Bolton is a town in Greater Manchester in North West England. A former mill town, Bolton has been a production centre for textiles since Flemish weavers settled in the area in the 14th century, introducing a wool and cotton-weaving tradition.
Bolton was a 19th-century boomtown, and at its zenith in 1929 its 216 cotton mills and 26 bleaching and dyeing works made it one of the largest and most productive centres of cotton spinning in the world. The British cotton industry declined sharply after the First World War, and by the 1980s cotton manufacture had virtually ceased in Bolton.
Close to the West Pennine Moors, Bolton is 10 miles (16 km) northwest of Manchester. It is surrounded by several smaller towns and villages that together form the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton, of which Bolton is the administrative centre. Historically part of Lancashire, Bolton originated as a small settlement in the moorland known as Bolton le Moors. In the English Civil War, the town was a Parliamentarian outpost in a staunchly Royalist region, and as a result was stormed by 3,000 Royalist troops led by Prince Rupert of the Rhine in 1644. In what became known as the Bolton Massacre, 1,600 residents were killed and 700 were taken prisoner.
Football club Bolton Wanderers play home games at the Macron Stadium and the WBA World light-welterweight champion Amir Khan was born in the town. Cultural interests include the Octagon Theatre and the Bolton Museum and Art Gallery, as well as one of the earliest public libraries established after the Public Libraries Act 1850.

Bolton Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Greater Manchester (or Lancashire up until 1974), around 10 miles northwest of Manchester, is the town of Bolton.
Having received a charter to become a market town back in 1253, Bolton has been an industrial town for centuries, going back to circa 1337 when Flemish weavers moved to Bolton to work in the textile industry.
Bolton was to play a key role in the Industrial Revolution, when in 1779, Bolton-born Samuel Crompton invented the spinning mule. This was a machine that would vastly increase the amount of cotton that could be spun at any one time, effectively a more advanced version of Preston-born Richard Arkwright's water frame from 1769. Cotton mills would soon emerge around the town. At its peak there were over 200 mills in Bolton, making it one of the largest centres of cotton spinning in the world.
The Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal was constructed in the 1790s. Although abandoned in 1961, this waterway was key to growth in Bolton during the 19th century. Several coal mines emerged around this time, some just by the canal itself. In 1828 the Bolton and Leigh Railway opened, making it Lancashire's first public railway.
Between 1866 and 1873 Bolton Town Hall was constructed on Victoria Square. It was designed by a pupil of Cuthbert Brodrick, the architect who designed Leeds Town Hall. This explains the relative similarities between the two (although the restoration work at the time of filming makes it a bit hard to illustrate!). In 1978 a local steeplejack by the name of Fred Dibnah rose to fame when a regional BBC news crew filmed him making repairs to the clock tower and the 16 stone pillars. Following on from this, documentaries were commissioned with the focus on Dibnah and his work scaling tall chimneys, as well as his fascination with steam and Britain's industrial past. Fred Dibnah passed away in 2004, yet his legacy as a household name remains. A statue of Dibnah features in the video on Oxford Street.
Industry in Bolton declined in the 20th century, with the coal mines and textile mills gradually closing. Today manufacturing has been largely replaced by service industries. In football, Bolton is represented by Bolton Wanderers F.C. and is the hometown of boxer Amir Khan. Other famous people from Bolton include Sara Cox, Vernon Kay, Peter Kay (no relation apparently) and Paddy McGuinness. The sitcom Phoenix Nights was set in Bolton.

