Found myself looking at all the brickwork today telling my wife the different methods all thanks to your video ! Some brickwork is a proper work of art and I put your work in that category. 👍🏻
We will forever be in debt to the our ancestors for their hard work, it’s brilliant you hold such knowledge on the past on how traditional brickwork was crafted. Merry Christmas Dean and merry Christmas all. ✝️
What baffles me is the quality back then less science behind it and how beautiful these buildings look and still stand today as elegant as when first built.Truly an art and it's a shame the quality isn't there today
You do make me smile! Love your videos and so informative, too. We should never forget who we are and what we have achieved over the years and our children , who wont be taught this at school, must be taught by their families or the history will be lost forever.Keep up the good work and have a very Merry Christmas.
You always bring a smile to my face Dean. Proud of our trade 🧱 proud of our people, proud of our country and proud of our history. Respect Sir 🫡 Merry Christmas and a very happy new year.
Dean thank you for this history lesson, something we wasn't told at school, us patriots live for our history our late and present families , my dad. Wasn't old enough to fight in the second world war straight after he was in the army and guading the coal mounds in Germany, he told me he was told if any germans tried to steal the coal they were to be shot, the agreement between the soldiers was to guard one side and allow the Germans desperate enough to put there lives at stake to put heating in there houses etc then they should be allowed to take coal for there families. Compassion. Ge the joined the merchant navy , as a head chef , and then Butlins, i remember when i was around 5 or 6 we was in great Yarmouth and normal wisdom was walking down towards us i said look dad he looks like norman wisdom he said it is and omg they started talking Norman spoke first hello Arthur i was gob smacked, as if my dad knew him. And he my dad. Meeting or knowing famous people was something i never spoke about though out my younger life but these people where our history xx
What marvellous work that they carried out back then.The Germans and countless councils have destroyed most of our Historic buildings.Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful prosperous New Year.I do believe that we,as a indigenous people will have our own battles to overcome in the coming months and years.Merry Christmas to one and all
Thank you for your intelligence and knowledge another great video. Happy Christmas Dean, wishing you a great healty, happy and prosperous 2025. Respect from Sunderland 🇬🇧
Absolutely spot on . The golden age of brickwork and craftsmanship. Regardless of the syllabus or assessment criteria, I never send one of my apprentices off to EPA until they know their bonds, decorative panels and styles and terminology of arches as well as the modern building technology. I am often questioned as half of this isn't on the assessment. But if you're gonna call yourself a Bricklayer, you'd better be sure. Keep up the good work Dean 👍
Although I pretty much left the trade in 2009 I've been a bricklayer for 44 years and it used to astound me how people continuously get away with stuff. Around 88-89 I was building houses for Bovis homes in wisbech and kings Lynn, a lot of them had heron bone panels on the front. Most of the other gangs didn't have a clue so after a month of trying to show apparently experienced bricklayers how to set out heron bone we decided to offer to build everyone else's for them (for a price of course). Same with setting out a new build, I've been on jobs where an engineer has been paid a lot of money to set out a building yet had no clue what a 3 4 5 is? You start to wonder why you bother.
Merry Christmas Deano!!! Thank you for the video, your enthusiasm and passion brought a smile to my day! God Bless You One And All! God Bless The Motherland!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones........you should have your own history show on TV, you'd be good at it. Thanks for your channel content. Love to the motherland and to our ancestors who sacrificed so much to make us Great.......anyway your enthusiasm for your trade is very refreshing in today's climate. Merry Christmas from a small corner of Essex to you, your family and to all your followers.
Great video and really interesting history lesson. I worked as a hod carrier for a gang of 3 brickies in early 80s, 2 years of non stop laughs, no lifts to top floors, just ladders in the freezing cold and 2 big blisters on my shoulders, 80's were a great decade. Have a great Christmas all👍 Kev
Lovely piece Dean makes me proud to be English.🏴💪Happy Christmas to you and your family.🌲 Your words give us strength in these challenging times. 👌🏴🇬🇧🏴🏴
What a great video 🔥 Britain runs through our veins and we should appreciate the people that fought for us ❤ Happy new year patriots and let's continue this desire for change
