I've now watched most of your films, and to be honest with your editing and production talent combined with your r passion for past northern heritage, bit of spit and polish and you could quite easily have a tv concept! ( Fred did it) do it , the stone roses meets kingdom Brunel. Loving it
Thankyou very much gareth that comment means an awefu lot man' all'though I couldnt see myself grafting for the BBC, I could give the top hat and cigar a go lol.
I used to work in there when it was gus. I was in mill 1, worked on ground floor and 2nd floor I think it was. I wasnt there too long but I really enjoyed it. A proper bunch of characters. We handled the heavy goods returns.
This is one of the best Urban Explore videos I've ever seen. Really respectful and the old pictures spliced in to add context were a lovely touch. I lived on Crescent Road facing the beehive some years ago, back when it was part of the Great Universal Group. Loved this video and will definitely be watching more. Well done, chaps.
Thank you Marc glad to have you on board brother!
Thanks mate for another great vlog, I know that it was Littlewoods for many years but part of it was something to do with Royal Mail but I may be wrong, the huge tank was the header tank for the sprinkler system and when you first went in was the pumping system for the sprinklers which looked in pretty good nick and relatively modern for that size of building. All the best Stevie
Cheers Stevie and yeah an ex employee told me it was pretty much mint condition man as is a lot of the stuff we stumble across!
Rip the mill it's getting knock down we all probably all had some good times in the mill
Well at least we captured it on film eh man! The end if an era...
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt wow you was quick to reply lol
@@coaster_lewis Clocked it pop up on ma phone man!
That was really good that!
Superb that, passed it a dozen times on my bike and twice almost crashed looking at the size of the place, I love the fancy little lodges at the front, it would make stunning accommodation if someone had the money and vision 👍
Yeah, I agree m8 however I fear the only accommodation going there will be on its remains...
Thank you so much for doing these videos Britain has so much history but it is going unnoticed, but people like u are keeping it alive x
Thanks Fay!
Worked in that Mill for a few years but left 18 years ago. Seeing it again brought back memories. Sad to see it like that as I remember how it was spotlessly clean and always warm and dry, a great environment to me after working outside in all weathers for years. I hear it's all gone now, typical that town planners show little respect for heritage. Nice job with the video fella.
Yep unfortunately it's been demoed for utter s#!te housing.
And yes I can imagine it back then and even further back to be honest.
One of my favouruite finds ever is the old night watchmans quarters in part two!
Wow, 1st bit was like..... Oh its been done up at some point probably for the shop direct and then..... Wow your in the real history... Amazing work mate, thank you for sharing these explores I really appreciate it clarky 👍✌️
Cheers m8 I think the old Night watchmans quarters in part two is mty favourite part to the this one and my lord it looks incredible in 16mm black and white and totally uncut ;)
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt 😜 looking forward to watching it in glorious B&W clarky mate 🙏 your doing great.
gutted its gone now always wanted to explor it when i was a little kid but its gone now im gutted a piece of my history is gone forever any only captured in these videos, thabks for capturing this 💕
Your welcome m8 thank you.
The way you say wow makes me chuckle. Like Owen Wilson. WOW!
Lol
absolutely brilliant mate! Humongous place!
My laptop has died so watching on big telly on sky box. Looks bloody awesome on 50inch telly, even down to 480p. Fantastic footage and editing brother. Great work.
I'm very happy to hear that dude thanks Kenny it's good to know the quality remains after upload!
It was yodel distribution centre before it closed, my friend worked there.
Easy bro, just recently come across your channel and can't get enough of it. I'm from Bolton and some of the things in your videos as amazed me. So thanks my mate and keep up the good work.
Welcome aboard brother glad you found us and I really appreciate the feedback man!
Bringing life to our history is mad good.. you folk rule
Much appreciated brother!
CHERRY ON THE CAKE 👍 👍 👍 The only abandoned mills you get to see now mostly in are in Lancashire, oldham, Scotland, Coventry (Cash's Cotton) foundaries all disused, so this is absoloutely stuff of PURE GOLD. Love that tank, probably built by Titanic ship builders and I think the chimneys might be Jute that spat out chemicals but WOW what a Vlog - feel guilty not yet joining and donating but I will once my pay comes in as these expeditions are priceless!
M8 your viewership is all that's anything else is a bonus and I trully appreciate it. I'm not in it for money if I was the filns would be garbage I genuinely want to leave a legacy of great films for future generations to see what was and maybe wake a few up along the way so that we don't continue to take things for granted. Thanks very much m8 I really appreciate you and your fantastic comments and attention to the details. Cheers. Clarky
Check out Queens mill burnley a must see working mill ,just up you're street, take some ear defenders .👍🤣🤘😎
Il look into that pal!
Good venue for that lockdown party👌
Demoed brother!
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt Same spot but in the open air then🙈
@@daveglynn748 Lol
Mint mate
Hi Clarky, the big tank at the start of the vid is most likely a huge water tank for the sprinkler system.