Places to see in ( Whaley Bridge - UK )
Whaley Bridge is a small town and civil parish in the High Peak district of Derbyshire, England, situated on the River Goyt. Whaley Bridge is approximately 16 miles (26 km) south of Manchester, 7 miles (11 km) north of Buxton, 9 miles (14 km) east of Macclesfield and 28 miles (45 km) west of Sheffield, and had a population of 6,455 at the 2011 census. This includes the village of Furness Vale, which falls within the boundaries of Whaley Bridge. Other districts of 'Whaley', as it is known locally, include Horwich End , Bridgemont , Fernilee , Stoneheads and Taxal.
The River Goyt formed the historical boundary between Derbyshire and Cheshire. The present town of Whaley Bridge was divided into smaller towns in both counties. Historical records show that in 1316 on the Cheshire side there were Taxal, Yeardsley and Whaley, the last two being combined into one district of 'Yeardsley-cum-Whaley'. The Derbyshire side consisted only of Fernilee, which included the villages of Shallcross and Horwich. This side was in the parish of Hope and was part of the Forest of High Peak, while the Cheshire side was part of the Forest of Macclesfield. From 1796 Taxal and Yeardsley were effectively joined in that the Jodrell family was the main landowner in both towns, although the administration of these remained separate until 1936.
Until the late 19th century the population of the area grew slowly. For example, in the diocesan census in 1563, Taxal is recorded as having 26 households, and by the mid-18th century Taxal and Yeardsley together only reached 55 households. In 1791 land at Whaley Bridge was advertised for sale, the owner believing that its waterpower would be useful in the textile industry, but the two townships remained very small and only had a population of 853 between them by 1841. Up to this time agriculture and coalmining had been the main occupations.
The town expanded greatly in the Industrial Revolution and the population almost trebled to 2,322. Although there had been coal mines from earlier times, by 1871 cotton mills had become the dominant industry. Coal mining took place in the area from its very early days because of a large geographical fault which traverses the Whaley Bridge basin from east to west resulting in the coal outcropping in various places. Documentary evidence of 1587 indicates a well-established coal industry in the Towneshepp of Weley, known today as Whaley Bridge. Today, there is less intensive agriculture labour and no coal mining in the area.
Whaley Bridge continues to expand as new housing is built, but it retains the character of a small town. As the self-styled 'Gateway to the Goyt' it attracts tourists, mainly walkers, but it has not become dominated by the tourist industry, unlike some other local towns and villages. With a good commuter railway service to Manchester many people travel to work in the Manchester or Cheshire areas. With the introduction of ADSL broadband internet services increasingly people work from home.
The Cromford and High Peak Railway was granted Parliamentary consent in 1825. It was fully opened for passenger and goods traffic on 6 July 1831. The railway linked the wharf at the head of the Whaley Bridge Branch of the Peak Forest Canal to the Cromford Canal at Cromford Wharf. The Peak Forest Canal and basin were built in the 1790s and opened on 1 May 1800. An important Grade 2 listed building at the head of the Peak Forest Canal was the Transhipment Warehouse, built in 1801 and extended after the arrival of the railway in 1832.

A soothing journey through Bolton, United Kingdom
Whether you’re indoors or outdoors, this is the season of bliss, as you enter a new year full of warmth. Ah, winter! Doesn't it have its own unique charm? Oh, in fact, winter is not even just a season, it's an emotion altogether!
We peep outside the window, and it’s a clear cold morning, even the sun seems too lazy to rise! We then see a curtain of fog hanging low, suspended over the fresh green grass, shining with the sunlight that's reflected by the dew. Now it's getting late, so we somehow pull ourselves out of our bundle of joy and prepare for a cozy day, with cardigans and those handknit furry socks and hand-mittens. Ah, we can feel the howling wind slicing the air. We have no option but to grab a hot cuppa, in the meagre balmy sunlight and feel like doing nothing, just hanging around, like the fog itself.
Or catch up on that book we've always wanted to read, or why not, sit down and write one ourself? Golden sunlight seems to melt the rosy chill at some places and all the friends are clamoring to get sun-baked in that coveted spot. Oh My God! What a terrific scene it would be.
Well, tell you what? Winter has not arrived yet, but who can stop us from reliving the amazing season, through this video!

Harwich to Hook of Holland. The Overnight Ferry with Stena Line, MV Stena Hollandica
I think this is a real bargain! When I looked at booking this trip as a foot passenger, it necessitated getting all the way to Harwich which, by train, can mean going into London then back out again. Step forward the 'Dutch Flyer' Stena's Rail and Sail offering in-conjunction with Greater Anglia trains which allows you to buy a combined ticket from any Greater Anglia network station, plus the ferry all the way over to The Netherlands.
So I began my journey from Cromer where I'd been spending the day and it meant I didn't have to go in and out of London. In this video, I'll tell you how to buy and use the ticket, how much it costs and, of course, I'll show you around the ship and we'll have a look at what's on offer, have dinner and take a look at the cabin I got as well.
I'd love to hear your experiences if you've sailed with Stena on this route either on the Dutch Flyer combined ticket or not. Thanks as always guys for watching the video, it really is appreciated and goes a long way in helping me to make more content like this in the future.
Cheers for now.

