Lord Clifford Hume of Hougun Manor, has been showing tourists around London for over 25 years.
Join him every week as he shows you around one of the world's most historic cities. From the pageantry of Buckingham Palace and the maritime history of Royal Greenwich to the world's smallest police station, Lord Hume will always show you something interesting that perhaps you didn't know before!
Great video! Harry Beck's design is truly iconic and changed the way we navigate the London Tube. If you're interested in learning more, check out "The Creation Of The Harry Beck Tube Map - Hand Drawn History
maybe you can tell me why streets have no road names. If you are looking for a road such as Goulston Street, that it.s not got a name on its road. That between Whitechapel and Aldgate that nothing is signed. Awful area to know where you are going.
Thanks for that. I thought it was empty and was only used when someone was willing to sit in it and watch the river rise and fall. I didn't know it was still working and had instruments in it. I thought it was obsolete.
There is a lot more to the Putney Debates than your very superficial view.However, I understand this is a bit of a travel log.Those who are really interested in political discourse should listening to th BBCs Melvyn Bragg discussion of the debates especially Thomas Rainsboroghs ideas of democracy.Radical at the time but not fully excepted in all democracies.His short paragrahy in his debates contribution should be emblazoned on every Parliamentary institution in the world!
Della Farrant Did a fantastic interview regarding this pub and Highgate here on RU-vid quite quite fascinating thank you so much for sharing your video too
Say what you will out there, populators of the "interweb" matrix, but I can't get enough of this sort of knowledge/history!!! Endlessly fascinating!! Well done, thank you & PLEASE keep the videos coming!!! I humbly implore you (I couldn't bring myself to use beseech), more of the same please!! Though not under your thumb, gems like these may foster being wrapped around your little finger (doubt I'm going out on a limb when I assume those references or hints for possible future content aren't lost on you)...
I watched your great video on the Mark from the States Channel today. My family and I visited Warwick a while ago and thought we had seen quite a bit of it, but your history tour has shown us there is so much more to see. It's a lot of work to do a video like this so I just wanted you to know how much it is appreciated. Thanks to you we will visit Warwick again.
I hate to burst your bubble but the youngest is: The youngest winner of the VC was 15 years and three months old. Hospital Apprentice Andrew Fitzgibbon, Indian Medical Establishment, won the VC on 21 August 1860 at the storming of the North Taku fort during the Second China War (1857-62). Throughout the fighting he repeatedly attended to wounded men while under fire.
Septimius Severus Was an African warrior Emperor from north Africa. He have the then British governor built the Walls of Roman London after the governor told him Britain had been attacked from the north. He came to Britain in A.D 208. He is arguably the most important Roman emperor who came to Britain 🇬🇧 Don't distort history, who ever you are!!!
Greetings from Melbourne, the city that had the largest cable tram network in the world. Sadly, all the lines were electrified or closed, the last cable tram ran in 1940.
See also the Royal Exhibition Building in the Exhibition Gardens in Melbourne. Built to hold the Melbourne Exhibition of 1880.. The building is still used for exhibitions. The Victorian government built grand buildings like this, on royalties (duties) from massive gold mining on the gold fields of Ballarat and Bendigo - from -1851 to the 1880’s. Example -the state’s population grew from 40,000 in 1850 to 400,000 by 1860. (Kym in Darwin Australia).
My great grandfather was Walter Reynolds Jr, who was the managing director of Globe Films which was headquartered in Flicker Alley. Amongst its claims to fame were the infamous 'fake' Titanic newsreel and a catastrophic fire in this street. Definitely planning to visit this place one day.
And after automating lights (making men homeless and jobless) they have now replaced perfectly working mercury floating Fresnel gear with equipment that costs thousands. The historical gear they got rid of is worth millions, still worked perfectly well, and had another hundred years of service to go. But Trinity House gets a tax break for the price of what wAs taken out, even if they replace with cheaper. Disgusting.
