Another good one to look at Alan if you get time is the old soapworks line in irlam ,ran next to the ship canal. Brilliant video of Partington gas works ,looking forward to watching this one now 😀
One has to ask why we decimated the railway system in Britain other than to provide land for housing and road transport. Labour, the party of the worker supposedly, had their mitts in all of this.
Fantastic history cheers ☕️
Air raid shelter is an Anderson shelter..it was next to rofton munition factory and Hooton runway

Brilliant video
You mentioned Birkenhead Woodside. That was a station I went to lots until they closed the line.
As always absolutely amazing captures there mate it's shocking to still find remnants left even if you have to look in the shrubbery
Hi, just to say that Hooton Station had 7 platforms, and the old waiting room was on platform 7. Platform 1 was a Bay for the Branch Line to Helsby.
love the video, the history and info provided. Thank you
