Such a shame it's gone, all for the sake of housing

I've been in this tunnel quite a few times in the 70s - attempted to climb through the collapse but chickened out 😅😅

Pretty sure that there was a diagram for a class 104 DMU working, Manchester, potteries loop line, Stoke, Cheadle .

Great footage Knapp.👌

Recorded with the internal mics?

Incredible. One of the most dangerous ones along with Bolsover & Burdale

Wow I love it

Mind truly blown....and my day truly made! I found this video by chance when searching as I do from time to time hoping to find anything about the old Cheadle railway and in particular the sand wagon trains which last used the line because I have vivid memories as a child of age 5 of hanging around in the station watching the train working. On one very special occasion I will never forget, the train driver actually allowed me in the cab whilst the locomotive was moved from one end of the sand wagon train to the other and he even showed me the controls and allowed me push the lever to move the engine!, how thrilled was I at only 5 years old! so that memory was forever firmly etched in my mind (hence I find myself searching Cheadle Railway some 45 years later) Well...amongst the collection of photos at the start showing the sand wagon train photos, I darn near fell out of my chair when at 2 minutes 9 seconds into the video I see a picture showing the then 5 year old me sat on the platform beside the train passing time. It was like the image had literally been plucked from my minds eye and I would say the photo was most likely taken on the very same day that the train driver let me help move the train! I moved to Ireland about 2 years later in 1979 where I have lived ever since and I will be 50 next month July 2023. My mind is well and truly blown, what are the odds of someone taking a photo which you are in and entirely by chance you find it some 45 years later? Magic stuff and thank you @Knappist for putting this content up!

I remember steam at Cheadle Heath when I was three. I got asthma because of all the smoke.

The quality is not that good but an interesting bit of archive footage

What uses a spring like that? It looks fairly light duty which is what I'm looking for for this project 👍

Thanks very much for that. I worked there from 1984 for 18 years, what a place! But, for Marling Insulations....

The old Allotments in Cheadle Staffordshire gone but not forgotten 🥲

Cool

Interesting video! Cresswell looks very different now!

Thansk for this, i lived in tean for 20 years, excellent photos

I worked there in the early 80s .

Interesting archive footage!

Suprisingly diabolical selection of 'hymns' for a church like this. Poor organist if he has to play that stuff every week!