Places to see in ( Leigh - UK )
Places to see in ( Leigh - UK )
Leigh is a town in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, Greater Manchester, England, 7.7 miles southeast of Wigan and 9.5 miles west of Manchester city centre. Leigh is situated on low-lying land to the north west of Chat Moss.
Historically a part of Lancashire, Leigh was originally the centre of a large ecclesiastical parish covering six vills or townships. When the three townships of Pennington, Westleigh and Bedford merged in 1875 forming the Leigh Local Board District, Leigh became the official name for the town although it had been applied to the area of Pennington and Westleigh around the parish church for many centuries. The town became an urban district in 1894 when part of Atherton was added. In 1899 Leigh became a municipal borough. The first town hall was built in King Street and replaced by the present building in 1907.
Originally an agricultural area noted for dairy farming, domestic spinning and weaving led to a considerable silk and, in the 20th century, cotton industry. Leigh also exploited the underlying coal measures particularly after the town was connected to the canals and railways. Leigh had an important engineering base. The legacy of Leigh's industrial past can be seen in the remaining red brick mills – some of which are listed buildings – although it is now a mainly residential town, with Edwardian and Victorian terraced housing packed around the town centre. Leigh's present-day economy is based largely on the retail sector.
Leigh is low-lying; land to the south and east, close to Chat Moss, is 50 feet (15 m) above mean sea level. The highest land, to the north and west, rises gently to 125 feet (38 m). Astley and Bedford Mosses are fragments of the raised bog that once covered a large area north of the River Mersey and along with Holcroft and Risley Mosses are part of Manchester Mosses, a European Union designated Special Area of Conservation.
Major landmarks in Leigh are the red sandstone parish church and across the civic square, Leigh Town Hall and its associated shops on Market Street. The Grade II listed Obelisk that replaced the original market cross is also situated here. Many town centre buildings including the Boar's Head public house are in red Ruabon or Accrington bricks, often with gables and terracotta dressings. There are several large multi-storey cotton mills built along the Bridgewater Canal that are a reminder of Leigh's textile industry but most are now underused and deteriorating despite listed building status. Leigh's War Memorial by local architect J.C. Prestwich is at the junction of Church Street and Silk Street and is a Grade II listed structure. St Joseph's Church and St Thomas's Church on opposite sides of Chapel Street are both imposing churches using different materials and styles.
Historically Leigh was well connected to the local transport infrastructure, but with the closure of the railway in 1969 this is no longer the case. Public transport is co-ordinated by the Transport for Greater Manchester. There are bus services operated by First Greater Manchester, Jim Stones, Maytree Travel, Diamond Bus North West, Stagecoach Manchester and Network Warrington from Leigh bus station to many local destinations including Wigan, Bolton, Warrington, Manchester and St Helens.

A winters stroll in Lancashire's past - visiting Edgworth, Chapeltown and Turton Tower.
We explore the history of southern Lancashire, finding a medieval tower with matching medieval railway bridges! Two villages where local philaphasis provided private baths and education!
Starting at Turton Tower we proceed to Jumbles Country Park and then follow Bradshaw Brook to the outskirts of Edgworth. Skirting Edgworth we pass the Old Russia Lodge Mill Chimney before descending on the Barlow Institute. From Edgworth we pass along the dam of Wayoh Reservoir to venture into Chapeltown. Here we view some of the buildings connected to the Chetham's family. Next, exploring the medieval turreted railway bridges we then approach Turton Tower from the North.
The walk is about four and half miles and is generally flat with just one set of steep steps, and underfoot conditions that are generally good as reasonable amount of roads and cobblestones. However, there are a few places where it can get very muddy when we have had persistent rain.
If you enjoy the great outdoors and appreciate the views of the countryside with a curiosity as to the development and history of the structures within the landscape, this video is for you.

CHORLEY TOWN CENTRE Walking Tour. England, UK
Walking around the town centre of Chorley. My Adventure Planet
Chorley is a town and the administrative centre of the wider borough of Chorley in Lancashire, England.
Chorley is 8.1 miles (13 km) north of Wigan, 10.8 miles (17 km) south west of Blackburn, 11 miles (18 km) north west of Bolton, 12 miles (19 km) south of Preston and 19.5 miles (31 km) north west of Manchester.
Chorley town centre is bisected by the A6 Roman road.
It is located near to junctions 6 and 8 of the M61 motorway and junction 27 of the M6; Charnock Richard services are sited within the borough.
The town's wealth came principally from the cotton industry.
In the 1970s, the skyline was dominated by factory chimneys, but most have now been demolished.
Remnants of the industrial past include Morrisons chimney and other mill buildings and the streets of terraced houses for mill workers.
Also, given its location on the edge of Lancashire Coalfield, Chorley was vital in coal mining.
The last pit in the area to close was the Ellerbeck Colliery in 1987 which was located south of Chorley, between Coppull and Adlington.
Chorley had a population of 33,424 at the 2001 census, with the wider borough of Chorley having a population of 101,991.
The town is the home of the Chorley cake. Every October, the Chorley Cake Street Fair promotes the cakes with a competition for local bakers to produce the largest ever Chorley cake.

