@@funnyvidsandalilsinging7713 if you can get to Leeds read my comment below about Kirkstall, it's an easily accessible area and lots to see when you start looking into it.
@@funnyvidsandalilsinging7713 I used to hence driving past the old Whitbread brewery...loved the smell of it. Don't forget the history around Bramley Baths too
We can't save everything, in the news today if Covid is in your house they can demolish it. With covid arriving by plane and dinghy daily we could all be sat on a big pile of rubble soon.
Superb! West yorkshire my home county. Wonderful places hidden away. Will check out some of AdventureMe videos, hope to find a video of Balliff Bridge where i used to live and play on the old pickle disused railway.
This would make an amazing series 0n the BBC ,it could be called "Walks of the Roses" I love the banter aspect and learning about the north's industrial past from two passionate northern blokes is amazing .
I realise that I am commenting on a 3-year-old video, but I am binge watching all you past posts, Martin. All first class. What a great collaboration from my two favourite RU-vidrs. AdventureMe (Darren), and yourself. It doesn't get better than this. Quality.
Guys like you,Patrick Dickinson and the Whitewicks to name a few are brilliant for what you do - you keep the history of this great land well and truly alive.
it's amazing how fast the greenery takes over when looking at the old B & W photos. Everything is so green and lush wherever you go, must be all the rain. That item in the mill race looked liked it could have been a stub-up for a valve for controlling the flow of water somewhere. Looks like a lot of thought went into the layout of the TITUS mill, a happy worker is a good worker. At the Milner Field house the cellar must have been over built to be still in sound shape after having the house razed on top of it. Another great Martin video, think I'll go get a cup of tea and play a game of billiards, no milk-no sugar. Thanks again for your work, you two are a good team.
@@padraicodomhnall2146 how true, just watched a show on the Chernobyl disaster of 1986 and the city for the workers is also being overtaken by greenery.
I hope you got your passport stamped lol. Shipley Glen tramway brings back childhood memories of days out on the Glen with my mum and dad. Great video and cheers Darren.
As a Pudsey boy born and bred a right of passage when I was a kid was to walk through greenside tunnel by yourself and your mates would meet you at the other end. Many school holidays spent playing in and around the tunnel and on the embankment and riding dirt bikes as a teenager. Paid it a visit with my wife a couple of years ago and went through a small tunnel under the embankment which the stream flows through. The security door to the tunnel was open too so I had a wander in for old times sake!
What a treat to see the area I lived and played in as a child. My friend works at Fulneck school, and I used to play in Greenside tunnel many many years ago! Very scary it was! There is a group trying to save Greenside tunnel from being filled in. PS... Milk in second and I was born in Pudsey. Great video Martin.
How could anyone think of filling it in. They have no respect for history. Either open it up as a cycle/walking path or leave it alone. No need to fill it in.
Oooh, The War of the Roses on Martin's channel! But Martin and Darren that was wonderful. The deserted miniature railway and Titus Salt's legacy. What a day out. Gentlemen, thank you both.
What a fantastic video that Saltaire Village looked lovely and the remains of the house was superb you can imagine that house would have had the best of the best
Wow Martin think that is one of your best videos. Just about everything you could possibly want to see was there. Darren is a gem taking you out. Even a mosaic floor which would probs look beautiful cleaned up tho just to see was fabulous. Thanks so much for taking me along. Please stay safe
Wow my old stomping grounds i used to go to that pub in saltaire and Shipley glen my gran lived near there you have brought memories flooding back thank you martin 😎
That was wonderful. I sure miss Yorkshire, I spent quite a bit of time there a few years ago. I mostly was in the Ripponden, Barkisland area but roamed everywhere I could get by walking, train or bus. I would have loved having a tour like this. Saltire truly was impressive, and Titus was ahead of his time for what he did. Patrick Bronte was also a person who cared deeply for the people of his parish and worked tirelessly to clean up the waterways and change the way grave stones were placed as he knew it affected the water conditions that led to even more deaths. I’d love to see a tour of the area, even though I was there many times. It’s beautiful in Haworth.
