For ppl asking about the history of these smallholdings. They would have been built around 1770 to 1850 - the former date because the early Inclosure Acts re-classified former 'common' or 'waste' land, plus there had been improvements in agriculture methods eg drainage/liming so eg local farmer's sons were gaining ownership rights and trying to set up their own place on peripheral upland land: the latter date because the Industrial Revolution eventually offered a better-paid, easier life. As well as sheep/goat/ducks and geese grazing large families would have conducted cottage industry production - nail-making, spinning and weaving, stone quarrying and dressing, coal and peat extraction, etc. Life was hard but one of these houses had a tied labourer's cottage (possibly family member). The yards were for livestock, in bad weather animals would be brought inside. They burned peat, also coal if local outcrops. There might have been say 10 people in a house, with large and extended family structures. The stonework is very nice eg the corners, lintels, mullion windows. There were farm tracks which could take a horse and cart (kept in outbuilding) leading to roads. There are heavy metals in Pennine water so eg lead/iron poisoning was a problem in some places. All upland areas of the UK were poor and rural areas depopulated as the towns grew due to the Industrial Revolution - also emigration became an option. It's very rough in these places in winter - constant wind, driving rain, snow.
I consider myself quite well traveled and I personally think there is no country in the world which matches our beautiful natural landscape plus our gorgeous wildlife. xx
If anyone wants to see what life was like living in one of those remote farmhouses, if you YT search - Hannah Hauxwell you should be able to find a documentary from the 1970s or 1980s, called a 'Winter too far' or something like that. She was a single lady farmer with her own farm in the dales. She used to collect drinking water from the nearby lake knee deep in snow in the bleak midwinter etc. There was then a second documentary made as a follow up, at a time when she was selling up, and moving away. As she had white hair and was old fashioned, she seemed older than she probably was at the time. She died just a few years ago in her late 80s or 90s.
Umm, I recently saw something like that but it was Irish (perhaps Northern Irish). Can't remember the names but it was available on RUclips where I saw it. Her sister went away to work in England to earn money to send back home to her and her father (who she cared for in his latter years).
Born and breed in West Yorkshire, and when I was younger, I didn't appreciate it. Now, when I get a chance, I'm out walking up in moors and around the beautiful dams we have. The views we have are stunning.
Emily Brontë wrote Wuthering Heights. Despite what people think, it is largely set indoors. As a kid you think it is a Great Love Story: as an adult, you see it as a tale of how violence is passed down generations and can be overcome - people forget the ending, where Cathy Linton and Hareton Earnshaw are happy together. Charlotte wrote 4 books, Anne wrote 2. Emily only published one. She was working on another when she died, but her rather controlling sister Charlotte destroyed it. The Brontës were half Irish btw: Their father Patrick came from Ulster, and rose, incredibly, from peasant life to being a Cof E minister. His wife died young and he outlived all six of his children. Tragic life, but sadly common at that time. You won't find me being nostalgic for the days before antibiotics!
Wuthering heights is by far the best British book of the 19th century for me! Very surprising it is written by a woman, as it is so raw and direct. True creativity not hampered by forced identity politics. Charlotte's Sense and Sensibility is relatively dull and mainstream, she was just jealous of her sister 😎
Grandma from Canada here. Love your positive attitude, push through difficulties, even with a hint of sarcasm, but not bad enough to change your real positive demeanor .😅
I appreciate you showing me places in Europe like Yorkshire Hills. I live in Hawaii and never been there or anywhere in that part of the world. Keep up the good work you are doing showing places like this and the other places you’ve been traveling to that I have seen on your channel. Because of your work I’m able to see a part of your world and listen to what you have to say about all the places you travel to. Aloha ke akua!!’
Same here. I live in Barcelona and even though I lived in UK I never had a chance to see those amazing locations we see in these videos. You are doing a great job.
No volcanoes in Yorkshire and we speak proper English and very friendly, You should holiday there sometime and see for yourself, but keep out the cities as full of wragheads.
I wouldn't mind living there, away from people. Some people might call you the worlds worst estate agent, but I would say you are the best. Because you are honest about the condition of properties, and don't try to spin the negatives into selling points.
