Like most drain explores this one would have been a hell of a lot easier in the dry summer months ! The culvert runs under a big old mill the water draining from the Butterly reservoir further upstream . Parking up on Fall lane i came in to the culvert upstream start point then first pic...

Another culvert thats been on my to do list for some time now ! Set in the picturesque town of Marsden the access to this at the downstream entrance was nice and easy at around 140 meters its not to long but quite broad ( in the middle ). Culverting the river Colne its also a tall culvert with a...

Hello everyone I am looking for if anyone knows a way in or has any pictures of bank bottom mill , the larger of the two mills in marsden as we had a good look round but couldn't find any way. Any extra info would be good too thanks.

Had this place pinned for a couple of years so finally decided to take a look, quite different to something I would usually do. Decided to climb to the top and the view was stunning, even looked behind to see the active quarry. History on the place. Along the coast road from South Shields to...

The Standedge Tunnels are four parallel tunnels through the Pennine hills at the Standedge crossing between Marsden in West Yorkshire and Diggle in Greater Manchester in northern England. Three are railway tunnels and the other is a canal tunnel I mainly walked the two abandoned train tunnels...

I was hoping to explore the rest of RAF Long Marsden but we ran into a few builders, we asked if it was okay for us to go and have a look at the Martin B-26 Marauder and they agreed as long as we stayed in sight. If anyone could tell me some information about this plane I would be very grateful...

1. Introduction A tale of two mills, neither of which we could get into. They are massive and dominate the skyline of this lovely Yorkshire outpost. If developed, they could bring in much welcomed income into Marsden. For now, they sit, silent reminders of the skyline of this one great industry...

Visited back in Early Feb with Mookster and an American Explorer friend, who is over on an educational placement. We had quite a Northern Road Trip planned; with around 18 sites on our list, but sadly did about 4 or 5 over two days. Annoying but that's the nature of this beast! Cellars...

(Photo Credit: http://www.marsdenphotoarchive.info/buildings/?&pp_fID_130=511) Cellars Clough Mill was opened in 1888. It was owned by Samuel Firth, then Fisher Firth and Son. In 1981 it became Cellars Clough Woolen Mill, before closing in 1982. Visited solo on a slightly drab weekday morning...

Cellars Clough Mill A very brief pop in on a sunny afternoon with a mate, using some of his photos with his permission (@Maxjsen/@itss_max - Instagram) The mill is situated east of Marsden towards Slaithwaite right next to the canal path, in and around the mill ponds popular with fishermen...

After a quick train journey down to Lockwood and a 10 minute walk up to Newsome Mill, we were unable to gain access. We then retreated to Slaithwaite to check out Westwood Mill, only to find that it was surrounded by scaffolding. The floor is falling through and the wood is weak and rotting so...

New Mills Culvert - Marsden This was another of the culverts on my tick list from over the hill in banjo country, thankfully the locals seemed fairly sedate on this visit. The culvert is approximately 140m long and starts in the centre of the tranquil Yorkshire village of Marsden, recently...

Bank Bottom Culvert - Marsden It's been a few frustrating days visiting many places, but failing for many reasons. Time to rethink the long drives and concentrate on some of my local venues I though. Like most I have a list, some places just to check to see if there is access, unfinished...

History The Standedge Tunnels, which consist of four parallel passageways, are located beneath the Pennines in England. Two of the tunnels are former railway lines which now function as service ways, one is still part of the live main rail line, and the final one is a canal tunnel. The canal...
