Anyone noticed that in Disneyland, in Star Wars Land, there's a space ship up on top of a building with an engine that sounds exactly like a class 20?
I noticed on the drone footage that there is a pond or lake on Spurn point that I never knew about. Do you have any information about it or does anyone else know anything about it at all
Technically it's not actually on Spurn Point, but in Kilnsea. I think it might be part of a wildlife wetland area.
Your really good at this TV lark! Do give up the day job!
Interesting, thank you. I would've appreciated a sketch or artist's impression of how the dyke would've looked in it's heyday. Were the trees present, for example, or just bare, steep slopes?
I honestly have no idea, I would imagine that would have kept it clear, though, in order to minimise cover for any invaders. I know that it was customary with later fortifications to cut back woodlands so that nobody could get too close without being seen.
Its nice to see the funny side toodaloo :))
I used to love scrambling all over Snuffy with my mates back then on motorbikes!!
Thank you for this. As a 50s Hull kid I've been to most of these places, but never understood them? Thanks to you I have a much better understanding now. That big tunnel and the air vents on the fields always baffled me esp'. So once again a big thank you, my headache has finally gone! John
I always have fond memories of walking to pier from Hessle rd, jumping on the ferry to new holland then train to Cleethorpes for a day out.😊
Excellent videos. A great trawl of knowledge. Nice to hear the Hull dialect.
This was great, a very uplifting piece of viewing history. Hats off to you sire!
A brilliant series thank you for your work ❤
Enjoyed this film, thank you. As a kid i can remember swimming in that warm water :) Well done. John.
I used to go to the 'zoo; pub as I remember, Iam just an old folkie who played for years the song 'Zoological gardens' (so I said to me mot etc etc lol) Thank you for this Mr. H. Nerd!
Fantastic. heard a wonderful sound from my bedroom and looked out the window........online sleuthing took me to 'Pathfinder Tours' and then bought me here. A Brilliant picture of the Britain of my youth. Thank you.
I'm a biker . Every time we went to Hull i😮n the 80s it ended in fighting. Nowts changed over history 😆
My dad was a bobber on St Andrews dock, (RIP dad) I worked on fish dock in my 20s. Iam 66 now. I played music with all the musicians in that band shown -Les Ward, Mick MgGarry (RIP Mick). 3 day million air, says it all really.....fantastic days ile never forget. God Bless to all. Fantastic people. Great documentary, Thanks.
It's a time and place that defined so many lives forever.
Anyone else spot the sweet wild bunnies at 10.40? 🐇🐇
A fantastic education for me about Sculcoates that I know of but have never been to. The presentation with the narration with the many difficult facts of poverty with the high production values is very impressive. I believe that I can now understand why my Great Grandparents left Sculcoates for Sydney, Australia in the 1880's and where I live. I am standing on their shoulders and I am very thankful.
My Dad says him, my grandparents and my aunt went across the Humber on The Waverley when he was younger
I was at hull grammar 1989-1991 and we did cross country running at Snuff Mill Lane
I'm not sure if all the reliability and other drawbacks should be blamed on it being a two stroke design. Detroit Diesel and EMD made some legendary two cycle diesel powerplants. Yes the exhaust circulation leads to emissions problems. But for decades these were one of the Mainstays of American locos and OTR trucks.
A really nice and informative video on one of my favourite locomotives of all time. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Synthwave soundtrack vibes were a nice touch.
My best mate lives in hull and I’m finally visiting after nearly 20 years of knowing each other what he does not know is I’m looking to move to hull as it’s rich with history and has everything my family and myself need :D
Do you have any info about old farm house near castle hill mound?
Nothing, I'm afraid, my research was more about the mound and the prehistoric stuff. Sorry!
@@hullhistorynerd i cant find anything other than urban legend passed down from the older people in the area
Fantastic, hugely interesting account of Wllberforce's life and work.
I was recently on holiday around these parts and it's indeed a very interesting village. Definitely go back again, and my knowledge of the place is reasonably well thanks to this video and TVI, too! Next thing I am looking at is just how baffling it was with its old train station being 1 site divided into 2 parts!
Fascinating.ivealways had an interest in the H&B railway, I love underdog railway companies
In the mid-1960s, the military wanted to blow-up the bridge as a training exercise, after the line had closed. That idea was opposed and subsequently quashed, thankfully.
Awesome film as are all of them. I have a feeling I know but don’t know when from.maybe next time I am in Hull we could meet up for a coffee or beer what ever is you fancy. I am an East Hull lad the same as you, my wife is also from East Hull. Keep up the good work.
Wow, another great slice of visualised history. This meant a lot to me as my father was connected to the Hull Fishing industry & I recall those days as a child visiting St Andrews Dock with him. More of the same please! Should you want any help with any future projects I may be able to contribute. Hessle born & bred with 60 odd years of Hull & its surrounding districts memories. Thanks for your work & I'll keep a look out for more.
Again, fascinating history. Separately, can you do Hessle's history? Well done!
Compelling viewing - well done!
Great history & fascinating facts. Thank you!