@@QoraxAudio Sounds good to me ! I used to live in rural "not quite Outback" Australia and it was 30 km / 20 miles to the nearest small town with Post Office, Bank, and a Shop. (Plus a rural farm supply place, and an engineering place for those jobs you just can't do yourself in your own home shed/workshop setup). I'm thinkin' about goin' back. Maybe one day, but if I can find a place cheap enough in the British Isles, with space for a greenhouse/tunnelhouse, might consider moving there instead.
no disrespect to his lad but know in there right minds would buy or even think of living out in the middle of nowhere ....like hello you cant tip down to the local shop for a bottle of milk or a newspaper ... hellicopter would come in handy
You are definitely NOT the world's worst estate agent, you are too honest for that, estate agents are often in the Habit of Lying, it's nice to see you out and about in the countryside, and it's always good to see that you're well and happy,.. Take care Daniel..
I *so enjoyed* this vid.. I can't stop laughing! 😂 Turnip, my fine man, you're simply a *brilliant* estate agent.. how dare anyone suggest otherwise! You use the word _“potential”_ a lot.. a splendid word all great estate agents use to describe a property's problems! 😂 A couple of holes here and there, not a problem easily fixed.. No roof, not a problem, easily fixed.. and always a supply of fresh milk for breakfast! Yep, great potential..🐄😁 I love this channel.. 👍👏
I’d love to go back in time and peer into the lives of those that once lived there. Thanks for showing us theses. It’s the most fun those cows have had all winter
I walked the Pennine Way two years ago (I'm from a built-up area in Belgium) and it was absolutely stunning, breathtaking ☺️. Britain is beautiful, politics aside.
People that say they don’t understand how you can still live in the UK are completely missing all of its amazing beauty! I’ve visited many countries but I am always appreciative to come home .. so much here I’ve not seen and your videos make me want to explore our country more . Look on your doorstep to appreciate all the great places and things the country has done ( all be it in the past as they are now trying hard to eradicate our identity) keep going with your great videos.. I love em!!! 😊
They were all stunning places. I love the moors round West Yorkshire, they are so beautiful. Amd these old abandoned farm house are fasciniating. I also love all the pinnacles and towers on the top of the moors like the Salt and Pepper pots.
I think your the 2024 version of David Attinbourough for the changing culture of England. Bringing to light the growth and decline in these changing times. Keep doing what your doing I find it wildly entertaining.
To watch you wandering about the hills is like a breath of fresh air especially in the light of what's going on in this crazy world, keep up the good work Turnip.😊
Great vid, years ago as a soft southerner who fell in love with a las from Ripponden, I went for a walk on the moors near Rishworth for a uni 'photography project' I tried to take a short cut to take some pic's of an abandoned house, and soon became in a bit of a pickle in what I guess was a mud bog? Luckily I was young and fit and managed to escape the dangers of West Yorkshire.. I celebrated with a pint of Landlord 😁
I love this video, it’s one of my favorite. I really like the work you’ve been doing. The stone work on those old houses is amazing. That must have taken them a great deal of time for all that work. The county side is breathtaking. I’ve been to England a few times before. I love it’s history & the lovely people. I’ve never been that far into the countryside before. Stay safe & thank you for all of your tours that you shared. Stay safe. Your a great real estate agent.
Great to see your beloved abandoned tiny house, David!! I LOVED the fact the guys left you a beer on the shelf.. 🍺😁 *Cheers!* Brilliant uplifting vlog.. fantastic drone footage (and I am glad the ole 'girl' is doing ok after her mishap flying through the window!) 😂
Literally returned from a walk this afternoon from the Dales. Got to an abandoned farmhouse above Grassington and Conistone, so many of these old farms dotted across the Yorkshire landscape. This one was called Bare House. What an evocative name, stripped by the wind and rain. I do think some of them are still used during lambing and shearing time in the summer.
