters in when a steam loco is coming through. @@BimblismUK

Rather a narrow road! That's our drive - the road goes past the side of the garden. The railway goes under both, and the canal diagonally under that, through the darkie tunnel, which you weren't brave enough to go through....@@BimblismUK

How do you spell Bimble in Welsh? get your tongue around that one lol

Could you add the name of your songs to the video description please?

I'll give it a look later. :)

If you want a coricle, there's a guy called Les who does coricle building classes in clanglocklen 😂 if you want to pronounce the "Ll" put your tongue against the roof of your mouth and hiss like a snake with a lisp, then roll into the normal L sound thlllaangothllen 😆👍

Good tip. :)

Your video just triggered an old forgotten memory of mine. I used to love watching Adam Hart Davis' Local Heroes TV series when I was a kid. I haven't thought about those for about 30 years. kzread.info/head/PLN0SomhBLdLpomcKC68AXwiZVCsZP0dSn&si=imvypMXqT21rDXxX
