1966 Train from Bury to Bacup. pt2

Train from Bury to Bacup 1966. part 2 - Stubbins to Rawtenstall, via Strongstry (which the narrator has trouble pronouncing) , Irwell Vale, Ewood Bridge and New Hall Hey. On a personal note, my own childhood home appears on the horizon 1:21 to 1:24, about a month before I was born!!

the steam train used to go along the other side of the river from our house in Chatterton between Stubbins and Strongstry (probably around 0.38). I lived there when this film was made - when I was 9 years old....

I did a survey of the Irwell and remember going back and forth under lots of railway bridges from Tottington to Bacup. very scenic. Thanks for sharing

Hi boo66, can you get this on a DVD ?

60 trains used to go through Ramsbottom station on a saturday when the accrington and Bacup line's were both open up until Beechings cuts. Just goes to show what a major station it was. Such a shame it's all gone now apart from the ELR.
