Brilliant as always 👍 Skew bridge is at the Liverpool end of Rainhill station platform. It’s grade II listed & built using sandstone from the local quarry. It’s the first skew road bridge over a railway in the world & was also a first for the 34 degree angle it was built (hence the name ‘skew’).
You forgot to mention the first railway accident happened on the same day as the Rainhill Trials. There is a monument to Thomas Huskisson who sadly died after being hit by Rocket, just east of Parkside Rd[A573] near Newton le Willows. It can only be seen from the train and only really clearly in winter. Unless you have a drone of course....
a paul boulton defiant crashed not far away from st annes well :) the engine was never found i wonder which farmers barn it ended up in or likely scrapped when the link way was put in glad to see you out and about kieren
Also the Liverpool astronomical society is the oldest in the world. There's also two big reservoirs dug out of the sandstone in the same area right behind the observatory. Good to see you back and I love the tunes. A couple of my friends got pulled up on the observatory car park some years back. They also used to go there to smoke fags😁
Great video, great music, great voice. Best wishes Pete. PS I just wondered if you received my donation a couple of weeks ago. I'm don't know if it went through. If it didn't I send it again.
How good is this 😊
Fascinating local history very well researched
Well done Mr Bimble
Good stuff pal.👍🚴

@@peterkilvert2712 did you donate through here or kofi? :)
I wonder is Glazebrook in Warrington named after Glazebrook Rylands? Probably.
I think it might be the opposite way around. :)
Opposite St Barts Church was Loyla Hall which has fascinating history too. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainhill_Hall