Yeah it is m8 thanks an ez employee confirmed for us cheers m8!
Brilliant and big explore mate. Always intense and love the samples you Chuck in too 👍
Cheers dude much appreciated man!
brilliant work, cheers, enjoyed watching, be careful.
Fantastic Boys, Great editing , top video of Bee Hive Mill.
Thank you dude!
Glad you're documenting these great old places before they're torn down and forgotten. Spectacular job you guys. I'll be watching part 2 tomorrow.
Oh, nice one Ian much appreciated m8! If you'll enjoy the ending or part two dude some pretty cool views indeed my friend!
I really hope not, I hope this beautiful piece of history can be saved.
Brilliant video, thank you
Cheers Martin.
Thanks for this - mmm its must be a 'thing' to always look down into the toielts.. great vid keep them coming
Lol just curious as to whether there are any artifacts!
Used to work security had to walk round this place regularly did plenty of exploring myself scary place at night mate haha
Yeah, I can imagine m8!
The Urban Collective same with Stretford memorial hospital Doing Security has its perks I suppose..
I lived near the mill on Crescent road never went in but have been on the roof a real shame to see it go was a real landmark for the area.
25:00 that 'little thing with wheels' is a conveyor belt.
Hi clarky fantastic video used to go here with my late mum it was kays Catolog shop i think to see it now like this is sad ( well before it was demolished) but with your empathy it made me feel like it was very appreciated Thankyou once again brother
Nice one dude Im glad you feel that way. I do like to think that places like this should be remembered and that every person is worth some kind of recognition eh. Tha ks for the comment m8 tk care.
The Urban Collective really appreciate it X.. and also .. one of the last places my mum went to with my uncle Michael was building I could not believe my eyes when you found that news paper metro news august 4th 1994 .. in spa mill , that was the very day he died .. so incredibly spooky and I don’t know why but I feel you was meant to pick up that paper for me to see at least.
Loving all your videos
@@michae13james10 I believe that too m8. Thanks for the feedback m8 it means a lot that does.
Shop Direct have or did have 3 sites in GM. Briar mill in Shaw which deals with distribution,site in Little Hulton which is distribution again i believe and Raven Mill in Chadderton which deals with returns. Last time i heard they wer closing the Shaw and Little Hulton sites and moving distribution to a site in Derby.
The big tank you were looking at at the start is for water storage for the sprinkler system that’s in almost every bit of video. You walked past the pumps when you first went in.
Oh brilliant cheers for that m8!
There was a tunnel running from the bosses house to the mill. His house was at the end of the street more or less on the corner with green Lane. The tunnel ran underground all the way to his office they are knocking Newbury Mill down in Farnworth at the moment. Try to do a video of that I’ve already done one on my channel but probably not as good as the videos you do. 😂
Cheers m8 Il look into that one!
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt it will be knocked down very soon though pal possibly weeks 👍
I live where it was now behind the old gate
great video pal i used to deliver mattresses there lol
Haha no way man thanks for watching dude part two will be out tommorrow!
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt looking forward to to it pal
Its gone now! Only the gate house building remains
Bench 25.18 I think would be for maintenance of leather belts which turned the machines. Could be for repair or making of spindles though.
Aww cracking cheers for the heads up m8!
Great video bro I'm from Bolton myself and we went there to film today but unfortunately they wouldn't allow us on site now as they were demoliting it as we were there. I'm gutted we didn't get to go inside and film but thanks to ur video I can see what it was like so cheers for that it's much appreciated
Oh nice one man thanks for commenting and yeah sorry you didnt get to see it brother but there are plenty more out there m8. I must admit though that gaff was pretty special.
When did u go and film there bro
The Urban Collective I managed to get in beehive sat just gone and film there and then I took my mate Sunday just gone and filmed again for the last time in there its absolutely gutted bro
The thing with the wheels is home made so could be used for anything the only reason I can tell is it’s made of dexion material. Brilliant video going to watch pt 2 tomorrow.
Cheers Nicola, I appreciate that m8 and it feels good to see i have people who regularly watch too.
Found u via Aaron's urban exploring. Top vids. U got in places I had intended to visit but didn't have it together...
Thanks for taking me places I thought I had missed.
Your more than welcone pal and yeah Arons a good lad were ment to going for a mooch at some point I. Sure we'll figure it out man.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt I am a bit of a local history nerd. Know a bit about industrial stuff but my area of obsession is prehistory,Druidry, etc.
If ever u want explore some of that let me know.
@@alfiekay4808 Is that like ancient lay lines etc? I heard that some of the buildings I've visited are architecturally designed to harbour energy!
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt yeah they may well be. Not watched all your stuff yet.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt some wealthy local occultists have chosen certain places certain designs for sure.
Three breaking it down
?
