The history of York, England, as a city dates to the beginning of the first millennium AD but archaeological evidence for the presence of people in the region of York dates back much further to between 8000 and 7000 BC. As York was a town in Roman times, its Celtic name is recorded in Roman sources (as Eboracum and Eburacum); after 400, Angles took over the area and adapted the name by folk etymology to Old English Eoforwīc or Eoforīc, which means "wild-boar town" or "rich in wild-boar". The Vikings, who took over the area later, in turn adapted the name by folk etymology to Norse Jórvík meaning "wild-boar bay&quo...

Great Doc.
Would've been better without the annoying loud music
And the dreadful hectoring tone of the commentary.
Are those tree huggers idiots? It's a warning station, if missiles head It's way It's an attack on the whole country. Are they too stupid not to want to know whether or not their being attacked?
It has not changed - after a briev time of calm, Russia is now up again in agression, distrust, fear and back on its quest to destroy everything, that is not russian. But in the eyes of a lot of people, the russians are the good ones. Well, they are not, have never been.
Spoiled nowadays by the 1000s of cars everywhere
If you're seeing thousands of cars in the Dales you can't be going further than Bolton Abbey !
Excellent documentary 👌
The protestors would prefer that their country get hit without any chance to hit back, that's simply delightful(ly ignorant of the state of the world).
i hope someones still taking the cavalier down there. prob just a lilds now
Do you want to know something, I am 58 years old and all this talk about how we all lived in fear in the 1980s is absolutely rubbish. We didn't simply because there was no threat. I fully expect this comment to be taken off or fail to publish. Don't believe what they tell you. HOWEVER at this precise moment ( 20-2-2024 ) I am as concerned about the threat of nuclear war as my parents were over the Cuban missile crisis . NOW, there is more of a threat of nuclear war than EVER before.
Well, to be fair, there was an increase in tension in the early eighties (able archer 83 and all that), before Reagan and Gorbachev started getting along properly and cooled things down a little. Granted, some of the things that went down weren´t really publicised or even known until years later so would´t have had any bearing on peoples level of fear - which i thorougly believe was down to each persons individual assesment of the credibility of NATO deterrence vs. Soviet "jumpiness". I am barely old enough to have been aware of these things just before the fall of the USSR, and the way i remeber it there was a certain level of apprehension but overall a confidence that things -probably wouldn´t escalate too far. Here´s writing from scandinavia where the soviet union did not fail to keep their presence known. And yes the situation at present is concering indeed.
I totally disagree with you. I am 62 and served in the RAF and was stationed at highly strategic early warning sites which involved tracking the Russian aircraft and we felt the threat was very real. Every time the siren sounded on an unannounced alert, we were very nervous and thought this is it. I had many friends that worked at Fylingdales and they felt the same.
@@Gazzab6 but there was no ongoing threats as there is today.
... EEH BAH GUM!… My Home County. My Town is Bradford. Totally Changed Since 348 B.C. Yeah! It Looks Different. Lap Post's For One... 2:56 🤔
rotten flat rubber old yorkshire she knocked up there, not a good cook
Excellent documentary. Wish we had more like it. Thank you for posting this.
Why not just invite the enemy in for tea , you have showed them every thing else .
Well, it would seem that way but i think the idea is 1: This is stuff that was mostly available in open sources anyway, and 2: In order to deter you must let the would-be enemy know you have the capability to counter them. This was, as it turns out at least, a very real part of the rationale for what western military organizations chose to make public. Kind of like in the Strangelove movie where the doctor concludes that a doomsday device would be uselsess if it was kept secret.
@@dungracersintl You communist .
Back when Yorkshire was Yorkshire, full of Yorkshire folk, can't say that nowadays 😢
That Yorkshire Pudding was a bit of an anticlimax
Great stuff !
The protestors never seem to understand anything about what they’re protesting against. They don’t seem to grasp what a nuclear deterrent is and that this deterrent has stopped both sides from using any nuclear weapon in the past 78 years. If they want to talk about weapons of mass destruction, then malaria carrying mosquitoes have killed more people in the past century than any nuclear weapon has. Yes information might be going to the USA but they’re our biggest allies and protector.
Great upload.
It's a wonder anyone visited Yorkshire after enduring that god-awful background music.
169 my a*se haha!!
After 35 years the quarry’s are still there and working…. And the arguments still go on🤔
And now by the time the Satan 2 launch has been detected….. it’s all over…..the Uk is flat…..
Gp Capt Roger Sweatman was tragically killed a few years later whilst flying a Chipmunk as a VR(T) pilot
Jezz
Someone needs to throw a solid mannequin with a life vest on and lets see what really happens to it. It will probably make it to the other end.
