Welcome to Mike and Teresa Explore
We hope to make videos of places we visit and enjoy. Living in the South West of England that means most videos will be of this region, initially. However, as we all start to travel more we hope to provide insights into more of our wonderful country and when restrictions are lifted other countries as well. We are hoping to provide a number of types of videos from 'Places of interest to 'Historic and documentaries'. We love walking and will be providing a number of videos of walks we enjoy.
Please feel free to provide comments or suggestions of places to visit. Thanks for reading, Mike and Teresa

Scrooge Lived in Gloucester ?
Просмотров 784Год назад
James (Jemmy) Wood (7 October 1756 - 20 April 1836) was the owner of the Gloucester Old Bank who became nationally known as "The Gloucester Miser". His wealth of around £900,000 was stated at the time to have made him "the richest commoner in His Majesty's dominions". But was the character of Scrooge based on James Wood ? If so the people of Gloucester have a closer connection to Scrooge than t...

Everything looks and feels just a bit more beautiful after dark in the Cathedral at this time of year.

Very important to all railway enthusiasts is that engines are called Locomotives, not "trains" trains are the carriages that are pulled by the locomotives or engines, just as the "train" behind a wedding dress.
What a beautiful place!!❤💦
Thanks.
I was one of the girls on the field
Wow that must of been scary.
well done. very informative.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

The incident at the Railway Station to which you refer occurred on January 8, 1887 in the station yard. At about 3.30 p.m., William Heath (69) was searching for a cab, when the veranda over the cab stand was torn away from the wall under the weight of snow, and he was killed on the spot. The cab men had moved away from the stand owing to the danger. However, one cab was badly damaged and the horse slightly hurt. The entrance to the station was at platform level at this time, and the yard sloped up to the station frontage on made up ground which was excavated in 1902 in connection with the station enlargement works. The roof that spanned the platforms in 1887 did not collapse and kill William Heath. The present day veranda roof on platform three dates from 1924.
Hi, thanks for those details. M&T
@@MikeandTeresaExplore Hi, normally I would check the details by reference to the Shrewsbury Chronicle reports of the incident. However, an internet search has caused me to revise my comment, it appears that William Heath was searching for a cab, and not on his way to the station.
Beautiful cathedral and a wonderful and informative video.
Thanks for your comment. M&T
This is the first ,I have seen of yours .Brilliant. thanks .
Thanks for your comment. Glad you enjoyed.
Keep it up bro! You can make it love it 🥰
Thank you.
Hi I am the boy that gave you the picture of your sweet dog Riley. I’ve watched your Forest Of Dean video; I loved it. Please could you give me a shoutout in your next video.👍🙂
Of course loved your drawing it’s handing on our fridge. Lovely to meet you and your family. M&T
Great video.. Good luck
Thanks.
What a beautiful tour, thank you.
Your very welcome. Thanks for the comment. M&T
Beautiful railway from my old neck of the woods.

So many exciting things to do in Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds
Couldn’t agree more. Thanks M&T
I am going there on Saturday
Hope you enjoy it.
So beautiful and grand... If only it could be restored

Bristol Brittany?
Beautiful cathedral and great introduction to it. We live about 30 minutes down the road from it, so have visited fairly often, it is one of my favourites. Reason Six would be the excellent acoustics, and if anyone can manage it, I recommend combining your visit with a music event. We attended a Welsh Male Voice choir there some years ago, the sound was spectacular.
Hi thanks for your lovely comments. Yes it does have fantastic acoustics. We once met Charity Qiun in the cathedral, she taught Ed Sheeran hope to sing and she did a very short performance in Lady Chapel. Gloucester Cathedral - Featuring Charity Quin ruclips.net/video/AQ1k0VI5s0s/видео.html
The Jeremy Corbyn clip "who are you?" is actually on YT. Classic parliament banter.
Will have to look that one up.
Never seen a car park? Whereabouts is it? Can see a bit of on road past dunkertons... Infront of a gate going into the woods

@@MikeandTeresaExplore ah lovely thank you

Lovely video - very moving. My late mother, Christine Harlock (then Leslie) was a sergeant in the intelligence corps at Bletchley Park, in traffic analysis, attached to Hut Six, in 1944/45. Her husband-to-be, Commander Mark Harlock was in HMS Vigilant on Russian Convoy in 1944, then the Far East in 1945. They were married in 1952 and in 1958 Dad went to work in the Middle East Section of GCHQ, by now having moved from Bletchley to Cheltenham. As a large family, we knew nothing of Mum's wartime work until the 1990s and even then she was very cagey about saying anything. What a generation that was! Thanks for another great video.
Thanks for your comments and what great background story. Did your mum know your Dad in 1944 or did they meet later ? M&T
@@MikeandTeresaExplore No they didn't know each other then as Dad was Australian; they only met in 1951 when he was on leave in Budleigh Salterton, Devon, at one of the beautiful houses for officers on leave from the Dominions. They met on the tennis courts! Thanks again for your great videos - beautifully edited😄.
Just got tickets for 2023 display £48 for 2 of us ouch! too much really, and lunch at the Lion Inn just up the road in Winchcombe a birthday treat for my wife, nice video by the way it does look good

Awesome video. We are planning to travel by bus from Gloucester to Coleford boarding route 23 as we don’t have a car. Should we get down at Crossroads?
Hi to be honest am not sure. Best reach out to Puzzlewood they should be able to advise.
Thanks @@MikeandTeresaExplore I did visit last week. Took the route 23 bus from Gloucester, got down at Mikwall (at the Corner Store) and it was a 10-min walk, so all good. Hope it might be useful for others who want to get there who don't have a car
