Pomona Island Manchester

Pomona Island is an Industrial wasteland. However, Nature finds a way to reclaim it. Standing derelict for over 40 years Nature has populated the area, wildflowers, birds, animals have made it their home. This area is the last placed in Manchester UK to be developed. Soon all this will be Glass and steel apartments. This Nature film expresses my sadness at the ensuing threat. The music I have used is ambient and sad to portray this Industrial wasteland. Why not be an urban explorer and investigate before it goes forever.

Nature Finds a way

In this video we are looking at the river Medlock from Phillips Park in Manchester to Its end. The River Medlock runs through an area that played a major role in Manchester's Industrial past. This is episode II. We start the video at the other side of The culvert where we left it in episode I. This is a grim area and requires some urban exploring to get to see the river. Might be popular with the urbex crew. We look at the history around this former Industrial area of Manchester. Beswick, Bradford and Holt Town the former Bradford Colliery.

Manchester The River Medlock I

Grave robbing took place in the late 1700's and the 1800's Middleton in Manchester had a local story of a grave robber or body snatcher, called Old Kanky. he lived at the bottom of Kanky Ginnel and by night would sneak into the cemetery  and rob the graves to sell the bodies in Manchester to the schools of medicine and surgery to be dissected. A tale of local folklore and history. A true grim story of horror.

Lets take a look at underground maps and plot the route of the tunnels. We take on some urban exploring as we go out on location and visit the various shafts on the perimeter of the city.

Mayfield Station

The Lost Rivers of Manchester

In this Manchester vlog, I take a look at The old Mayfield Railway station in Manchester. Mayfield is a now disused station. It has stood empty for years and this area of Manchester is the total opposite of the modern glass and steel structures that are being erected today. I also investigate a huge railway arch that covers the River Medlock. At the end of the video I discuss a recent purchase of a book about Manchester's Lost waterways and there is a quiz.

MEMORIAL TO THE UNKNOWN BABY

This spooky Halloween edition is filmed in Manchester general Cemetery and is all about Stories from beyond the grave. these are not ghost stories but stories of a people now long dead.  I have four stories from Manchester's Victorian history two stories are quite sad and one is very spooky and very much fits in this Halloween season. The story of the Manchester Mummy Hannah Beswick is probably the most bizarre story. Stay tuned, till the end and hopefully you will be spooked as I was. This is a very old graveyard and these are the stories of the dead.
