My late father worked the signal box at Siddick and Northside. I have taken a ride in the guards van from North Side box to RNAD Broughton Moor. Good memories for me ! Thank you for sharing.
Pencil factory, Soap factory, Chocolate factory all just memories now. Some great sounding names in that neck of the woods . Cleator and Marsh on, just a couple. Workington Flar Bottom Rail. Carried enough of that in my time. 👍😁
Thanks for posting this. What makes it special for me, is the accent. probably a thousand years of history behind it, all the way back to the Norse settlers of this region. My local accent is of Danish descent but sadly is fading much too fast.
My house in Northside backed onto the cutting further down towards the Derwent. It's a nice footpath and long-distance cycle track now. Good for walking Northside's "High-Speed Dogs" (retired Greyhounds from the nearby kennels). Obviously we would prefer a railway; but if it had to go, then it's left something worthwhile behind it.
Brilliant video - I moved down South from Maryport when I was 5 in 1967 My mam told me when I was born I lived in old Northside - Im not sure if the houses behind the church in your video at 12 mins 8 seconds are Old Northdside (I would love to see video footage of Northside ) My grandad and dad all worked at Siddick pit and I can only find one photo of the colliery
Hi there I think old northside was across the road long since gone probably ran alongside the Workington to cockermouth line I do have another video on here that the videographer also narrates and mentions old northside are you on Facebook? You could join the old Workington groups that’s on there, there is some fantastic photos and locals on there with some interesting history
@@mickbeeee consider joining facebook mate you are missing out on a lot of gems all my videos have been shared on the Workington site, here’s the link for the northside one

Fascinating video of what we have had and lost and perhaps now need. Thank you very much indeed.

Still got our much treasured shots of WORKINGTON STEEL marked flats through Preston in the 90s.
Superb video. Really interesting old line with a great commentary. 👍
That was absolutely superb. Many thanks for posting.
Priceless footage, thanks for sharing 👋
