Around & About Yorkshire
Великобритания
Добавлен 23 июл 2014
Yorkshire is England's largest county and attracts millions of visitors every year. Whether you are coming here on holiday, spending a day out or simply interested in all aspects of Yorkshire. We have been recording places, events, its history, industry and community on film for the past 20 years. Our aim is to bring hundreds of short films for people to see and enjoy and, hopefully, go and explore for themselves!

History of Horsforth
This was filmed in 2000/2001 and although the history remains unchanged, the town has since then!

From Neolithic burial mounds, to those Iron Age Parisi buried with chalk figures on the Wolds, followed closely by the Roman road side graves found at (including) York, Ilkley and Donaster. Next we have the Anglo-Saxon graves and follow the body of St Cuthbert that travelled around Yorkshire during the Viking invasions. The Vikings left behind hog back tombs (Dewsbury, Helmsley, Lythe, Ilkley e...
Abandoned Churches: North Yorkshire
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.2 года назад
Abandoned, redundant, disused - call them what you like - but these churches have been saved (reprieved?) by organisations ranging from the Churches Conservation Trust to locals.

Forgotten Spas of Yorkshire
Просмотров 3432 года назад
We've all heard of Harrogate, Ilkley and Scarborough - but what about Slaithwaite, Askern or Wetherby? They've all had them, but only shone brightly for a very short time - mostly 1820-1890 and then disappeared. Others like Ripon came on far too late 1904/1905 and places like Boston Spa were left behind by the age of steam - although that mode of transport didn't help Goathland (North York Moor...

Railway Stations of Yorkshire
Просмотров 6032 года назад
The Leeds-Selby line was the first to be built in Yorkshire in 1834 - and some of the original station can still be seen in Selby (more of it in our Selby film). Most of the railways were centred on York, as George Hudson, "The Railway King", mayor of York, saw that it would be a great boon to the city - indeed, the medieval wall was breeched to allow it in. Although today's station, one of Bri...