How did Bolton Council get a Grade 2 lised building demolished?? The old boys network in Westminster , money talks 😢 My dad worked iin the offices .
Wanted to have a mooch round here before it got dropped. My mum used to work here years ago when it was GUS-great universal stores & Kay's little woods en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUS_(retailer)
Gone now
hey always talk about all the mills in bolton the damp weather is good for spinning i hear but never talk about cotton production in england is it all imported or grown locally
5.12 water tank for sprinkler system, GUS Eccles (sister site) had two
Quality cheers m8!
All gone now, so much for it being a listed building.
Yup... Sad eh pal.
The Urban Collective
Very sad, it was such a nice building. Insight I’ll miss driving around Bolton, especially when you see what as become of the site.
You do some excellent videos, well impressed with your efforts to keep the the past industrial heritage alive.
@@MrKevingoodridge Tank Kevin I appreciate that pal although now its more than just industrial heritage its heritage in general man. Take care pal.
I literally live next to it
Yes Lad what is your name
@@reece_is_here-_-5509 I know you init you go harper green
fred prolly knocked the top off of the chimbley
You know, all I could think of when, in your intro, you said how cool it'd have been to work theere - all I could visualise was the clock, and your card and being aif houred, or more, or less, and being made to wait int canteen til one became permitted or validated to commence by't works foreman. Effin hated them days.
Telya what (as a suggestion, ok), fk Argos or whoever the later tenants wor of this old mill, perhaps its the images of the original mill workers th oughta be seeking, backing tracks don't arf suit pal.
Nice one.
This place ended its life as a storage and distribution centre for Littlewoods Catalogue.
Pulled down to put up poxy boxes that probably won't last out their mortgages. Sad that our heritage can be bought so cheaply when it's being protected by people who don't understand it's value. Anywhere else and the Beehive mill would have been turned into flats.
No question m8!
No question m8!
0:22 I live in one of those bottom house shit u not it looks like similar to were I live
You my brother as i all ways go in their and other abandoned places as well
I live 5mins away from this mill

The day I went in their pcso was their and the popo as well lol
Lol
Is it still abandoned? I live in Bolton so im super close. its 30mins away from where i live.
Demoed m8.
Both mills have now been demolished.
Yeah I saw m8 went past few weeks back It looked like they were saving the gatehouse then but not sure if they did.
your grade 2 listed building ....i.e. the Beehive Mill is no more.... Demolished quite recently to make way for...I don't know what..Very sad..
Not mine Will Im just a w3ary traveller. It belonged to the people of Bolton the people who built it worked it and watched it die over the decades... I think its an absolute Joke whay they've done I mean its not as if was fallling down. I wonder if theyll save any of it?
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt nothing saved... it's all gone... one of only a few left in Bolton.
Houses, over 150 houses
I should turn all that into flats so shouldn’t put it down it’s listed to
Demoed now m8!
I went there today all windows the smashed
No doubt m8!
Its half gone now
Reece_is_here-_- : Bout allem bricked up eyes to the sky.... Wonder why ¿?
Liking your explores dude, keep up the amazing work. if your up for a collaboration whenever you're down my neck of the woods, give me a shout.
Yeah man no worries pal much appreciated!
They are going to make some houses and a Tesco here
Oh yeah cheers for that m8 I bet it looks weird for those whove lived on that road a long time not having it looming over them anymore eh
Hafsah Asif Just like everywhere else those land speculators hover over then L a n d upon.
Exce fkin lent!!
Lol cheers brother. We return for part and then if you look a few years later I managed to pull of a part three too ;)
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt I’m all over it!👍
Where’s part 3?😳
@@markwall6651 Here you go pal th-cam.com/video/p_UEL8z5tfo/w-d-xo.html
Sadly the demolition crew have now moved in on this place.
Yeah I heard that this morning m8 gonna look weird without that monster on the skyline eh!
Ano yea. Sad times, be nice if they restored this stuff. I would of loved to of got in but only heard of it around 2 weeks ago, we spoke to the crew see if we could go in today and even get a giuded tour but they said no.
Btw absolutely amazing videos youve made.
@@41111Danny Thanks m8 I really appreciate that and yrah shame you couldnt get in man there are plenty of abandonments left though m8!
All destroyed now
Yeah Ive seen m8 pretty sad to be honest looks like we caught it just in time man...
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt every time i go past on the way to cadets or BWFC matches a little more has gone, all for more houses SMH
I know m8 I remember when Burnden went too used to live down in Bolton man and allways been around it since an early age unfortunately though theres a lot more to come...
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt shite ain't it
Is this place still accessible?
Couldnt tell ya m8?
The Urban Collective I’m going tomorrow so guess I’ll find out
Blacksmiths? 28.00
Possibly I hope you got to see part two there was an old night watchmans quarters which was my personal favourite part.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmItsometimes people call it different things. I know many local special places. Burial grounds, stone monuments, carved stones, etc.
too much drama there Herlado