I once came across an abandoned farm house in Hebden Bridge . I was walking with a mate at the time. We made it half way down the stone cellar steps to be halted instantly to the sound of something between a growl and a meow ! We backed off very slowly , turned and ran like F ... Good luck 😂
That was funny AF. Loved the parody but also agree that they all have potential 😂 just imagine waking up somewhere like that after the place has been sorted… Only recently discovered your channel but it’s already one of my favourites, keep it up bro, especially keep up the humour 😁
I have watched enough UK House Renovation Shows to have an angle on the trauma anyone wanting to re-build one of these houses would suffer! Lovely to look at and dream about though. Wonderful landscape. Love the Brontes! Tenant of Wildfell Hall is the greatest of them all, IMHO! Thank you for the video!
I love this tour!!! It was both intriguing and hilarious❤😂 I love abandoned property and in general I find your "reports" very upbeat even describing sad situations, so yes, I disagree about the "worst estate agent" label. Great job🤗🌹🍁, and such a cool surprise from those guys!!! 🥰... Online communities can be really fab. Psychos and spoilsports can just be ignored. I'm just wondering how you managed not to get lost in that place, wowza!!! 😁👍💪p.s. them cows!!! ❤❤❤
Excellent, David! I loved those cottages. Sometimes derelict places just become beautiful in their own right! Lovely story with 'your' little cottage, the lads, and the beer!
It is great to see those rough moors. I have tramped and run over countless miles on them. I live many miles south in Europe now, with big mountains on the other side of our valley. I can only look at them now being too doddery to make ascents and the same would apply to those Yorkshire and Derbyshire moors, but it is nice to look at these videos and bring back memories.
Mate! I love your videos along with my 12 year old lad. Keep up the good content. I need to get to this area. We both said after watching this we want to travel there. 👌🏻
“I’ve gendered my drone” 😂. Amazing houses and moors. Would love to know more about the history - when they were last lived in etc. The wheelbarrow would definitely persuade me to make an offer 😃. I love being British. Adding a garden shed makes any property more attractive. Wish I had the money to renovate a house like that. Ted 😍
You've made national papers making people aware of housing situations and high street desolation that they wouldn't otherwise be made aware of. No estate agent would have the guts to do what you're doing. ...good choice of beer, too!
i'd live there in a heartbeat. i work in the construction industry and the expensive issue is laying the services: plumbing and electrical. You could probably set up solar, wind-power and ground source power. But then you have to sort a road and transport all the building materials. that's another expensive part. you better have 400k.
It’s amazing what you find out there when walking about in the Dales and it’s very refreshing to go somewhere different than the usual hustle and bustle of cities.
love your wandering about since finding you on you tube watch you every day love the one where you slept in an abandoned house also the dry stone walling one please keep up the good work also love your jumper logo 5 stars
Some unkind person may have called you a bad estate agent, but don't let that worry you ; you are without doubt, a most marvellous video maker - always so interesting and articulate and very knowledgeable. Keep your superb videos coming (wish I could afford one of those deserted houses!) and if you ever come to Warwickshire, I will buy you a beer - that's a promise!
Absolutely hilarious. Best video I have seen on You Tube by far. I follow your channel and you do a great job on highlighting the good and the bad of every video you put out. But this one should win a prize. Absolutely brilliant banter. So much so you got all the cows enjoying you being there. I hope you got them to subscribe. LOL.
U must visit the northeast coastline from Newcastle all the way up to Scotland, some amazing places - Seahouses, Bamburgh, Holy Island, & inland some lovely towns - villages
Not only are you a perfectly fine estate agent you're also a great RUclipsr! I love watching your videos from here across the Atlantic in Chicago. I love England and would relocate there in a second if I could pull it off and not end up in one of those £500,000 hovels you've shown us! While London is probably well out of my range I'm curious about places like Torquay or beautiful, historic Avebury...
There is a small abandoned house on Grimwith reservoir in North Yorkshire. The whole walk around the reservoir is stunning (about 4.5 miles) It would make a great subject for one of your video's. You will struggle to find a steeper road going to the high side.
I think you are great at showing the lost history og the UK. Its great to see the areas of the UK abandoned due to social and economic issues, which I beleive is down to the greed and miss management of the councils and government of this country. Keep up the good work. I love the varied scenes of the UK. Great channel.
