The visions of the Victorian era are so much better than todays. What went wrong.?

@b00ts4ndc4ts Месяц назад

Greed, in a word. The top 1% want more and this is what happens.

@paulwalker9262 Год назад

Absolutely brilliant series of Shipley love your before and after photo's

@jetsons101 Год назад

Darren, another outstanding watch.... The image at 7:00 would be a perfect Postcard or even blowup, frame and hang on a wall. Again, the King of photo-fades, they sure bring the story to life. Darren your name should be "Darren the Historian." mike

Thanks

@KeithHambidge Год назад

Definitely agree a modern version would be a massive hit

@tonydalton6756 Год назад

Everyday is a school day. Thanks Darren a very good series again.

@dcallan812 Год назад

My bet is the iron anchors at the start are held in with lead. They would drill a hole drop in the anchor hen pour molten lead in the hole to fill any gaps, Great video 2x👍

@nixtax3526 Год назад

Brilliant, used to explore the glen as a kid in the 1970’s totally oblivious to all this lol

Been so many years since i used to visit here can't have been older than 10 so 24 years ago!

@kevincross9206 Год назад

Agree with you, getting a modern toboggan run there would be brilliant, and more than a nod to the past…

@paullister4224 11 месяцев назад

Watching this video and seeing my dog running towards you and seeing my kids playing on a rope swing in the background is mental. My wife said she remembers a man walking round the woods stopping looking round and walking off

@AdventureMe 11 месяцев назад

Haha. Small world. I defo remember the dog.

@FeoragForsyth Год назад

There were definitely other Aerial Flights at Southport, Crystal Palace, Cardiff, and Munich, and claims of a few more too, including Berlin and Vienna. Stansfield himself went off to look for gold in Alaska in 1898 and wasn't heard from again after that.

Thanks for the info

I live up on crookfarm caravan park, baildon moor. such a beautiful setting with great views of both urban bradford but also the countryside and the Glen, great to be based around so much positive history! I never actually realised they were these rides once up on the glen, thought it was just the tram way! Amazing to think that these rides and other attractions around salts mill were really there only entertainment

@roberthardy2013 Год назад

Played on them myself as a kid. I used to live in Eldwick, just in view on the aerial shots and used to help out with the Glen Tramway. The old dodgem cars were across the path from the top tramway station, where the new house is. It’s only a few years since that was demolished.

@martinnaylor Год назад

With me being local in Saltaire absolutely loved your Shipley series Darren.

@angelsone-five7912 Год назад

Nice one Darren, shame about the accident.

@johnreynolds5103 Год назад

@oddsandwindsocks5905 Год назад

Bloody enjoying this series Darren. Love how you found the steel and holes in the rocks .then pic fade the scratch on the rock to show your spot on. Please keep this sort of content coming.

@darrenhowell7855 Год назад

You said that it was the Glen that got you into the love of history. For me it was thre school Easter holidays in Northumberland and I never looked back.

@shirleylynch7529 Год назад

@litz13 Год назад

It's interesting that you profile this, because your last video was the funicular railway. Had this toboggan run been built with a funicular railway (where the two cars balance each other) the accident likely would never have happened.

@jackhargreaves6498 Год назад

Very well done , it took me over 3 years to tie the old 'Circular Railway up with a picture

@paulashton9705 Год назад

Great video Darren. Really enjoyed these. As a direct result of the Part 1 video a couple of weeks ago I took a walk from East Morton, on the canal to Roberts Park in Saltaire and had a little ride on the tram, for the first time in probably 30-35 years. Brought back a few memories from being a kid. I had no knowledge of the rides mentioned in this one, so will definitely be heading back to the locations on this video for a mooch around!

@AdventureMe Год назад

Fantastic!

@christopherjordan4812 Год назад

I’ve been going there for 30 odd years and never knew the rides you have mentioned existed or seen the works associated. I thought the rides where just a few swings and an Helter Skelter. Well researched Darren.

