    The A663 or Broadway as we locals call it, was originally built in the 1930s to connect the A671 Oldham Road at Royton, to the A62 Oldham Road in Failsworth, to make it quicker and easier to get to and from Manchester to Royton/Shaw/Rochdale areas. Great video Jon, hope you enjoyed Tandle Hill Park.

    Small point with a tenuous transport connection, specifically while the northwest processed cotton, the northeast was all about wool. This is because cotton was grown in the Americas and shipped over via Liverpool. Yorkshire was further away which made shipping raw cotton too expensive and had great water more suitable for processing wool. The packhorse routes, canals then railways across the pennines were only really used for fetching lancastrian fleeces for processing and exportation of finished cloth.

    • @alanwoodhead5321
      @alanwoodhead5321 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I understand that the atmosphere on the west of the Pennines is more suitable for producing cotton woven products because it is more humid. The prevailing winds are from the west and when they rise they cause moisture and rain to form. Hence east of the Pennines are less humid which is better for producing wooden goods.

    The roundabout at the end of what google erroneously calls the A627(M) is somewhat confusing.
    It has three exits all of which are marked A664 on the roundabout. Not much help if you are looking for the A664 exit.
    Bing Maps calls the roundabout (and just the roundabout) the A644 - another map trap or the shortest circular A road?.
    The sign for the exit to the A627(M) has more left brackets than right brackets so wasn't proof read before being printed, unless it really does go to the A627(M

    • @nowster

      The A664 connects also to the Slattocks spur, and splits twice: to meet the A58 at Sudden, to pass the northern end of the A627(M) and meet the A58 again north of Tesco, and finally it meets the A58 a third time on the far side of Rochdale.
      The original A627 routing was from Ashton to Rochdale along the route of the current A671. For about fifteen years after the motorway was open they coexisted.

    The A627(M) at junction 2 where you got the Slattocks link road that is part of the A627(M). That small motorway could have been renumbered as the A664(M) Slattocks link road. And yes the A627(M) would have had a flyover that would have gone over M62 at junction 3 at Kirkholt Interchange (south of Rochdale).
    The A627(M) acts like a small expressway linking Rochdale and Oldham and avoiding Slattocks village where the A664 passes through. I was thinking if the A627(M) could have been renumbered as the A664(M) or maybe re-classified as the M627 or M664 Motorway.

    I kid you not, only yesterday myself and my family were making mundane trip on the A31 in our Toyota Auris 1.6 Estate when our son asked if there were traffic lights on a motorway. I suggested we reach out to you, given your subject matter expertise on the topic and loandbehold, not even 24 hours later, here we are.

    Fantastic stuff! Bogus road numbers? Intellectual property dramas? Traffic lights on (barely contains disbelief) a roundabout that bisects a motorway? A big lump of concrete with a playgroundesque reference to the suspected inferiority of a madcap dictator-in-all-bit-name’s manhood? Done deal on all counts! How on earth do you do it? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔 💡 Worth the licence fee alone ironically enough 🤣😂😅 Cheers John 💚🍀🍷👍

      It's to avoid erosion problems for the footpath. It's actually quite clever and a low cost solution because of lots of children in the area.

    Pre transporter days I did a lot of foodsftuffs from factory to supermarket distribution centres, I used to spend so long on Stakehill waiting to unload at the craphole depots for 3 in particular I could easily end up on a night out and it was only a 90 minute trip from the yard to the estate. Don't get me started on the inability folk have to read the (not) teeny weeny lane markers and traffic lights at the roundabout. If only they were slightly bigger and the lights a bit brighter I'd have a 30 year accident free record to my name.

    Yes like Scott mentions below, when junction 4 was built as a roundabout originally, it cut off the Rochdale canal. It allowed the water through but not barges. When they did the canal up for leisure barges, they remade the junction into a crossroads with lights, building it higher with a tunnel to allow the barges through.

    Nice trig point. 4:15 The little window near the bottom is for a ''flush bracket attachment''. For more info see, How do trig points actually work on yt.
