Going Underground in Rossendale. Today we take a trip underground and go back to 1835.
In 1835 the coal industry within the Rossendale Valley in East Lancashire was evolving into the modern industry that we know today. Mining methods were still very basic and labor intensive as the Textile industry started to boom. We start this episode at the beautiful Ashgill Force, Alston Cumbria and then the Nent Valley as we explain the evolution in mining methods with some great archive footage regarding Colliery development and blasting before returning to Rossendale and our trip into the old horse road looking at it's various features. This is a part of Rossendale that few have ever seen
