Hey Martin, my great-great-great-grandfather, Nicholas was a millwright who lived in Little Bolton, and Manchester, before sailing to America from Liverpool in 1834. In the 1530s my family lived in Whalley, during the period of time notorious for the dissolution of the monasteries by King Henry VIII. Obviously I am very interested in what you are woking on, so I want to thank you again. My ancestor Nicholas was born in 1798, and worked on the cotton mills my great-great-great-grandfather Henry Hughes owned southeast of Manchester. That relationship born 200 years ago is responsible for the son and daughter of these two men meeting, and later getting married in Rhode Island. Together James and Eliza headed to California in 1846, to seek their fortune north of what would become San Francisco. Me I live in the middle of the Sonoran Desert of Arizona where it will be 116 degrees today. Thanks Martin, you do a wonderful, masterful job of presenting your adventures.

It IS middle earth. The HEART Of the Chest of Man (Manchester) to the left of the backbone (Pennines) of the Angel land (England) Our history has been hidden and rewritten but the clues are all around us in the names of towns and streets and buildings. And pubs hotels and the sigils that adorn old municipal offices and buildings. There are many many tunnels beneath every town near me. Dungeons and conduits and bunkers and hidey holes. Are they still in use, absolutely. But there ain't no nuclear fallout coming so a critical mind would ask what or who is being hidden or kept down there

Who else gives Martin's videos a thumbs up before watching them? I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this. Thank you for making and posting such great videos, it's always a good day when I get a notification for a new one.

The craftsmanship in the stonework of these mills in incredible. It looks like those ruins could stand another couple hundred years. I would bet the gearworks you saw were not connected to a waterwheel, but rather opened/regulated wooden sluices that fed water to the wheel closer to the mill. The water wheel needed to drive leather belts to power the machinery, so close proximity to the machinery was essential.

What a wonderful valley packed with so much history! Can you imagine how many people were employed here? These little villages were self contained communities, the people didn't have to go outside the village for employment, and probably got everything they needed from local shops. Martin you deserve a medal or something for showing us the history that otherwise would be lost and forgotten! A fulling mill would have been used to wash and pound wool prior to being spun by wooden hammers driven by water wheels. There could have been another mill that made the wool into cloth or even clothing. Steam powered mills in Manchester eventually made water powered mills like these redundant as they didn't have to shut down in winter.

I don't ever remember seeing a chimney at coal bank, my memories only go as far back as mid-late 80's though.

We used to walk through Queens Park to the top road and down Ashy road through the caravan park and adventure up the river to the waterfall. Always via the cave. The lower path has mainly eroded away but there was one that followed the meandering water all the way up pretty much. Ive had some good times up there. A few of my friends jumped into the river off the waterfall in 1990 I swam under it but didn't jump off although I almost fell off it but my sister saved me.
