@ludocrat It's just that some people just age faster than others

28? Pull the other one, it's got peat on it! Seriously, though, did people age faster in those days or just look more grown-up? Mind you, my dad (who's 70 this year) said he doesn't remember ever being a teenager. It didn't exist in the 1950s. You were in shorts and then suddenly you were a sort of junior grown-up and then, when you hit 18, you were just, well, a man.
I, on the other hand, still behave like teenager. Should be ashamed of myself - and building motorways.

Interesting video. If the weather was an almost constant problem and the Pennine terrain extremely difficult why wasn't a twin tunnel built to take the M62 through this area? Would've saved spoiling that landscape. Be just like Mont Blanc only shorter!

the one the farmhouse in the middle overlooks? by Turnpike Inn? its not a proper walkway/bridge to anywhere, no road access, so no need for the expense of a bridge.
I suppose they just made it accessible for pedestrians when they built it but they shut it off about 15 years ago as people kepy wanging stuff and themselves off.

Theres a walk way across the edge of the dam?
I'd be shit scared to even go on it!

I live near Hudds. and have always wanted to see how it was when this was constructed (I was born in '72 after it opened). What I do not understand is the dam further up the motorway (after the bridge) on the R/H/S seems they missed the walkway above the spillover in the middle! (or was it health & safety issue?)
Thankyou for posting this, I've waited a long time to see footage like this!

Not sure which of the Scammonden wardens you are - but thanks for this. We live here (Hudds side) and I love the comments about the weather - nothing changes!!