A bit of everything there Martin, plenty of variety. What a difference it makes having someone with you who knows the place. It was a bit of a coincedence, you crossing the Pennines just as I finished the chapter on Leeds and Pudsey in the book I'm reading. I'd love to know a bit more about that miniature railway; it looks like quite a project.
Wow !, you’ve done it again !. I remember seeing a piece on TV a few years ago about Saltaire and Sir Titus Salt, pretty sure his statue stands outside the front of his mill. I’ve wanted to visit this place since then, fascinating place with great history, thank you for bringing us a little closer and showing these wonderful finds. Thank you and Darren for the tour, great knowledge, great history and real presentation with no nonesence. A real shame about Titus Jnr and his mansion but, a credit to those who toiled to build it back then that so much remains. Mosaic floor was beautiful and should be preserved somehow, such a shame but an awesome sight to see. Thank you Martin and Darren, your channels should have WAY more subscribers.
You’ve done it again ! I remember the Salts house before it was demolished , my uncle had a weekend chalet nearby and we used to go and play all around the house and grounds .1957 was the last time I was there
What a great day out that was....thanks for bringing us along. Imagine if have a time-lapse camera that went back hundreds of years. Nature - development - decay - and then back to nature again. Come back in a couple of hundred years and who knows what will be standing right where you were having a cuppa! Love the English countryside, great music...thanks Martin!
The old house was sort of fascinating, spooky and sad all at the same time - I can see why you were affected by it. I have heard of Saltaire but didn't realise where it was or how much still exists. I will seek it out next time we are up that way. Great video as always Martin, keep up the good work. Any live sessions in the pipeline? Off to check out Adventureme now.
I live down the road from Saltaire village and it so beautiful!! Full of history! I didnt know until the other year that under the streets of Saltaire are tunnels. The mill workers used them to get to work. They did a tour of them for the first time the other year when Saltaire festival was on, worth a visit to the world heritage site 😊
Twenty minute drive and you could have seen mann damn footbridge in Cleckheaton, which gave access to a train goods yard. Plus they are 2 disused lines both of which are now cycle paths, making them accessible. One leads to Bradford, the other Gildersome, then on to Leeds. The building behind you when you introduced Saltaire was the one I went to college back in 2009, one day per week.
Yeah I would of been straight over that fence Martin and loved it, I like a challenge, haha. Its a while since I used my ladder, that tunnel would of been perfect, and it looks a inpressive tunnel, perhaps one day. Loving your channel Martin, you,ve come a long way and deserve all your views and subscribers, and we all know a lot more about Manchesters history now, thanks for the mention, made my day, all the best Pat
Thanks for this Martin. An excellent video as usual. It's as though the house was saying - "I'm not meant to be destroyed!" - but nobody was taking any notice!
Saltaire is wonderful and definitely worth a visit. The moravian village looks interesting never been or heard of that. The embankment history fascinating and the demolished house, what a pity such a lot of work to create it only to be used for such a short time, glad Damien took you there. Great video, very enjoyable, cheers Martin and Damien and the little mouse of the house. X
Thanks for this Martin it brought back many memories for me, I'm a Pudsey lad and walked through the Greenside tunnel many times. In the late sixties Greenside station and its goods yards were my playground! If that wasn't enough my family later moved to a house near Shipley Glen and I remember walking up the hill beside the tramway from Saltaire regularly. I've been thinking of going back there, no excuse now., it's a great area to explore.
What a cracking trip, that house was so melancholy, what a tragedy that a property like that was destroyed but it happened a lot and it is in itself an emotive and beautiful place. Thank you for taking us along.
Best vlog for ages Mart, I work at a company within the mill at Saltaire so it was all familiar. And what a find the ruins were, good on ya for getting in the cellar really interesting, oh it’s my birthday today also👍🏴
Brilliant video.. welcome to Yorkshire!! I used to live in Saltaire, so know Miller field very well.. I now live in Leeds and have recently visited Fulneck... Was great to see you going around those places...