Merry Christmas 🎅🏻 brother, you and your lovely family, have a great week and new years. Roll on 2025, it will be even bigger, another great vid Dean, keep up this amazing content matey. 👏🏻❤️🔥🏴✝️👑
Merry. Christmas. Iam. Just. Retired. Apprenticed. Serviced. C&G and. ADV. C&again. From 1977 . ITS IN YOUR. BLOOD. STILL LOVE. DOING COMPLICATED /. Detail. Work. God Bless ALL
I once went to a Cathedral in the fens walking in looked up and cried. how was that building made on that wet Fenland it was completely amazing. Don’t think it could be done today.
Merry Christmas to all…I wish you and your family a very beautiful day with the beautiful families we all have. ❤️ Old architecture is beautiful but unfortunately it’s not used anywhere near as much as it should be. I live in an old terraced house that was built for the mill workers back in the early 1900’s. When these are stripped back to brick, properly insulated and plastered, they’ll outlast any modern house.
Beautiful.. I'm a stone mason. I have laid a few bricks, but yes, just because you can lay stone does not mean you can lay bricks.. merry x mas Edit: I'm from across the pond in merica and keep up the fight for your country..
Merry Christmas from the eastern side of the pond. I hope you and your family enjoy your Christmas holiday together. We welcome anyone who’s willing to fight for our western culture. You guys have had an early Christmas present with Trump winning. We will have to wait for our “big present” but hopefully we won’t have to wait too long.
I've been asked many times to build brickwork features for stonemasons . At the age of 58 I now wish I'd taken the time to learn to cut and lay stone to a decent standard , I didn't really have the time when I was site bashing .
Little know fact but us Electricians have been called up to fight in EVERY WAR since 1066 . In fact it was my Great uncle X 10 who re wired Windsor Castle during the war of the Roses so that the lads could read maps at night due to the LED fittings he’d installed. And that my friends is a true story .
Skewbacks for the arches and tumbling in on those chimneys, the yellow stocks and red rubbers . They are still there for those who know how and where to look for them. But alas the knowledge has gone along with the bricklayers who were taught how to do it.
My old man was a stone mason we lived in a back to back house with an outside toilet he grafted all his life and made a good life for us . I’ve been a Bricklayer for 47 yrs now and done the same for my Kids and Grandchildren good thing we had White Privilege 😠
Mint street is on the other side on the left as you walk in the towers main gate and all of the yeoman warmers are ex military thst serve the full 22 years plus
Even the old terrace housing in many an inner city have some intricate designs and detailing due to bricklayers being these craftsman. Nowadays these modern houses lack beauty in design.
You are obviously English then. All you need to realise now is you are flying a commie flag brother. Its been the biggest psyop on the indigenous people of these islands as they removed your rights and freedoms
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Or was it that bricklayers got payed less than the army payed and so they joined up. The stonemason being part of the funny handshake club got paid more and so didn't need to join up. When the war was over the bricklayers came back and being cheaper than the masons took over from them. If the brickies had stood together like the masons they might've earned enough to reject the monarchs shilling in the first place. BBC. Batley Barrett Communications.
Would you be able to find out how your skills can help those in South Carolina - after the gusts of Helene, they are still trying to put their lives back together. The govt hasn't helped.
@Ivan_1919 what I'm saying is the country is wanked we are a laughing stock we make nothing anymore we have nothing but shite foreign workers undercutting us all everything is a rip off and this mong who thinks he's one of the peaky blinders is trying to hang on to a bit of British history when just around the corner is probably a family of joe dackeys we import nothing but shite from China and now our farm's are about to be sold of for solar panels tell me what's good about this country I'm glad I own property in Portugal we are off in the next 5 years 👍 😀
@Ivan_1919 they removed my comment this pleb who thinks he's one of the peaky blinders is hanging on to a bit of British history when we import everything and mr Patel lives around the corner
God bless the motherland & god bless you for the pride you show for it.

As a retired stonemason/bricklayer, what a great piece of journalism,!! Merry Christmas mate,! 🇬🇧

I f@cking the history of our Great country , I’ve worked in a lot of the Older buildings and it gives me goosebumps when I’m in them.

They were real craftsman then had pride in what they done stay busy happy Christmas and a good new year.
