You may, but please spell my name correctly in the credits ( a lot of people don't ) - and if you could link back to my channel, that would be appreciated. I do have some other marine videos up which might interest the same people who would watch yours. 🙂
@@petermugridge27No worries, it’s for the Shieldhall herself so at the end of the video, when I put the video attributions, I’ll put your name followed by your channels tag. Will that be ok?
@@willfaulkner7389 That's perfect, thank you. Sounds like you're one of the crew or at least closely involved with Shieldhall? Must be very interesting for you. 🙂
This is absoluitely wonderful. I am a frequent traveller to Walsingham. There is something very very comforting about this video - many thanks for sharing.
Thank you; I have other videos of similar vintage on here also from my late father in law's collection. Some others include Walsingham at least in part.
Yes, the sun will always set in the west. By mid November, though, there is very little southwards shifting of the ecliptic left; much of that movement is from early August until late October.
I see. So you're saying the opposite occurs after the sun sets due west from April to July; the shifting movement of the ecliptic right picks up during that time of the year?
@@Religious_man The sun will only set due west twice a year, in late March and late September ( the exact date of these equinoxes can vary a day or two either side of the 21st due to complicated orbital mechanics ). Between the shortest day ( December 21st give or take a day or two for the same reason ) and the longest day ( June 21st +/- a day or two ) the sun will be setting slightly further north each day; between June and December slightly further south each day. For a month either side of the longest and shortest days that daily motion is very small, again to do with orbital angles and inclinations. The greatest daily motion is around the time of the equinoxes. It's rather more complicated than can be reasonably explained in the YT comments section, though - I'd suggest asking someone at your local astronomy society for a fuller explanation.
"I'd suggest asking someone at your local astronomy society for a fuller explanation." No, because like you, they will mention the Gregorian calendar ----- a so-called solar calendar that a bunch of degenerate roman fools made up according to their imaginations and not by observations and they deliberately left out our moon which is a significant part of our solar system and gives us our months, not just our days. Men like them were poor time-keepers. It's no wonder their empire collapsed. They were too full of themselves. I rather go around asking more questions about the reality of time.
The sailing dinghy at 6:11 has a sail number of 986 - I don't think it's a Mirror Dinghy, but if it was it would date it to 1964. Hopefully others may be knowledgeable!
Thank you, but it's probably not that type of dinghy. In terms of narrowing down the date, I think we need to look at 1959 or 1960. Someone on the UK rail forum points out that the type of diesel unit seen at the end of the clip was introduced in 1957 and the line closed to passengers in November 1960. The livery of some of the carriages suggests 1958. Now, it looks fairly summery in the film, so the latest possible date could be summer 1960. I am personally inclined towards 1960 as my late father in law's 13th birthday was in May that year and it occurs to me that as the 13th was a big birthday in those days, becoming a teenager, it would be more logical that this would have been when he was given a cine camera. Had he been using a borrowed camera, which is entirely possible for earlier dates, he probably would not have got away with shooting an entire reel in one go would he?
@@petermugridge27 Agreed - it's possible someone with more knowledge of dinghies might recognise the sail markings (Mirrors had a different logo above the number) and be able to find a closer date, although having read the comments properly I can see that you've already narrowed it down considerably. I had use of a 'Standard 8' cine camera in around 1972 but never really captured anything useful with it! We spent a few days staying on Alton Station earlier in the month and it's fascinating to see what used to be on that part of the line. Best of luck.
1:59 is at Alton (Towers) Station, on the Island platform, looking back towards the steps up to the road bridge. The building at road level is a wartime defensive position of some sort. The platform itself, steps and bridge still exist as do the platform and buildings on the other side - which you can stay in! Thanks for sharing!
I recognise the junction where the PMT bus picks up on the A53 in Endon, between Hanley and Leek. The tram seen at the first stop is Sheffield Corporation Tramways (looks like no. 218), which would make sense being roughly midway between Endon and York. The two AEC Reliance coaches are 764CVT and 765CVT. 765 wasn't delivered until 1962, dating the film to after that time.
The three Concordes, in order of landing were: G-BOAE (returning from Edinburgh), G-BOAF (back from a supersonic jaunt around the Bay of Biscay) and G-BOAG (operating the last Concorde BA002 from New York, the very last paying-passenger Concorde flight).
Sorry, what I have already published of Concorde on that day is all that I filmed on that day with the exception of a couple of minutes of a private party on the pub which only shows members of a Concorde group - there is no other aircraft footage from that day from me.
I have this video of the triple landing that day here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1zE_kIJ3VdI.html but I am afraid that is all I filmed. The only bits I edited out were some scenes from a private function at The Green Man pub commemorating the occasion showing the people who were in attendance.
Thank you for sharing ... I know the line well ... the castle on the hill is Alton Castle Boarding School (now used as an Adventure Centre for disadvantaged kids), where I went as a boy in the 50’s and early 60’s. Cotton College and Denstone were also boarding schools. Not quite Harry Potter - but magical all the same!
Thanks for uploading this. We travelled from Liverpool on the train to visit Grandma in Alton. Steam Train as far as Leek or Uttoxeter. Then a red coach to Alton. An amazing trip around 1962. I'll ask an older relative which station was still open.
Thank you, yes - Fatima would make perfect sense when you consider that the vast majority of the rest of his archive is of pilgrimages to Lourdes and Walsingham - I'd certainly expect that they would have done Fatima at least once, so that's a very useful suggestion.
I wish the line was still there and hadn't been closed. A better way of going to the Theme park at Alton towers that didn't result in a massive amount of car traffic through the villages.
To travel to Alton towers by train could still be a possibility if the mothballed Stoke to Leekbrook junction line was reinstated then reinstate through Oakamoor tunnel and into Alton towers station, surely the amount of congestion from road traffic would make councils more popular if they funded the project and a discounted entry price to the theme park if they traveled by train, it isn't a far fetched idea.
I have a DVD somewhere of footage from the footplate of a steam engine passing Rudyard lake. I don't know how I'd stand if I tried to upload it as I don't know if it's copyrighted or not
Copper works in Oakamoor, cottages still there, signal box now a home. Walk the old trackbed now to Ramblers Retreat biggest lemon meringue in the area.
Wonderful footage. You ought to send it to B&R Video, he will add a soundtrack and use it on one of his excellent dvd's. As far as dating the film, as a gardener I notice (as your dad did) the oxeye daisies growing trackside. These, which are midsummer flowering, as well as the long grass on embankments, and the dark broad leaves of the trees, leads me to believe the filming was done in late July.
Great footage. Leek gas works closed in 64 and it looks shut, no smoke. Great views of Bosley locks then North Rode junction, Macclesfield Moss peat works Macclesfield Central and Hibel Road stations, the view of the track in between the two with the DMU in the loop is rare I think and will be much loved in the town alright. Thanks for posting this, always been interested in the railways in the old North Staffs Railway area. My quest is to find pictures or footage of the line from Congleton Brunswick Warf through Biddulph to Stoke its even rarer than the Leek line, which apart from Alton Towers station is seldom seen from other viewpoints.
Really enjoyed this, especially from Leek via Rudyard Lake (where the steam railway still runs - just uploaded a video from 2009) - Rushton and Bosley into Macclesfield Central. I myself tend to agree on the 1957-59-60 timeframe.
