The Salford Sightings location
This area of Salford/Greater Manchester centered between 3 parks, Clifton Country Park, Philips Park and Drinkwater Park is the site of 3 sightings of an upright hairy bipedal figure. What is it about this place , could it simply be the fact that the River Irwell is the route they use now and have always used in the past?

Wet Earth Colliery - First Exploration of the Ochre Canal. Part 1
The remains of Wet Earth Colliery are at Clifton near Manchester in the City of Salford. In the 1990's a group of local mining enthusiasts began to explore what was left of Wet Earth. This video has been placed on YouTube as a historical record of the FIRST exploration of one of the major tunnels by Mark Wright and Alan Davies. The video is totally as taken and is uncut and TOTALLY unedited. Thanks to Mark Wright for permission to share this video. Part 2 of the video will be uploaded as soon as possible ...... but don't hold your breath, it's just more of the same.
The Colliery remains are located within the Clifton Country Park but all tunnels are now TOTALLY closed to EVERYONE - even the original explorers!.

Mudlarking and Mines
In this video we try some Mudlarking and we visit some abandoned mine workings. This week we are in Clifton country park on the Manchester / Salford border. We try some mudlarking on the banks of the River Irwell. We have some great finds. Victorian era Clay pipes. Old ornaments and pottery. This is also in the Irwell Valley and this was a Mining area around the 18th and 19th Century in Manchester / Salford. So we visit some abandoned mine workings and tunnels. In this urbex Urban explore we also find an old disused Victorian Steam turbine by the river bank. This is a wonderful piece of Industrial history. This is a good adventure along the river Irwell. We are very near to Wet Earth Colliery in Clifton. A place where James Brindley the famous civil engineer used an ingenious method to drain Wet Earth Colliery of flood water.

A Slice Of 'Bristol Countryside' seen from a Retail Park
A retail park or power center[1] is an unenclosed shopping center with a typical range of 250,000 square feet (23,000 m2) to 600,000 square feet (56,000 m2) of gross leasable area[2] that usually contains three or more big box retailers and various smaller retailers (usually located in strip plazas) with a common parking area shared among the retailers. It is likely to have more money spent on features and architecture than a traditional big box shopping center.[1]
Retail Parks in the United States of America:
In 1986, 280 Metro Center, an open-air, strip shopping complex composed of discount and warehouse retailers, opened in Colma, California in the United States; it is credited with being the first ever power center.[3] Northern Lights Shopping Center in Economy, Pennsylvania, which opened in 1962, could be considered an earlier example of a power center based on square footage (it had 609,405 square feet (57,000 m2) of leaseable space until the demolition of the former J. C. Penney building in 2006) and having multiple anchors (it had four until the aforementioned demolition, with two of the remaining three anchors currently being vacant as of 2014), though it has largely become more of a traditional community-style strip mall since the early 2000s and is generally considered a dead mall due to its high vacancy rate.[4]
South Edmonton Common in Edmonton is the largest power centre in Canada and one of the largest open-air retail developments in North America. Spread over 320 acres (1.3 km2), South Edmonton Common has more than 2,300,000 sq ft (210,000 m2) of gross leasable area.[5][non-primary source needed]
In recent years, it has become quite common for an older shopping mall to be renovated as (or replaced entirely by) a power center, adding big-box stores, category killers and strip shopping center-type buildings to the parking and open areas, rather than to add anchors and new retail space to the existing mall facility. Puente Hills Mall and Del Amo Fashion Center in Southern California are good examples of this. Other examples are Seven Corners Shopping Center in suburban Washington, D.C.[6] and Deerfoot Meadows in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Power centers are almost always located in suburban areas, but occasionally redevelopment has brought power centers to densely populated urban areas.
Some new power center developments have attempted to re-create the atmosphere of an old-town Main Street, with varying levels of success.
Retail Parks in the United Kingdom:
In the United Kingdom, the retail park is a similar concept to the North American power center. They are found on the fringes of most large towns and cities in highly accessible locations and are aimed at households owning a car. They offer an alternative to busy city centres. Such developments have been encouraged by cheaper, more affordable land on the outskirts of towns and cities, and with loose planning controls in a number of Enterprise Zones, making planning and development very easy.[7] In recent years, in many areas across the UK, planning controls have been tightened to preserve the countryside. This has made it more difficult for such developments to proceed, resulting in many smaller, more compact retail parks, sometimes only consisting of about three or four stores being built on former brownfield sites. There are also environmental disadvantages to large retail parks on the rural fringe, including the increased traffic and pollution that occurs during access.
Typically retail parks host a range of chain stores, including furniture, clothes or footwear superstores, electrical stores, carpet and others - and the anchor tenant is usually a supermarket. Owing to their out-of-town sites, abundance of free parking and proximity to major roads, retail parks are often easier to reach than central shopping areas, and as a result town centres are less attractive to retailers.[8]....
United States:
The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States (U.S.) or America (/əˈmɛrɪkə/), is a federal republic[16][17] composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions.[fn 6] Forty-eight states and the federal district are contiguous and located in North America between Canada and Mexico. The state of Alaska is in the northwest corner of North America, bordered by Canada to the east and across the Bering Strait from Russia to the west. The state of Hawaii is an archipelago in the mid-Pacific Ocean. The U.S. territories are scattered about the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, stretching across nine official time zones. The extremely diverse geography, climate and wildlife of the United States make it one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries.[19]
