- Heasandford Revisited Nov 2018....Last visited in 1945 as a 9 year old kid, many changes have taken place over the intervening 72 years. This area of Burnley still remains an outstanding area of natural beauty.....Well worth a visit plus it has some excellent walks and lot's of history of our industrial past.
Brilliant I spent many years playing in the river and I also what coal pick up on the slang heap that was from bankhall pit, had good times up their when i was a kid thanks for your video.
Hey up Joe you must be like me.....knocking on a bit now!!..happier days remembered....not like today's society....Best regards, Alan
Great video, very informative. I'm always poking around the local area trying to come across bits of history. This helped a lot. Nothing better than information direct from someone who was actually there. Do more videos!! 👍🙂
Sorry, I missed this and it's over 1 year ago!!!!....My sincere apology for not responding sooner....Many thanks for your comments, I am knocking on a bit now so the legs don't work as good but another area of Burnley I do remember very well is under the railway arches where there used to be an Abattoir...I might just visit see what remains of the buildings and of course, my memories....Best wishes, Alan.
Thanks 👍
Cheers Alan.
Brilliant.
Brilliant thank you 👍
Of all the changes over all the years.....this remains the same.....brilliant.
Put more down. Everything you know. It's magic.
I remember a canal barge at the far end of Heasandford Lake....I made a little video showing where it was but I had no response at all from that one....I may do another.....best regards. Alan.
Thanks for your efforts and making this video, very well done aswell! Brilliant to see footage and a knowledge of an area i know so well. You`ve answered a few ponderings ive had about what used to be. its kinda hard getting first hand knowledge about such a local subject from a time ago. would be good to see more stuff about burnleys history. cheers again
Your comment made the video worth while making.....so much has changed over the years but there are still one or two remnants that would be worth a little video....as we get older the long term memory gets hightened.....hhmmm might have a go under the railway arches where the abattoir and gas works used to be near the now famous "Magic Roundabout"
......Happy days.....Thank you.
@@mixwizard2310 that would be good too, like i said any knowledge of the past local area is interesting and quite sparse on youtube, so would be great to see more of it..
Yes - I too have first hand knowledge of these locations as well as the coke works, The Locomotive from Burnley Corporation Gas Works is on display at Bury Transport Museum..Best regards, Alan.
Covid has put a dampner on many things but another trip to a well known spot could be on the cards now that restrictions are lifting. Thanks for your comment...Alan.