@douglasthompson296 Год назад

Heyas Darren, I was blissfully unaware of the toboggan run and Ariel flight history when I was with my brother and cousins using the Glen rock faces as a playground. I remember the trees didnt seem as grown as they do now and the water way into the dam was always on show. I eventually bought a small caravan at Dobrudden(?) Farm overlooking the Glen. Back then it was a couple fields with small tourer type caravans and a cafe in the farmhouse. All pleasant memories. Cheers DougT

@egonrhoodie2745 4 месяца назад

Darren I'm also intrigued by the history of fun fairs! Blessings and happy thoughts!🤳😇🙏🎡🎢🌈🌅💥

@stu73ke Год назад

Great videos. We used to love going to Shipley Glen as a family. Was lucky enough to go on the Aerial Glide a few times, never realised how extensive the attractions were until now.

@Andydwyer99 5 месяцев назад

Excellent stuff, I lived just over the hill near Baildon Golf Club and during the 60’s and 70’s Shipley Glen was my playground ( well one of them ). Often wondered about the steel and square holes in the rocks. Thanks !!

@roberthardy2013 Год назад

It would be great to have a new one there! Another great spot would be from White Wells above Ilkley, just on the other side of the moor. Great detective work there, learned something new and at 76 years old that ain’t easy !

@AdventureMe Год назад

That would be cool!

@UKDroneAdventures Год назад

Brilliant, I also wondered what those bits of metal were as a kid …. Now I know 😊

@joncrawford3485 Год назад

Ok, how freaky was that? At 8m46 there's comparison pictures between the old & current rollercoaster location, with that rock having a person in almost the same position on both photos?

@mcmarky1985 Год назад

Really liked this series! Brilliant that you could find where these two rides were and that something was still there after all these years! There was something similar at Devils Dyke near Brighton with a Victorian funicular and a similar aerial flight, well worth a visit as believe there are remains there too. Views up there are also stunning.

Love the research that goes into these, all something I know nothing about and find fasinating.

have a recci at sunny vale pleasure gardens,Long, long gone near hipperholme,,it was the Alton towers of the day up to the50-s,nothing there of course,used to be a country club,and a stock car circuit latterly,but in my early childhood was a great theme park of the day,can you imagine that nr. halifax today

@cedarcam 7 месяцев назад

@@edwinturner1149 I used to go there as a kid to see Go Kart racing and later the stock cars. A few things remained when I first went from some of the rides and most of the frame of one ride was still there, either dodgems or a waltzer. There were riding stables not far away where we played in one of the open coaches from the miniature railway, I always wondered where that came from and it was years after when I found out. I think Darren is going to go there one day He mentioned the place on another video. There was a little video on here years ago showing boats on one of the lakes, could still be there

@nigeltift6335 11 месяцев назад

@JP_TaVeryMuch Год назад

5:38 So the attraction relied on the novelty of flying through the air in a wagon with a couple of your mates and nothing else? It didn't go from somewhere of interest to somewhere else of interest, it would appear. Such innocent times and how different to our blasé "been there done that" attitude today.

@JP_TaVeryMuch Год назад

12:20 Top banana! Your commitment to detail and the pretty much forensic exploration of the sites you visit is shown magnificently here when you describe the possibly hundred year old trees as "new saplings." If ever a man was lost in his train of thought... Brilliant!

@AdventureMe Год назад

I know. I don't realise

@simongee8928 Год назад

Probably wrought iron Darren as it works well in tension unlike cast iron which would have been too brittle for the purpose although it works sell in compression. The holes would have been drilled, the anchor pins inserted and then the space filled with molten lead to secure it once the lead had cooled and set.

The two benches are a good guide to where the start of the cable car was, as you captured on your video. Great work fading in the before and after shots too. Did you read the peoples names and dates that are carved into the rocks? Some of them go back years.

Hi the hole was rock drilled and the iron fixing placed in to the hole followed by molten lead as to grout the fixing within the hole, as we can see a very effective method indeed
