I'm from Scotland, and I just discovered your channel this afternoon (came across one of your crime videos). I've always been fascinated with history, and I really like the eclectic mix of topics you cover in your videos!
Thank you, as much as its not what you are really meant to do on here I didn't want to just do videos on a singular kind of topic there is so much history around here, we even had a local lord who secretly supported the Jacobites
Arkansas, USA. I came across your channel while viewing your video on Henry Kable and Susannah Holmes. Their son, John Kable, is my great-great-great-grandfather through my mother's side. I was looking to learn more about them, and your video didn't disappoint. Thanks for doing what you're doing.
Nice to meet you, You might find it interesting we have a village called California in Suffolk founded in 1849. it's about the only example of some where in Britain being named after a place in America and not the other way round that I can think of.
Originally from Hornchurch in Essex. I was posted to RAF Neatishead in 1985, and lived at Coltishall for a couple of years, then married and got my own place in Martham. Stayed in the Borough of Great Yarmouth ever since. I showed your channel to an Aussie friend and he's subscribed too.
I'm an Anglophile from the US Pacific Northwest with a deep interest in history, Medieval England especially. I spent some time in Norwich during my last visit to England & loved it. Yes, I brought back souvenirs from Colman's, lol. Your videos are nicely done, just the right length and feature the human interest stories I enjoy.
That's great to hear, I'm glad you liked the city so much, so many tourist just do London and that all nice that you decided to explode, sadly Colman's as now stopped operation in the city.
My grandfather was a "smutterman" at the Colman's factory in the early 1900's.... A videos worth in its own right I think the Colman's story.... ( A smutterman is involved with sifting the grades of a ground flour or meal ) ...
From Thetford, worked in Norwich and studied History at the college and now living in Peru and these are very good when its a bit mental here. Randomly suggested to me by RU-vid.
Having moved to Suffolk from London , I saw your site scrolling RU-vid & thought why not , saw I subscribed .That was the best thing I’ve done for learning local history A big thank you & keep up the excellent work
I'm from north Yorkshire but live in oz. Been binge watching your videos today as I've just found this channel and it's making me feel all nostalgic for old Blighty.
I suspect the RU-vid algorithm directed me to you as I subscibed to John Atkins's channel on Norwich history. I'm from Wymondham and have now subscribed to your channel - I like what you are doing and wish you all the best.
I have an interest in history, particularly British history and your channel was suggested a few days ago. I am in America and only recently learned of an ancestor coming from Norwich.
Just found your channel today, and subbed after the second video!!! I'm still relatively new to England, and I love learning about all the history, and finding all these awesome places to visit (when we're allowed to!!). I'm in Orpington, in Kent. Got a suggestion to watch "The Tabernacle Street Murder", and clicked on from there! Love history, especially love crime history, but also really love hearing the less-famous stories. Cheers, and keep it up, my friend!!
I live in Essex and have a love of history, came across your Chanel after looking at vogs on Kings Linn. Have good friends from Norfolk and visit when ever I get the chance. Love the originality of the subject material, and the detailed research you put in to each episode. Congratulations on 500, I'm sure it will double.
I'm from Dorset but half my family are Dutch so I'm really fascinated by the Dutch diaspora to Norfolk. I have always been fascinated by history since I first learned to read and it's not just one time and place that fascinates me it's all times and places. I discovered your channel because RU-vid recommend one of your true crime videos and I really enjoyed it. I would be fascinated to learn more about the history of the Dutch in Norfolk if you think that that's something you'd cover.
37, Wilson St. . . . Actually not. Thetford though. I just found you recently. It's wonderful to have somebody doing videos about our own Norfolk and East Anglia history finally! Well done and please keep going. I am looking forward to seeing more of your work and I'm enjoying working my way through your most interesting videos to date. Thank you!!!
You can thank the TV for always missing us that inspired me to start, the amount of shows about Yorkshire and Cornwall seem endless but East Anglia always seems to be skipped or brushed over in about 2 minuets.
@@alittlebitofhistory ye, how true is that! It's just so nice that you've decided to fill in the gaps* which all the big boys (& girls) have sadly missed over the years. *Gaps . . . All the fantastic history of our East Anglian Norfolk which includes this being where the first coins of the realm were made, here in Thetford, aswell as the first real monarch of Brittania, Boudica and much, much more! Keep up your good work! If the Internet had been around about 10 years earlier, I would like to have researched our area and probably tried to do a similar thing as you've done myself but I couldn't have done as good a job as you've done. All the best mate, from Tim, your Thetford fan.
I'm from Los Angeles, CA. Thanks for introducing me to this very interesting history. I found it very improbable that I would find it so interesting so thank you. You've got great style!
I'm from Stamford, Lincolnshire- just scrolling through RU-vid and came across the Gt Yarmouth Bridge tragedy which led me to all your other vids. They're just my thing and fascinating so I'm subscribed. Glad I found you on here and looking forward to the next vid!!
From Norfolk since the age of 4. Loving the content and coverage of our richly layered past! So much that has never been talked about beyond Kett. I’ve been reading an old RJ Unstead history book to my kid (good old-school material) and it mentioned Norfolk pirates during the Wars of York and Lancaster. The thought of a farmer with boarding axes and cutlasses seems a bit far fetched, but there may be a story there, somewhere... the problem being what kind of material is available to explore it.
Interesting I always find that Kett is over looked and history tend to be just Nelson Nelson Nelson. I will have to look into that sounds like it could be good.
Hi! From Western Montana! I just discovered your channel today. Being from the U.S. the only case we hear about consistently is that of Jack the Ripper. Hearing about a wide variety of other cases and people is interesting.
Hi there , only discovered your channel last week when watching the the one about the Thorpe Rail disaster (this was mentioned on a Video 125 video I have on Norfolk railways and thought I might look to see if there was anything on You Tube on it). I've now subscribed, already watched five or six more). By the the way I'm from Peterborough so not very far far really. Keep up the good work.
Regards from Antwerp, 🇧🇪. I’m sure I don’t need to add the name of my country to the flag and city name. On how I got to your channel, well I seeking information on wrestling as it is not really known over here. But my grandfather who was born in 1895 organised a few fairs in Antwerp with wrestling and speed roller skating as main events, way back after the First World War.
I lived in Norwich ( Lakenham ) for many years, and now live in Devon ( near Barnstaple ). I was always interested in the stories of Billy Bluelight... Are you going to present a video about him? I am fascinated by learning about local history. I am surprised a little that you have not yet made a film about Robert Kett and the rebellion, or, Elizabeth Fry, or Edith Cavell... All somewhat unheard of hero's and heroines. Just a thought. Great videos by the way!
I have done Billy Bluelight and Elizabeth Fry, if you look back though my videos or on the Norfolk playlist. I have started an Edith Cavell script, as for Ketts rebellion I am thinking of doing something special for that, bigger than a regular video, so watch this space for that.
I'm assuming you mean Eccles-on-Sea, I can't think of anything from the top of my head but I have very long list of ideas id be shocked if it want mentioned somewhere in there.
@@rogerdutton6412 I had to ask just in case you meant the one near Manchester people seem to misunderstand the point of the channel at times and ask for things outside of the area had a couple ask when I'm going to cover Jack the Ripper. I will look even if I can only find a small thing I am going to do a few ones that don't have enough info for their own video together at some point.
@@alittlebitofhistory Fully understand, no dramas. Just a thought if you do have a look, I know Eccles coves a wider are than it seems.......Lessingham, Eccles, Cart gap and Sea Palling all came up in stories years ago. Happisburgh was also a favourite. Good luck!