Lovely video .. Just the right amount of technical detail …. No waffle or ego .. comes over very naturally …. Please do more 👍
>should have tried to get their hands on an EMD prime mover maybe
If, Metropolitan Vickers ever knew the news that EMD already built good reputation in mainland Europe with their 2-stroke diesel 567 series engines, they would ended up using EMD engines instead of Crossley's. But, it might ended up as a standard Co-Co, not a Co-Bo, because EMD's 2-stroke engine is big and heavy, but frankly, that American bloke is very reliable. It would be interesting if there is any loco manufacturer built something like Co-Bo and could disengange the centre power axle of the Co bogie when cruising and engange it when accelerating, well, I just wondering. I might be rubbish, but you know, it is an imagination. Cheers.
Well presented .. informative and too the point with no excessive waffle ….. really enjoyed it 👍
Neat loco. In my country, Canadian National Railways had the Fairbanks Morse C-liners with the same wheel arrangement. Great vid!
Just like the E2s only they ended up in shunting yards and later at Southampton docks before being withdrawn
My grandad worked for Metrovicks in Manchester during the Great War. He was working on tanks. As this was a reserved armaments occupation, he never went to the front. Lucky for me as there would have been a good chance he would have been killed and then you wouldnt be reading this!
BOCO FROM TTTE
I was a trainspotter at St Albans when these locos were introduced. They did pull the Condor and also mainline expresses, always in pairs. For some time the pairs were consecutive locos with consecutive numbers, never being separated. The Midland mainline at that time between 1958 and 1963 had a variety of motive power. Jubilees, Scots, Britannias, midland compounds, 9Fs, black fives, 8Fs, Peaks, Midland Pullman etc. A lot of changes in a short time.
Yes I remember those times as living in Watford I used to go St Albans or Radlett to see the Jubs mainly but also saw some of these Co Bos.I quite liked them.
@michaelketteringham9417 I used to get the train from St Albans to Watford to see the Coronations, Princess's etc. Exciting, the Caledonian and big expresses, more impressive than our Midland motive power. I could also get the bus to Hatfield and never forgot, just after I arrived for the first time, an A4 coming though fast with its chime whistle blowing. Never seen or heard anything like it. My Mum would make me sandwiches, I was only 9 or 10. Glad I had the freedom and indeoendence.
Not often you hear a Hull accent on KZread! “Lercermertive” 😁😁😁
Howdy HHN. I'm enjoying your posts very much. I find that the best way to enjoy them is to wrap myself in a cosy dressing gown and have a cup of cocoa and a plate of hot buttered toast (spread with Marmite) close at hand. And some vodka. However: You have missed a very important fact regarding the ferry from Hull to New Holland. You may not remember, but the early 70s were the Dark Age for drinkers. On Sundays pubs used to close at 2pm and they didn't open again until 7pm. This posed a huge problem for the more enthusiastic imbibers in Hull's Old Town. But necessity is the mother of invention. My pub of choice in that decade was the Blue Bell and some of the regulars found a way to get around those draconic licencing laws: When Charlie Jackson (or his wife Freda) called last orders at 2 o'clock some of the regulars simple walked across to the pier, got onboard the ferry, and travelled back and forth to New Holland. They didn't get off the ferry, they simply took advantage of the fact that the ferry allowed the sale of alcohol during that dark time period when less mobile pubs were required by law to close. They didn't go anywhere. Except, maybe, to Cloud Cuckoo Land.
We called it "The Rockies" - Where did those gates go? Why? Don't recall them closed. In winter it seemed like all the pupils from Mally would play on the frozen lake. I know it wasn't too deep but, still, I'm surprised the school allowed it. That watchtower was used as more than a urinal!
One of the series was converted to E10000. As a student Engineer, I traveled in the cab when it was trialed on the Styal line.
Surely not! E1000 was converted from the GWR ordered (but built in 1951 under BR by Metropolitan-Vickers) gas turbine loco 18100. It was renumbered E2001 and under TOPS would have been class 80, but was withdrawn in 1968 and scrapped in 1972. See Wikipedia page for British Rail Class 80.
@@wileybrenda As it was 60 years ago I may have my numbers wrong, but it was the converted gas turbine. It had a large mercury arc rectifier in the engine compartment.
On a silly note...only humans "leave this world" and thanks for an entertaining vid. I like the gas/steam turbines and Diesel hydraulics.
And spacecraft…
@@allangibson8494 And spacecraft of course, silly me
@@anthonyxuereb792 And at least one nuclear propelled manhole cover… (last seen travelling at above 66km/s).
@@allangibson8494 More info required please about manhole
Oo, I know this! Operation Plumbob, an early nuclear underground test in the late 50s, shot a metal cap that had been welded over the test shaft out of the shaft so fast that on review of the recordings, it only appeared on one frame of film, suggesting that its launch speed was around 5-6 times the escape velocity of earth. Some scientists speculated that at that speed, it would likely have burned up in the atmosphere, but others suggest that it may have survived and ended up leaving the atmosphere!
They sound like Baldwin diesels.
My family emigrated many years ago from England to the United States. Just cannot imagine what type of life those ancestors had? Knowing they done good to leave.
