    I’m a Blackburner born and bred and I have always had a fascination with the Leeds/Liverpool canal as it passes right through the heart of the town, just skirting the town centre.
    I have walked the towpath from Infirmary locks in Blackburn to as far as Skipton, which was broken up into two separate walks. My intention is to eventually resume the walk from Skipton and finish at Leeds, then restarting at infirmary locks to make my way towards Liverpool. It’s been a few years but I haven’t yet resigned to not doing it.
    Thanks for the video, it was really interesting to see the start of the longest canal in Britain, hopefully I will see it for myself soon.

    Amazing stuff George, what history we have right on our Doorstep. I started serving my Apprenticeship, just around the corner from the Bridge at Great Howard street end in No3 Glegg street, 1976. Tate & Lyle was still going strong in those days, in fact we used to do the overspill that their Workshops couldn't handle when they were busy. The amount of industry around there in those days was amazing. There were Cafe's all along Great Howard street and during the day they were chocker block with the lads that worked around. Happy Days 👍👍

    Great video. I knew about the canal spur but never heard of the two bridges. The concrete work under the Chisenhale Street bridge looks fairly new and must have been done to strengthen the bridge (cast iron looks very nice but it is not that strong). That Burlington Street bridge should still be there as you can still see the parapets. I guess that would have similar strengthening. Normally, if there is any kind of structure, access should be provided for inspection. Then they might just have filled it in with mass concrete.

    sorry if i have told you this before but i was a joiner for clayton and dorsman in little st bride st They had maitanace joiners in all the public buildings in liverpool. Iworked in the municipl annex for a few weeks and the joiner who was based there Dave wynn took me in the sub basement where the old boilers where situated. In there there was a tunnel going into dale st then left towards the pier head. his story was these tunnels provided a draught fot the coal boilers to send heat around the building. If you look above the door frames in the building you can see the vents for thr heat. I got to see under most of the buildings including St georges hall where the floors are held up with beams under the foor. Pity there where no smart phones in those days to take photos.

    Boss video again George. Been over that bridge many a time and never gave it a thought.
    Crying shame that it has been left to rot and not preserved as part of the docklands and railway history of that area.
    Looking forward to the next video 👍

    If you go up sandhills lane. Just before yiu get to commercial road. Theres a bridge over the existing leeds to liverpool canal. And its still got its original liver bird plaques. So they would be the same as the ones that are missing

    Hi mate. You like old tunnels, you need to get yourself to Edge Hill station. Lots of old tunnels to explore. Wapping tunnel is 1.5 miles long. Victoria tunnel is over 2 miles long. Lots of buildings from he original railway still exist.

    The warehouse next to the Mercedes Dealership used to belong to the Leeds & Liverpool Canal Company, in 2018 I was delivering cars to Mercedes, there was a guy on a JCB with a pecker going at the brickwork that supported a huge decorated wrought iron gate with the L&L logo that bridged over the top, I asked if it was going to a museum, nah said the driver its scrap, and there my friends is a huge waste of Liverpool heritage. Btw my grandfather was a carter he worked for the L&L company all his life.

One we went in we went down some stairs and came into an alley that was enclosed all around but open to the sky. The opposite side to were we came in had a row of low arch doorways. They were like little cells. This was around 1963
