2860 did not pull the royal train in 1939. That was a sister locomotive, 2850. 2860 wasn't built until 1940 and the royal visit was in 1939. 2850, I believe, is located in the railway museum in Delson, Quebec.

Nice one Dave. It's a few years since I last visited Chester - took some Russian friends to see the "balcony shops" which they found very interesting. All the best from an owd Gloddick Mouse.

Sorry but the pictures aren't of Agecroft shed. Terry Aird.

I remember travelling via the OAGB junction at Ashton in December 1984. When the line to Hadfield was converted from 1500 v DC in December 1984 they had to rebuild the junction for the Stockport line at Guide Bridge because the platforms it connected with were taken out of use at that time. As a result the Stockport - Stalybridge trains (still a regular service in those days) were, for a short time, rerouted to run from Denton Junction to Ashton (served in place of Guide Bridge) via OAGB Junction This was probably the last time that section of line saw regular passenger services.

Thankyou for this series of Videos...have enjoyed them.

Wicked guys! I’m from Derker and, my Uncle and brother lived on Glodwick Road. Mum used to work at Ferranti’s on Barry Street. Grandfather was a Lamplighter for Oldham Borough Council, and lived on Tennyson Street. I served an apprenticeship at Dronsfields, on Ashton Road. Fond memories. I’m 72 now. Thanks for the memories.

My 1st Pub that I ran was just up the Road "The Alexandria" in it it had pictures of some of the railwayman from The old stations and yard

Very well done that man!

It’s filthy dirty right now. There appears to be no upkeep by the city

Beautiful video thanks for uploading

My brother rented a garage off Mr. Lilley in Borehamwood Herts. my brother had built his son Martin a Lotus 7 from a kit. Ken tuned and took care of race rally cars his account ran an Austin Healy 3000 road car and a fully prepared AH3000 rally car, I sometimes joined him as a map reader in small events, more to check the car than win, great fun chasing a mini cooper around and going between gate posts sideways. Brother then took on a TVR dealership and at the same time took on the building of the last 37 Elva Couriers sports cars from Trojan. TVR were not doing so well and by chance Martin asked about getting a TVR and brother Ken warned him against it. Well over the next few months strange things happened as Ken caught a glimpse of Martins father at TVRs Blackpool. Long story short the Lilleys bought TVR and Martin became the manager/ director. Me I just plodded on with my MG Magnette and Mini Cooper S. I was employed driving tunnel boring machines for the London tube, working 8 hr. shifts so had time to pop over to Kens and drive a few hot cars. The company I worked for bought a fleet of Morris cars, vans and trucks for the projects, Morris Travelers, 5cwt. and 15 cwt vans and 5 ton flat beds. So thanks for putting up your video and reminding me of the good old days.

Fabulous

Awesome

Newton heath,another good shed to visit. Train from pendleton,change at victoria & onto dean lane station. Up the the lane a few hundred yards & over the road. We always found it a little difficult to get into. The staff weren't as obliging as agecroft. Great stuff,many thanks.

Hiya,you're right. My directory's say that as well but I can only remember that path leading to the slag heaps where we made a bike obstacle course,magic. The station btw was the only one that had all female staff and line is the man Vic to Wigan line. At about 4.30 pm the Glasgow express would go along it always pulled by a clan class loco. The main highlight of agecroft shed was that it had an eastern B1 Kudu loco based there,very unusual. The line at the side of where the shed used to be was the man Vic to Bolton and or bacup line. Bacup is long gone of course but the Bolton run still exists. Once again many thanks. More very happy memories.

Hiya,just watched your agecroft piece. Lots of memory's. I'm afraid tho you were no where near the shed. When you came out from under the bridge you turned far too soon. Should have kept straight on for about a 1000 yards. That would have taken you to the old canal bridge. The cinder path started there. In the 50 & 60s you'd have passed the scrapyard. Lots of what we called coffee pots. Spent a lot of time there. Happy days.

Cheers! Did this way, WAY BACK as a teenager in the early 80s, with a couple o'mates ........... I'd have likely been in the Sixth Form then, Dave. Best regards!