@@nicolad8822 The comment was a general comment about the history of his RUclips channel and not just this one on the local abandoned buildings due to their location.
As an add on if you haven’t already, could you do a vid on the house in the middle of the motorway(I think it might be M62?) The ones that refused to sell up and now surrounded by motorway… Think it would be especially interesting for international viewers 👌
@@wanderingturnip I’m sure if seen or heard about it before but imagine someone from outside the UK learning that it can actually happen? I spent a bit of time in Beijing before the Olympics and they literally razed(maybe incorrect word) the slums to make it look better! Those guys didn’t have a choice. Honestly keep up the good work, so humble, informed and non-judgemental. Love it bro x
Fascinating stuff!! The true story eventually came out about why Stott Hall Farm lies between the two carriageways of the M62 and apparently it's a myth that the owners refused to sell.. Apparently there was a geological fault line beneath the farmhouse and it was more practical for engineers to build around it.. a big compensation was allegedly paid for devaluation of the property! I much prefer the story that the owners refused to sell so ended up living in the middle of the motorway.. 😆
Love those beautiful houses! Dan at Escape To Rural France is rebuilding a chateau in similar condition to those houses - nothing is impossible! Love these tours, more please 😍
What I’m reminded by the few dense forest outcroppings is that this region was once covered with dense forests that were wiped off the land eons ago for firewood & a little for durable goods & shelter. Would be an awesome legacy to recreate the forests around these restored stone off-grid homesteads as getaway cottages.
I can imagine that being your girlfriend would be pretty entertaining. Wake up in an empty bed.. text on your phone says.. "I went to get us coffee and croissants" 5 mins later .." I saw a cool building and now I'm 500 miles into the moorlands and I've started a new life and have a pet cow , love you" 🤣
Love your Yorkshire and Lancs films, like this one. Please do more. Came here from Australia a few years back to my roots around Tod/Littleborough and Haworth is my favourite place here. Theres so much history needs preserving and which we're losing to corporate greed. England has so many social issues now but our roots, if you have them here, go deep. Cottages like these can be restored, it just takes a willingness and a very deep pocket too of course but to lose them is to lose our past. Clegg Hall in Rochdale was an abandoned ruin for decades. It took someone with vision to restore it from just an empty shell to its beauty now. Perhaps a visit and film on that would be awesome. Its aside the Canal in Littleborough so very close.
My trip to the Dales, beyond expectations. So beautiful. And you're a great estate agent, you're honest. You remind me I can't afford to move back even if they let me. TFS ❤️🏏🎸 P.S. drove thru the Moors at night, blackest black ever, thick with fog. Sadly, never saw a thing.
Ha, another very watchable vid, well done and please find time to carry on making such good quality viewing, there's so much carp on tv these days you should get you own series 😊 kind of Guy Martin without the petrol, many thanks again, your efforts are very much appreciated and enjoyed
I live close in Burnley area, I love exploring these places. So many abandoned buildings to see round trawden and on pendle . I love these houses and would live in them if I could. Great video.
Fabulous locations in Yorkshire. I just love houses built of Yorkshire stone. So solid and can take the battering from the weather. There are so many fantastic converted farmhouses in God's own county. I've just explored a unique, still commissioned, street with no road and no houses in Bradford.
For ppl asking about the history of these smallholdings. They would have been built around 1770 to 1850 - the former date because the early Inclosure Acts re-classified former 'common' or 'waste' land, plus there had been improvements in agriculture methods eg drainage/liming so eg local farmer's sons were gaining ownership rights and trying to set up their own place on peripheral upland land: the latter date because the Industrial Revolution eventually offered a better-paid, easier life. As well as sheep/goat/ducks and geese grazing large families would have conducted cottage industry production - nail-making, spinning and weaving, stone quarrying and dressing, coal and peat extraction, etc. Life was hard but one of these houses had a tied labourer's cottage (possibly family member). The yards were for livestock, in bad weather animals would be brought inside. They burned peat, also coal if local outcrops. There might have been say 10 people in a house, with large and
extended family structures. The stonework is very nice eg the corners, lintels, mullion windows. There were farm tracks which could take a horse and cart (kept in outbuilding) leading to roads. There are heavy metals in Pennine water so eg lead/iron poisoning was a problem in some places. All upland areas of the UK were poor and rural areas depopulated as the towns grew due to the Industrial Revolution - also emigration became an option. It's very rough in these places in winter - constant wind, driving rain, snow.
