Housing estate off whinney hill
 
Looking into the history of the site.Been talking to a few neighbours and a lot of them have experianced strange goings on,so just wondering what was on the site before,,,can anyone shed any light??

accyman 06-06-2012 18:15

Re: Housing estate off whinney hill
 
a brick yard most of it

as for shedding light

ghosts dont exist so dont frett about poltergiest or ghouls :)

probbaly just rats making their way from the canal to the tip for supper

There used to be a tunnel from the brickyard where the houses are now through to the quarry where they got the clay for the bricks.
Maybe a long forgotten brickmaker was buried there when they filled the tunnel in and he is trying to escape.

Then again I tend to agree with the post above from accyman.

Re: Housing estate off whinney hill
 
The area was the huge Nori Brickworks.I worked there in the 50's in between terms in the 6th form.There were a number of coal fired kilns and a tunnel kiln fired by gas.The ground below these must have got very hot,so the earth will be weakened.At the entrance to the estate off Whinney Hill Rd. there was a coal mine and I Don't know whether the shaft was filled in or just capped.This area is now just grass and not built on for obvious reasons.The side of the hill next to the estate is a filled in by refuse old quarry which caught fire in the late 50's and burned internally for two years,so it must be a bit honeycombed inside.
All this points to some unstable land beneath your feet,so there must be some land movements acting like mini earthquakes,which could event in slight rumblings and pots rattling.So I am afraid no ghosts!

May explain some things but not smoke alarms going off with no smoke,burgler alarms when nobody in house,tv coming on when it had been umpluged,lights being turned on,2 mobile phones breaking within seconds of each other in same house,shadows etc just to name a few things that have happened.......

Re: Housing estate off whinney hill
 
I think you need your wiring checking.
Mind you, a TV which works while unplugged- that's worth having, save a fortune.

There are forums where you can ask for advice (from believers)

MargaretR, as it happens I'm married to a 'chalice' and I personally have seen and experienced things which would give you the shivers.
However I still believe there are rational explanations for these things. We just can't find them(and I've tried).
I just can't class 'ghosts' as rational.

MargaretR 07-06-2012 17:37

Re: Housing estate off whinney hill
 
I have had psychic experiences too, but make no claims about knowing how to prevent them (if that is what you want).

Some experiences can be interpreted as attempts at messages.
I know most people experience fear, but when you accept the 'paranormal' as 'normal', fear doesn't arise.

One particular visitor I sensed as evil was told to 'pee off', and it did.:D

No Margaret I am honestly VERY open minded but as my dad said to me As far fetched as a bucketload of .... from China. Give me some books or websites to look at and I will approach them with an open mind

You will be convinced when it happens to you.

To ressurrect this thread: The tip was on northern news this morning,apparently some of the residents on Whinney Hill are complaining about smells coming from the tip.This makes me think:Somebody thought it would be a good idea to put a housing estate on this site next to the tip which had been there for 50 odd years People then buy a house on the eatate next to the tip and then wonder why there are smells!!

Neil 12-02-2013 09:35

Re: Housing estate off whinney hill
 
They probably pay less money for their houses because they are next to a smelly tip then complain about the smell

Ya it makes you wonder Dave, its like people in Ossy who buy houses on Park Lay then complain about kids and the kids playground being installed. if you buy a house opposite a park you expect it to be used by the community, its like buying a house on a main road then complaining about the traffic:rolleyes:

See this old thread
http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...ing-33045.html

There are links in it to the regulations that tip owners are required to comply with, and a phone number to use when nearby residents have problems.

Why blame the tip?
Maybe some of the ghosts have died and they're going off a bit?

Yeah but what about when Jacksons do their muck spreading at the other side of Enfield ?
No contest but at least that's only a couple of times a year.
Not good days for hanging ones smalls in the window :-)

Best thing, P.M. the mods to find out rather than fill the site with more stuff for them to delete.

Hence my test post..
Ok I did make an obscure reference to a Japanese play but I thought I had a valid post.
In essence residents have been contacted by a private company offering to represent them in action/clains to the tip for the nuisance caused. Cynic that I am I see that as "ambulance chasing"

I hope the mods don't redact or blitz this post for using the word essence :rolleyes:

I deleted your post and one it quoted because it got around the swear filter with +'s instead of the usual *'s.

Sometime I edit them, sometimes I delete them, it just depends if I am busy/on my phone/can be bothered etc.

I put a post up ages ago saying I may delete posts with swearing without letting you know.

If you have to use *'s or +'s or something else to post a word because the swear filter won't let you or you think you should blank it out then it is obviously not suitable for the site.

That's not fair - it wasn't my post that had the ++ in but Mobertol's, post 24, the one I was replying to, and that's still there...

Anyway I don't think the word we are referring to is offensive enough to need ++ or **, probably would have quoted the whole word myself, but then I'm a plain speaker as most folks on here are aware.

Ah, susie, didn't realise post 24 was the original. You see, that's what happens by joining the EU-foreigners get to break the rules, we have to keep to them!

Edited- I meant 'a different rule for wealthy, good looking English women'! Can't be too carefull.

Oops! Normally I am full of care GB ;) You even have very upstanding British initials so I understand your mistrust of all persons beyond the shores of this fair isle :D It's just that among the farming fraternity that substance is pretty much everyday stuff and it is not considered offensive...quite the contrary, it even has a high economical value, being full of methane and capable of generating energy...not to mention Nitrogen for fertilising...
As to my being wealthy -in my wildest dreams perhaps but well as they say, where there's muck there's brass. There's plenty on the farm where I live but sadly it ain't my property :rolleyes:
I do hope I won't get told off by Neil now you've pointed this out - I did send him some Karma earlier today though -perhaps it blurred his vision;)
(In my defence I can only add that I think the ++'s may have slipped in by themselves as I was pondering the Pope's decision to retire...)

Perhaps I should have said 'wealthy, good looking ex-pat women', mobertol.
I notice you deny the wealth but not the good looking bit! Fair enough. The one will do.

I remember,about 1945 or so walking a girl over Whinney Hill after Sunday school. Just off the path was a hole in the ground which I suspect was a ventilation hole for the pit below. Is the hole still there or has it been capped off. It looked mighty dangerous to me

I have heard that there are loads of flies in Summer on this estate.

Re: Housing estate off whinney hill
 
Lived there for a year and a half and no problems with flies or smells from tip. Had much worse living near jacksons farm.
Biggest problem we had was rain water running off Winney hill and flooding the garden.