Places to see in ( Sedbergh - UK )
Places to see in ( Sedbergh - UK )
Sedbergh is a small town and civil parish in Cumbria, England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it lies about 10 miles east of Kendal and about 10 miles north of Kirkby Lonsdale. The town sits just within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Sedbergh is at the foot of the Howgill Fells on the north bank of the River Rawthey which joins the River Lune about 2 miles (2 km) below the town.
Sedbergh has a narrow main street lined with shops. From all angles, the hills rising behind the houses can be seen. Until the coming of the Ingleton Branch Line in 1861, these remote places were reachable only by walking over some fairly steep hills. The railway to Sedbergh was closed in 1965. The civil parish covers a large area, including the hamlets of Millthrop, Catholes, Marthwaite, Brigflatts, High Oaks, Howgill, Lowgill and Cautley, the southern part of the Howgill Fells and the northern part of Baugh Fell.
George Fox, a founder of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), spoke in St. Andrew's Church (which he called a steeple house) and on nearby Firbank Fell during his travels in the North of England in 1652. Briggflatts Meeting House was built in 1675. It is the namesake of Basil Bunting's long poem Briggflatts (1966). Sedbergh School is a co-educational boarding school in the town, while Settlebeck School is the main state-funded secondary school for the town.
Sedbergh's parish church dedicated to St Andrew dates from the 12th century, though restored periodically since then. There is at least one house in the village dating from the 14th century, and there are the remains of a motte and bailey castle believed to date from Saxon times.
Sedbergh's main industries for many years were farming and the production of woollen garments. Wool was taken to mills where it was turned into yarn from which people in their homes knitted clothing, including hats and socks. The town was served by Sedbergh railway station from 1861 to 1954.
About two miles west of the town, near Marthwaite, Ingmire Hall comprises the remains of a 16th-century house, incorporating a pele tower, altered and enlarged in the 19th century by Kendalian architect George Webster and again in the 20th century. The hall was partially destroyed by fire in the 1920s but was extended and partially remodelled in 1989. The property is built of coursed rubble with quoins and has slate roofs. Although the hall is within private grounds, there is a public footpath running alongside the drive-way.
St Gregory's Church is a redundant Anglican church situated on the A684 road about 1.5 miles (2 km) to the west of Sedbergh. It has been designated a Grade II listed building and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.

Driving Around Hebden Bridge Calderdale Calder Valley West Yorkshire United Kingdom
Hebden Bridge is a market town in the Upper Calder Valley in West Yorkshire, England.
Surrounded by breathtaking countryside, Hebden Bridge has been voted as the fourth funkiest town in the world best small market town in the UK and the greatest town in Europe.

map of North West England
North West England is one of the best and most popular of nine official regions of England and consists of the administrative counties of #1 ranked Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside. The North West had a population of 7,052,000 in 2011. It is the third-most-populated region in the United Kingdom, after the South East and Greater London. The largest settlements are Manchester and Liverpool. North West England is bounded to the east by the Pennines and to the west by the Irish Sea. The region extends from the Scottish Borders in the north to the West Midlands region in the south. To its southwest is North Wales. Amongst the better known of the North West's physiographical features are the Lake District and the Cheshire Plain. The highest point in North West England (and the highest peak in England) is Scafell Pike, Cumbria, at a height of 3,209 feet (978 m).
Windermere is the largest natural lake in England, while Broad Crag Tarn on Broad Crag is England's highest lake. Wast Water is England's deepest lake, being 74 metres deep.
A mix of rural and urban landscape, two large conurbations, centred on Liverpool and Manchester, occupy much of the south of the region. The north of the region, comprising Cumbria and northern Lancashire, is largely rural, as is the far south which encompasses parts of the Cheshire Plain and Peak District.
The region includes parts of three National parks (all of the Lake District, and small parts of the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales) and three areas of Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (all of Arnside and Silverdale and the Solway Coast, and almost all of the Forest of Bowland The North West is generally regarded as having the most average weather in the UK. Temperatures are generally close to the national average. Cumbria usually experiences the most severe weather, with high precipitation in the mountainous regions of the Lake District and Pennines. In winter, the most severe weather occurs in the more exposed and elevated areas of the North West, once again mainly the Lake District and Pennine areas.
Parts of the North West experienced a White Christmas in 2009, and again in 2010, where sleet and snow fell on December 25.
The A635 was closed for almost a month in January 2010 due to high amounts of snowfall.