Watched your video boys great stuff lots of memories but you didn't say your names I must know you Rod Illing😅😅😅

You know, those guys could probably beat the Latics. I used to get in lots of trouble because as an Oldhamer I supported Liverpool. I managed to live through it though. 😁

Good video

The commentary at the start of this video is incorrect. The video starts at Arthur’s Lane where the railway emerged from the cutting behind Carr Lane in Greenfield. It then went over a single overbridge before continuing over an embankment. The railway then cossed over another single overbridge at Chew Valley Road before crossing over another small embankment which then formed and ran into the first of two viaducts across the valley, linking the Friezland part of Greenfield with the rest of Greenfield. Friezland station was at the top of another embankment or hill, and it was in between both viaducts. The railway then crossed the second viaduct and went into the goods yard at Friezland before leaving Greenfield and heading into Mossley via the tunnel at the Royal George junction.

We're glad you enjoyed our event! We have more to offer in terms of rides on vintage equipment throughout the year so we hope to see you again! The mini train that folks were riding is 7 and 5/8 inch gauge, and BC-21 is our Budd RDC that folks can ride. 😊

You've gone the extra mile for that shed bash Dave! Pitty there wasn't more locos to see.

Thanks for sharing <3

I was waiting for something like this!! You could get more fans with S M Zeus!!!

That was the entrance to the toilets what was bricked off on on Huddersfield to Oldham Road not the station

Cheers Dave - or should I call you Dai as you're in Wales? Ha! Short but sweet today - nice one. Many thanks from a Gloddick Mouse now living in The Rhondda.

My grandfather Elias Hilton lived at 115 Brompton st he died in 1963 while my father Mark was out in Australia working The house still had gas lights a Yorkshire range in the kitchen a slopstone sink and a tippler toilet We lived at 29 Brompton st

Micklehurst Station was used as a shop when I lived in Micklehurst in the early 80s

Hi! I found you through Megan's channel. Love you and Megan‼️♥️♥️♥️💜💜👋👋I am new here.

Well done, that man!

Crack on Dave!

I found this really interesting, I was born on Brompton St in 1957 and played on Glodwick lows many times. I recall many of the families who lived on Brompton St such as the Brocks, Talbots, Simpsons (our neighbours) the Druggets just further up and the Taylors, myself and my brothers all went to Alexander Park school and played in the park we also used to go to Glodwick baths, happy days living there 😊

👍

I remember walking to the shed via that path back in 1964. No steam that I recall but lots of 33s.

Its Stockport Georgians not Gregorians you miopic tit.

Behind the Lucas Terrace Halt was a hand operated turntable - not long enough for turning Bullied Light Pacifics, which had to turn using the triangle shown in the initial diagram. Also behind the Halt was a large raised rectangular water reservoir which could be accessed by ladders which were often climbed by local kids in the area much to the worry of local parents!. Health and Safety was non-existent back then. just to the east of the water tower were banks on which there were many chicken coops! There was also an underground air raid shelter just to the left and west of the shed looking towards Friary. Played there many times as a kid!

Wow, it was far less commercial and controlled back in the '70s when I went there as a young un. It's still as awesome as it was then though. Nice video.

This old line should be converted into a walkway and cycle path.

Up the kiddy great fans

And keep active 💪💪💪💪

Coming back down from the bridge is better then going back up to the bridge 💪😁 great footage I left Oldham ages ago ..was that not James Briggs at the beginning.takd them gooseberry home they wil be be the best things to eat not full of pesticides x thank you for sharing

i play for broadheath u8s

Hi there was a Battersea station on the Clapham to Willesden Junction line

Cheers David.

Cheers David. I've walked that path a few times in the past and never realised it was an old trackbed. Doh! Used to walk from The Knoll mill to The Moorlands youth centre many years ago. Best wishes from South Wales.

How many memories did this bring back! I was born and raised on Latimer Street in 1959. Attended Alexandra Park infants and juniors followed by Greenhill then Hathershaw. Spent many a happy hour on Glodwick lows including many climbs up and down the goat path. Very happy days.

Thanks for sharing!

The English countryside in May, still no finer place anywhere in the world. Vancouver was a nice city, but like many in North America it's on the decline.

Haven't visited Oldham since 78-79 but from videos it's changed an awful lot. Alenxandra Park seems much like it did, that was the posh part, a fine Victorian Park.
