@@rossendalecollieries7995 No yours already very organised! I love all your videos. Thanks for replying I like Valley history and also the genealogy side too.
i remember going to see Jaws at the picture when it was first released i went there with my best friend at the time Peter Lord. I haven't seen Peter in almost 40 years fair play to you for showing thiz video. It's a pity the picture house is due to be demolished very soon. I had sone great Saturday afternoons in the saturday mattinee
Fabulous. thanks. I believe my granddad Edward Halton was born in Rawtenstall in or around 1884 and served with the Manchester regiment / Manchester rifles ? in the first world war, settling in Cardiff, South Wales ( Maindy barracks ) after being discharged because of gas poisoning. I only wish I knew the history.
Absolutely loved this one Clive. As for the old picture house, I was there just yesterday looking for a sneaky way inside but they have built a fortress of barriers around it. I remember going there every other weekend with my mates. Saw Jaws, ET, Ghostbusters, Exorcist and many more movie there. Such a shame its going to be bulldozed! I'd love to go inside one last time to film it before its no more.
Great video, I remember those steep steps very well ,my uncle Jack & aunt Dorothy lived at 18 Ormerod St. and those steps gave access to back Ormerod St.
I've been there at that confluence of the irwell and limey water loads of times and I bet no-one else has seen what I once saw happen there a few years ago, where one river was heavily swollen and not the other, and then later on the swelling changed over so the other river was swollen as the first swelling dropped, how about that?! And don't anyone waste their time disputing it, I was there and I saw it!
Whiteheads would have been the last weaving shed in rawtenstall they also spun their own yarn to at one time i worked with tom pilling ,mani, brian (brain) Lancaster at John butterworths waterfoot they where all ex Whiteheads often see Brian who's in his 80s now knocking about n still have a good laugh
I wouldn't have recognised that! @@cliveseal1557 My great uncle from Widnes joined the Royal Field Artillery in 1914 but ended up being sent out to Gallipoli as an infantryman with 1 South Wales Borderers! PS we are from the area. My wife worked at the music school on Bank Street then started her own music school in Haslingden. And we both ran the Army Cadet Detachment next door to the solicitors in Haslingden in the 90s. We live in Portugal now. Loved your trips up Scout where I used to ride MC trials in the late 70s.

Wow...wonder what caused that to happen. Thanks for commenting.
That's how i remember rawtenstall, dark, gray, wet and everything looks dead

Donald kershaw had the rawtenstall to Blackpool record I know because he was my dad
I suppose it changed hands from time to time
Looking at the photo of your grandad I can't make out what his cap badge is? Was he South Lancs?
Winchester Rifle Brigade. He joined a southern regiment to avoid the temptation of clearing off home