The five largest metropolitan areas in the North West are as follows:
Greater Manchester metropolitan area – 2,556,000
Liverpool/Birkenhead metropolitan area – 2,241,000
Blackburn/Burnley – 391,000

Liverpool and Manchester are sometimes considered parts of a single large polynuclear metropolitan area, or megalopolis but are usually treated as separate metropolitan areas. In some studies, part of Wigan in Greater Manchester is considered part of the Liverpool metropolitan area. #northwestengland #nwengland #northwestenglandmap
Rivington Pike Lancashire - A Monster Calls Filming Location 4K Drone Video
Rivington is a village and civil parish of the Borough of Chorley, Lancashire, England, occupying 2,538 acres (4.0 sq mi; 10.3 km2). It is about 6 miles (9.7 km) southeast of Chorley and about 8 1⁄2 miles (13.7 km) northwest of Bolton.[1] Rivington is a rural area consisting primarily of agricultural grazing land, moorland, with hill summits including Rivington Pike and Winter Hill within the West Pennine Moors. The area has a thriving tourist industry centred around reservoirs created to serve Liverpool in the Victorian era and Lever Park created as a public park by William Lever at the turn of the 20th century, with two ancient barns, a replica of Liverpool Castle and open countryside. Rivington and its village had a population of 109 at the 2011 Census.The name Rivington is made up of three elements: riv is from the Old English hrēof meaning rough or rugged; ing is a place name forming suffix that seems to have crept in over the years; the last is the Old English tūn meaning a farmstead, estate or settlement.[4][5] Together they indicate a farmstead or settlement at the rough or rugged place. Another suggestion is a place at the rowan trees.Rivington Pike is a hill on Winter Hill, part of the West Pennine Moors at Rivington, Chorley in Lancashire, England. The nearest towns are Adlington and Horwich. The Pike Tower is a prominent local landmark and is located at the summit. The area is popular with hill walkers and for mountain biking
Rivington was recorded in many ways in earlier centuries, Rowinton, Rawinton, and Revington were used in 1202; Ruhwinton in 1212, Riuiton in 1226, Rowynton and Rouynton in 1278, Roynton in 1332, Rouyngton in 1400, Revyngton although rare, and Rovington and Ryvington from the 16th century.A Neolithic or Bronze Age stone, with a cup and ring mark dating from between 2000 and 3000 BC, was found near the Lower Rivington Reservoir in 1999.[8] It is possible that settlements have existed in the area around Rivington since the Bronze Age.[9] Arrowheads, a flint knife, scrapers and the remains of cremations were excavated from a Bronze Age cairn at Noon Hill in 1958 and 1963–64.[10] It is possible that the name Coblowe on the eastern bank of the Lower Rivington Reservoir derives from the Old English hlaw, a hill, which denoted an ancient barrow or burial place.[11] Evidence for the existence of a settlement here in Anglo-Saxon times is found in the Rivington and Coblowe names.Rivington was dramatically changed by the construction of the Rivington Reservoir Chain, part of the 10,000 acre Rivington watershed,[20] built to provide Liverpool with a safe, clean water supply. Nine properties in the valley were demolished before construction work began. The Rivington Pike Scheme, still in use today, was undertaken by Thomas Hawksley between 1850 and 1857, requiring Liverpool Corporation to purchase large areas of occupied land within the Rivington valley. The scheme was to construct five reservoirs and a water treatment works at the south end of Lower Rivington with a 17-mile (27 km) pipeline to storage reservoirs at Prescot. Water from two higher level reservoirs, Rake Brook and Lower Roddlesworth, was carried south in the Goit, a man-made channel connecting them to the lower reservoirs. In 1900 Liverpool Corporation attempted to acquire the entire area of Rivington to safeguard its water supply, and proposed demolishing the entire village