Taking me back to my childhood and places we went on Sunday days out. My father also liked to use the binoculars to look at distant mill chimneys and try and work out where they were and go visit them Not sure you can do that now. The other thing my parents were very interested in were the Brontes - and all the places associated with them (not just in Haworth).
Great video Martin. I have always been really interested in any old ruins/buildings whenever we are out walking so i can understand why you love it so much. Definitely look into Adventure me.
Fascinating video Martin, that is also my old playground, I was born on the kitchen table at 44 Moorhouse Place (now known as Delph end) in Pudsey, and ranged up and down the valley that the viaduct was built to cross. I have a pic of my parents somwhere, standing under the bridge that goes through the viaduct, Just where you were standing! That would be Tyersal beck you were paddling in! John Warners remarks below also tell of an old Pudsey tradition of walking down the valley and picknicing, and blackberrying on a Sunday. There was a mill in the bottom of the valley where the trekking stables is now, called Gibraltar mill, and the road which led down from waterloo rd to the valley bottom was Gibraltar road, Those Sunday outings were known as "Goin d'ahnt't Gib" The lady who ran the little shop, off licence and unoficcial pub at Delph end was Cider Annie, or Annie Jones, who wrote a book about this area, and her life there, which was called "Valley of Memories" The earlier name of Moorhouse Place comes from the previous owner of the shop, Mrs Moorhouse!

Well done Martin and Darren, This has been another superb production and the music worked very well too. It's lovely looking back and getting a glimpse of how we think things were. Times were hard back then but how nice seeing someone looking after his workforce, we must visit Titus Salt's Saltaire when this virus is gone, it looks so interesting. Well done and thanks. Ian and Angie.
Brilliant Martin ... weve travelled to saltaire myself and Lee ......on a day out loved it so impressed by the housing, large buildings noticed lots of lions on plinths ..the weir and park .. theres a statue of titus in that park i dont know if you saw it ..Anyway that was truly a great video ..Thanks for sharing ...
Interesting video there Martin that cellar you went into near the end of the video I wonder could it been an ice house there was one in Worsley Woods it was similar to that where you could see some ruins, the building in Worsley was quite old it belonged to the Earl of bridgemere but then it got left it was used after that as a makeshift hospital for the wounded soldiers brilliant video Martin & thanks to Darren showing you around Bradford 👍
This brought back some memories, back in the 90s in the summer I would walk along the canal from Apperley Bridge to Saltaire (about 4 miles) with my family and have a picnic on the way, we would play in the park and ride the tram to the top of the Glen and go on the dodgems and in the fair and finish off with some food and an ice cream on the rocks before heading for the bus back home. There is a local legend about that house, people say it's cursed and believe that taking anything from the house will also bring the curse with you and bring death upon your home, don't know if that legend is still circulating, but it did encourage me and my mates t hang around in the basement and tell ghost stories. I should have some pics of the abandoned dodgems on my old hard drive I will dig them out and send you them via Facebook in the morning.
Wow this is a treat for a Sunday night as usual interesting places you say they are fantastic lovely places to visit. Old historical building and water and underground. You can't finish a video without going underground and that cellar was brilliant and the remains of the flooring. It's was a massive building when you look at it in the pictures. You can't imagine the work involved in building such a place. You knock it down and the cellar remains intact shows you how strong it was build just fantastic. A thank you to your fellow RU-vidr who I shall subscribe and follow. Where next will you be I will tune in next week and find out. Stay safe.
What an episode! As my aunt would say! "Choc-A-Bloc" with great scenery and information! Too bad that great old house and conservatory were not saved. The Whitewicks would love that embankment and abandoned railroad line! Thanks Martin and Darren!
@@yorkiepudd7404 by eck did the sun shine last weekend and all! Was a pleasure as always to be over the border, but could be doing without the sunburn today 😂
