Good video Kieron, Hebden got famous and popular because of a advert for the new town of Milton Keynes.
The advert showed a picture of the brand new sparkling Milton Keynes and said why don't you come and live here, or you could live in this run down mill town of Hebden, with a picture showing an old derelict factory, taken in the rain.
People started to look at Hebden and the house prices and they packed their pink pants and flowery shirts and moved up north.

Whenever I see you walking/cycling off in to the distance I always picture you having to turn around after to retrieve your camera! 😂 Very dedicated Kieran. Love it.

Always look forward to your videos. Saddo that I am - I try to follow the route on Google maps.

Well deserved pint fella ... Great Bimble !!

[pearlcanham]

Great vid as per Kieran...particularly the dropped comment of 'Sticky Vicky'...haha! Try explaining that to your American viewers. That one must have been some Bimble!!

Lived there in the fifties and sixties, visit once a year to relive old memories

If you enjoy a pint try the Fox and Goose, a community pub noted for its pristine ales, situated at the junction of the A646 (King Street) and Heptonstall Road. Just up the road to Heptonstall is (what was) a council estate built just after Word War 2. The houses were built from stone reclaimed from the Duke of Bridgewater's Worsley New Hall. Regards.

Omg the cat at 15:25, I would have spent all day with it. Nice Bimble buddy, I'm from local Burnley/Accrington. Always loved spending time in Tod/Hebden. Give me a shout if you're closer to Accrington and want some help/behind the scenes/drone footage or just a pint.

Loved the video Kieran, don't know if you watched the Gallows Pole on BBC, this was about the Cragg Vale coiners. Their leader David Hartley was hung at the Tyburn in York and his body was buried in the original St Thomas's grave yard, not alot of people know that :).

Hi Kieran...didn't know you liked poetry. Here is a poem what I wrote to explain my you appreciate it...

"Viaductophile"

I'm a chronic viaductophile.
I just can't get enough of that feeling,
When i see a gulf spanned with brutal elegance,
Embankment as foreplay,
Enmeshed in the dance of the landscape,
Created to carry the weight of the world wherever it needs to go,

Passengers and freight,
And post that cannot wait,

So span the river,
Cross the gorge,
The iron works, the mine, the forge need linking to the town,
And railways can't go up and down too well, you see,
So now my Higher Power is Brunel!

And I dribble at the Ribblehead and swoon at Miller's Dale,
Sankey Valley gets me all worked up and the Forth Bridge cannot fail
To drop the jaw,
In deepest
They just don't make 'em like that anymore!

So now my browsing history is littered with bridges and tunnels and cuts,
I need to put it all in

I know I'm a viaductophile, but,

If this isn't love
Why does it feel so good?

Did this route the other week on my bike, went from Marsden to Huddersfield then on to Halifax and back up the canal to Littleborough.

Thanks for this video, missing calderdale, and its keeping my memories alive.

[AndrewHHems]

With me writing poetry I appreciated the last part, being a huge fan of Hughes and Plath. Thanks mate 🤘

Great Bimble Kieron, My good friend and meself have been Bimbling for many years, one day in the week we would choose somewhere interesting to go by public transport and visit! we have been to Hebden Bridge, Howarth ( Kighley and Worth Valley Railway ) and Todmorden, interesting thing about Tod is that it used to be half in Yorkshire and half in Lancashire, I believe the Boundary used to go through the centre of the Town Hall! I often wondered in the past if it caused problems for the different county authorities! still Yorkshire eventuall claimed all of it..

Some way up them cobbles, glad I didn’t have a paper round there.😀

[SupramanGR]