West Somerset is 24 miles.
Thank you, I live near Hornsea. Love the East Riding.
Their sacrifice will never be forgotten by the people - but it has been by the Oligarchic Establishment. They seek new sacrifice now - and the end of our free and sovereign country. God bless and never surrender.
And Sunak promised a "bonfire" of EU regs, he lied! Vote ReformUK on 4 July!
Used to attend the grain market at the Corn Exchange every Tuesday. It used to be a vast floor , but they seem to have taken away a lot of floor to expose the basement. I remember that there was only one telephone there, and when someone was called, the caretaker used to walk around with a bell and a small blackboard with his name on it. Tramfare was one penny in those days.
It's The Royal Hall NOT Theatre Royal I was born in Harrogate but moved to the south West in 1990 so a lot has changed since then! I enjoyed the video, brought a lot of memories back :D
Joseph Thackwray was related to my Dad, either my Great Grandad or great great Grandad!
We so lucky to live in this beautiful area and we have walked over most of the area of Ryedale and the moors,we know where to go to avoid the popular hot spots that visitors congregate and spoil the peace and tranquility with cars noisy motorbikes and large walking groups👍🤗Which hostelries to have a meal without having to queue 👍🤗
really sad that the era has gone ....who owns the landing area??
Who is the narrator please
This video brought back memories because I used to visited the area with my late girl-friend who died of cancer in 2018. We walked around Malham Tarn and down Mastiles Lane. We drive past Kilnsey Crag many times on our way to Grassington and other places. Thanks fo making this video. You added and interesting and thoughtful commentary. Thanks for uploading.
One of my favourite walks... Stunning
4:03 You have now entered the twilight zone 😂
must need a license to be able to own that amazing scissor.
The light house at Withernsea is not where it is because of erosion. Quite the reverse actually. It was built where it stands because of anticipated erosion that has never happened, hence it is so far in land.
I grew up in Filey and remember the cobbles so well wonderful memories
I prefer the flat cap but I can never find one that doesn’t have a long peak.
Locally it's known it was originally "On Baildon moor Bhat 'at". Ilkley pinched it, they were far too posh. We had many different versions when I was a lad including "Without tha trousers on" & " Where the ducks play football"
Happy memories came flooding back of a beautiful part of Yorkshire. Thank you.
No immigrants...wonderful
I’ve just watched 3 videos on York and this is the first one to give me the information I actually wanted. History, navigation, explanations for what I’ll see. Thank you! I’ll be looking for more of your videos.
A romp in the heather! 😂😂😂
Oh my! Arnold taught me French at school and when he was mayor of knaresborough I was his deputy 😅 I dare say many won’t know that his son Tim was part of the original hit band Simply Red.
The one thing Titus Salt didn't build was a pub. He was a staunch non-drinker.
Me an Steve Holland took our freada a brid an Whitby biult 40 foot cobble to Southwest Scotland to rebuild her , 20 years ago. , we got her thrw mca. , ,, good luck lads ..
Very nice video. What Camera was used please?
Loved this !York is full of history it’s the best City in Uk.
in my dad's dialet...the 'howes', were spelled 'Ho"...
Gate in these places does not refer to the actual gates, for these are called Bars, because they bar the road, Gate means Street. It comes from the Norse meaning 'way'.
Brilliant video, lots of interesting facts and not just limited to the history, having left Harrogate in the late 80"s i thoroughly enjoyed it with many wonderful memories of this beautiful town including Knaresbourough😊
My maternal grandmother knitted me one, in royal blue, no less, when I was a young teenager. She was from North Wales, and grew up in a small coastal town, her father being a labourer on local hill farms. There was still some fishing a few miles further up the coast. She knitted it in this manner, without reference to a pattern. It wouldn't fit me now, as I'm much taller than I was then, but this video brought it vividly to mind.
Sorry to be a pedant but it's HarroGHUT. Nor Harrow GATE. History tells us this! Soz. Cheers
Excellent video!
I'd love to see the old Christopher Pratt's store building again on North Parade. I've not been in since just before it closed in 2002/3. Apparently aircraft parts were manufactured and assembled inside during WW2, using the giant sized workshop at the back.
Bradford has become the expression of the people who arrived here from South Asian countries in the 1960s. What you import you become and its why the city centre is full of ugly signage and a general shanty town ghetto appearance. It's not lack of money in itself, because you could give them millions of pounds to work with, and they would still express what they have already created back home in parts of India, Pakistan or Bangladesh etc.
Thankyou , your channel came up . Realy appreciate the history .
II was very excited to see this. I will be traveling to Harrogate from California in a few weeks.
My old home town - two of my relatives worked at Whitakers Bakery & Chocolatiers in years past.
"Hotham" isnt pronounced Hot-am. The "th" is pronounced like the "th" in "thick".
He even pronounced ‘ull wrong.
This is a great video but I wish the photographer wouldn't have used a distortion ("fish eye") lens.
Raise the camera up for less pavement, more buildings and landscape.
I did this event a few times but really have no recollection of all that traffic.
I’m trying Pontefract Cakes for the first time so I thought I should get some insight on the topic. They are very good! Is a strong tradition licorice and these ones have a soft chew to them. Thanks for the video!
I left Knaresborough 45 years ago, Fond memories of growing up there. I served my apprenticeship as a carpenter and joiner in Green Dragon Yard.
Technology could help to reduce paperwork, a smartphone, tablet or laptop. As you are no longer in EU this will also reduce, paperwork. Good to see wooden clinker boats being used. Thank you, good fishing, stay safe & Strong. # HeroesAtSea.
Great band. Very professional. One of my favourite hymns "Onward Christian Soldiers".
Very enjoyable, informative and well produced little documentary. Thanks for uploading!
Very interesting as my ancestors from Pudsey- Vincent Casson born about 1798. Son of Robert and Jane Mason Casson
Do you know anything about James Neill industry that used to be on Cemetery road in Sharrow area?
I actually live on Sunbridge Road as well never knew about the Sunbridge Wells etc