Ah.....Yorkshire..(which I have been blessed to visit several times)... and it's great Catholic heritage. So many abbeys, convents and monasteries all STOLEN by Henry V111 and given to his cronies. IF only he had been able to keep his zipper closed! Gordon Carter. Adelaide. South Australia.
What an absolute gem of a vid this is, thank you somuch for posting. For the benefit of future viewers, the Newport Bridge in Middlesbrough no longer lifts, as due to marine traffic changes it has been perminantly locked down, it did not as quoted lift in under a minute but in fact it rose 90 foot in 90 seconds. It was so smooth in operation that if on the bridge when lifting it's movement could not be felt and gave the impression that the rest of the world was sinking. Even though I suffer from vertigo I always love working on this bridge.
I don't agree with the protester's we needed this place back then and now, there not very well informed are they, making there own conclusions. Look what Russia is doing now to the Ukraine, who's next ????
Why, had it been abandoned?
@@jacvic0790 no it’s in use although it got upgraded 2 golf balls are gone and replaced with a hardened central pyramid like radar structure.
@@dingbat19 oh, so one ball is left, when we went past I saw one of them and was fascinated by the building so I researched it and saw that the balls had been demolished, safe to say I was confused 😂
All three golf balls were removed in the early 90s when the station was upgraded and the current ‘pyramid’ radar was built. They didn’t leave one standing.
@@arbrento73 there is one golf ball looking structure still there actually been there a couple weeks ago
The ramblers association really have a lot to answer for.
65, 8 mt deep ! 😳
"Not even our children's, children" Yeah but every generation after that is fine to be fried by nukes?
Great, I liked this, being an 80's kid and military brat, my dad was stationed at adak, ak Which at the time was a early warning military station, scary times
It's still in use. For a reason. The BBC may have all but stopped talking about it, but the risk of war is still there.
True and it's been upgraded the golf balls are gone
@@justmejie and here we are two months later possibly on the brink of war with Russia. Not sure our EWS would be much use against hypersonic missiles which are designed to evade EWS systems.
@@justmejie noooo
Any idea of the song names for the rest of the soundtrack to this?
Love it🥰
Stunning historical Yorkshire The city of York is one of the finest in the whole of Europe.. The Home of the white rose. I love Yorkshire 🌼 ❤️
... Me Too By 'Eck!… I'm 40 Odd Miles Down't A64 to the Leeds Ring Road onto Bradford, I'm Now 10 Minutes away From 'Shipley' in 'Baildon'... Toodle Pip Old Bean 🏴✌️🥪 7:20
I am AMAZED by this river. Ive been living for years in Leeds and i regrets that no one told me to investigate this natures phenomen. Now its to late. I was given "Wolf's ticket" from Home Office. SH*T💩!
The first time you see it from afar you imagine a tranquil beauty. But when you view its seething waters up close you feel another sensation. You think of horrors beneath the surface far from the green trees and fair thoughts up above.
Top quality. If you re upload this you may get LOTS more views, and it deserves lots more views. There is renewed interest on the STRID last couple of months. I think your video is top quality and deserve lots of views. Also :- IF BBC Look North haven't done a feature on this then they should. @XPLORE YORKSHIRE
C'mon...
I went to the White Scar Cave and it was brilliant, the tour guide told us that he had to crawl for 2 miles with a pair of shorts, a jumper, a bowler hat and a few candles.
True. I went there and there was a literal squeeze that I could fit in but it was heavily restricted. Long’s dummy was there.
100 feet? Try like more than 213 feet!
Even more like 30ft.
@@modelsteamers671 Negative snowflake. A depth finder has already shown a couple hundred feet
@@TENNESSEETRACKHAWK Try reading the more scientifically based geology websites, it believed to be about 30ft deep. Even the guy who used a sonar technique and estimated it to be 65 metres later admitted that was nothing like the reality.
@@modelsteamers671 200ft.
@@astradala1845 About 30ft.
Very funny music
Segueing back and forth between Reginald Dixon and Jethro Tull. Renowned denizens of the very Yorkshire town of Blackpool!
The Chantry Bridge in Rotherham is on the River Don not, the Rother.
Beautiful video yet haunting at the same time.Often times the most dangerous places are the ones that look the most innocent.
What is inside it which kills ?
the last family of megalodons on Earth
The water runs deep under the rocks, instead of running straight like a river should it runs sideways.
@@XPLOREYORKSHIRE Got it
Looking back today you can look at this in two ways, What a huge money suck or it worked and we didn't have a war.
need a map of river under surface. camera or sonar . for entire strid.
Wonderful old footage, only cars and people's clothing give away the date, so much remains unchanged, thank goodness. (Could have done without the soundtrack, but hey-ho 😅).
What a great video.
The strid is nature's bug trap for stupid people. They can't resist the warning to jump in and die.
