Lea Valley Batford, Against destruction of The Green Belt
This is a aerial video of the Lea Valley in England. This land was farmed by the Catuvellauni tribe for a thousand years before the Romans invaded the British Isles, and is considered an area of outstanding natural beauty. The Valley feeds into the Lea River which provides a home to rare water birds and is a conservation area. The River Lea is a rare Chalk River, so rare that is is one of only 200 on the planet! This stunning River Valley is now under threat by the Hertfordshire Conservative County Council who want to terrace the hillside, concrete it over and build a School for 2000 pupils on it, even though there are other brownfield sites available, Local people suspect that this is due to corruption! This will destroy this beautiful place for generations to come and annihilate the habitat of some of England's most important wildlife. Please help us in fighting this, wherever you are on Planet Earth. Please Email the Hertfordshire member of parliament Pete Lilley who is is supporting this at: feedback@peterlilley.co.uk and tell him that you support the people of the Lea Valley in their fight for an inquiry to help stop the destruction of this stunning area. Thanks.
The Village Manchester
The Village is located in the heart of the city centre and forms one of Manchester’s most well-known areas. It is minutes away from Piccadilly train station, has nearby access to the Metrolink from St Peter's Square, neighbours the UK's second largest Chinatown, and lies within walking distance to Manchester's university campuses.
Originally, the area was home to the booming Cotton industry. The iconic industrial buildings were saved and converted into highly desirable dwellings for anybody wanting to live in the city centre. Many of these developments retain sought-after original features and industrial character. Over time, bars opened on the now famous Canal Street, and the 90's brought a glass fronted Revolution to modernize the area. This was emblematic of an out and-proud LGBT community that we see today, and is further commemorated by the Alan Turing memorial in Sackville Gardens.
From a vibrant nightlife, to the everday goings-on across our great city,
The Village brings all that Manchester has to offer to your doorstep. If you'd like more information, please contact Julie Twist Properties on 0161 834 8486

[Wikipedia] Monton Green railway station
Monton Green railway station is a closed station in Eccles.
Opened on 1 November 1887, Monton Green was the first station on the London and North Western Railway's Manchester and Wigan Railway, which connected Eccles with Wigan and the Tyldesley Loopline which connected Tyldesley, Leigh and Kenyon Junction. Other stations on the line were located at Worsley and Ellenbrook. The station was built on an embankment at the road junctions of Canal Bank and Parrin Lane in Monton.
The Tyldesley Loopline was earmarked for closure in the Beeching Report, and Monton Green closed on 5 May 1969, along with the rest of the line.
Since closure, the embankment spanning Monton Green has been demolished. However, the embankment running parallel to the Bridgewater Canal has been preserved as part of Salford City Council's Recreation Pathways scheme. The route is popular with walkers & cyclists, as the path gives excellent views over the local area.

Pennington Flash Wigan DJI Drone Video
Pennington Flash Country Park is a 200-hectare (490-acre) country park located between Lowton and Pennington, Leigh in Greater Manchester, England.
The flash is a 70-hectare (170-acre) lake created at the turn of the 20th century by coal mining subsidence, mainly from Bickershaw Colliery, and flooding.[1] As an example of natural regeneration, Pennington Flash Country Park is now a nature reserve with several bird hides and a network of tracks and footpaths suitable for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. The Flash's hides have ramps for wheelchair access.[2]
Over 230 bird species have been recorded on site including black-faced bunting, nightingale, marsh harrier, spoonbill and Leach's storm-petrel. Additionally, a wide variety of butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies can be spotted in the area.
Facilities include a small information centre, a nine-hole municipal golf course, a pay and display car park, a children's play area, picnic and recreation areas, bird watching facilities, fishing on certain shores, sailing, windsurfing and rowing through Leigh and Lowton Sailing Club,[3] a mobile café and toilets.

Black Friday shopping turns chaotic
Greater Manchester Police appealed for calm after attending seven Tesco shops, at which three men were arrested and a woman was hit by a falling television.
The force said the issues were totally predictable and it was disappointed by shop security. Tesco said only a small number of stores were affected.
Police were called in places including Dundee, Glasgow, Cardiff and London.
Originating in the US, Black Friday is becoming a major UK shopping day.
Visa has predicted that UK shoppers will spend £518m online on cards on Friday - which would make it the country's biggest internet shopping day in history.
Incidents at those stores and other locations included:
About 200 shoppers refused to leave a store in Middleton despite being told stock had all gone
Fights broke out between shoppers in Stretford, and a woman suffered minor injuries after being hit by a falling television. The store was closed at 00:36 GMT
A man was arrested in Salford after he threatened to smash a staff member's face in
A woman broke her wrist in a crush, with Greater Manchester Police's deputy chief constable Ian Hopkins describing shoppers' behaviour as appalling
In Wigan, officers were called to reports of several hundred people trying to enter the store. Police added: Two men were ejected before control was regained
There were reports of fighting in a store in Hattersley, where a man was arrested for a public order offence
A man was arrested for assault at a store in Green End
Bicester Village shopping outlet in Oxfordshire had to temporarily close after roads around it became gridlocked by Black Friday shoppers

Lancashire Mining Museum at Astley Green
Rare i do much drone videos yet thought id give this a go today :) Added a bit of music which runs out before final 30 seconds..
Anyhow... Here is some information about the Mining Museum
Situated on the edge of Chat Moss, in an area once full of collieries, lies the picturesque village of Astley Green. In the heart of the village stands Astley Green Colliery Museum which, but for the foresight of Lancashire County Council and several leading figures within the community, would have suffered the same fate as the other collieries in the area, total demolition. It was the uniqueness of the 3,300 hp twin tandem compound steam winding engine that brought the demolition to a halt. As the result of the intervention, the museum houses Lancashire’s only surviving headgear and engine house, both of which now have scheduled monument and listed building status.
The museum occupies some fifteen acres of the Astley Green Colliery site. To the south lies the Bridgewater Canal and Astley Moss, an important mossland site. The low-lying landscape ensures that the museum’s 98ft high lattice steel headgear can be seen for many miles, a fitting memorial to days now past.
Apart from the steam winding engine and headgear the museum houses many exhibits, not least of which is the collection of 28 colliery locomotives, the largest collection of its type in the United Kingdom.
The colliery began its life in 1908 to exploit coal reserves in the south Lancashire Coalfield. Had it not been for the increasing demand for coal, at that time, the project would not have been viable. The coal seams at Astley Green are very deep and overlain by 100 feet of wet and unstable ground. These factors made the sinking of the shaft a very expensive proposition. The novelty of many of the requirements tested the ingenuity of the engineers during the construction, so much so that a paper, on the sinking of the shaft, was presented to the Institute of Mining Engineers. The colliery had a lifespan of only 62 years, finally closing its gates in 1970. Because of its short and relatively recent history, a considerable number of written and photographic records have survived. This has enabled a detailed study to be made of the construction of the colliery and its subsequent operation.
The museum is now run and maintained, on behalf of the community, by the Red Rose Steam Society Limited, a registered charity based in Lancashire.