Fascinating thank you 👏
Glad if it sheds some light. I live in the area myself.
@@xeenie4973 But you didn't ,so pipe down pip squeak .
you say 'probably'. @@xeenie4973
Do you know how much they would sell for?
What a testament to the people that built these houses; 200+ years of being battered by the Yorkshire Moors & still standing strong.
As a British person I’m biased but I have to say the wild, rugged, beauty of Britain and it pastoral history is unparalleled.
I couldn’t agree more 👏👏
England.

It just makes you want to know more of the who , the what , the where , the when , and the why of the original build !
If you're going to be an estate agent, those aren't holes in the roof but skylights.
Open plan, in need of some modernisation. Skylights fitted throughout, original period features. Very friendly neighbours.
“I’ve gendered my drone” 😂. Amazing houses and moors. Would love to know more about the history - when they were last lived in etc. The wheelbarrow would definitely persuade me to make an offer 😃. I love being British. Adding a garden shed makes any property more attractive. Wish I had the money to renovate a house like that. Ted 😍
You have such a wonderful way with words. A joy to watch. Thanks for showing us these amazing places.
So well done - your videos just keep getting better and better! You’ve nailed the estate agent bit:)). And those cows! (And Ted:)).) Thank you!
It is an incredible place with beautiful views. It is very sad but that it is so abandoned and lonely. Thank you for showing it to us.
There is some stunning abandoned places in West Yorkshire and some crazy mills if you know where to look ;) top video W.T well done
You've made national papers making people aware of housing situations and high street desolation that they wouldn't otherwise be made aware of.
No estate agent would have the guts to do what you're doing.
...good choice of beer, too!
i'd live there in a heartbeat. i work in the construction industry and the expensive issue is laying the services: plumbing and electrical. You could probably set up solar, wind-power and ground source power. But then you have to sort a road and transport all the building materials. that's another expensive part. you better have 400k.
As always lad , another great episode 👏 keep up the good work .
Good to see you being proud of your history and country! This is the attitude that creates positive change
There are many houses like this in the Scottish Highlands,used to live near two of them
I’d love to go back in time and watch what the farmer family lived like in this house. Happy it’s been reclaimed by the cows. Great video as per x
It’s amazing what you find out there when walking about in the Dales and it’s very refreshing to go somewhere different than the usual hustle and bustle of cities.
Such wonderful houses. And the last one in such a lovely neighborhood. 🐮
Sorry, I’m gonna have to double post. Those cows were so beautiful, all of them asking politely for food. Such good girls.
Yeah they were ace. At first I panicked then they just seemed so chill 😂
Lovely to see it all again... thank you Mr Turnip ;)
I love your videos! Beautiful landscapes (sometimes), sense of humour (always) and more often than not a good bit of history. What's not to like :)
love your wandering about since finding you on you tube watch you every day love the one where you slept in an abandoned house also the dry stone walling one please keep up the good work also love your jumper logo 5 stars
.........the roofs not a problem.....😂 this video actually made me lol a few times. I love your enthusiasm and you look very cute in that hat! 😄💕
Some unkind person may have called you a bad estate agent, but don't let that worry you ; you are without doubt, a most marvellous video maker - always so interesting and articulate and very knowledgeable. Keep your superb videos coming (wish I could afford one of those deserted houses!) and if you ever come to Warwickshire, I will buy you a beer - that's a promise!
I’ll 100% you up on that beer 👏👏
Absolutely hilarious. Best video I have seen on You Tube by far. I follow your channel and you do a great job on highlighting the good and the bad of every video you put out.
But this one should win a prize. Absolutely brilliant banter. So much so you got all the cows enjoying you being there. I hope you got them to subscribe. LOL.
U must visit the northeast coastline from Newcastle all the way up to Scotland, some amazing places - Seahouses, Bamburgh, Holy Island, & inland some lovely towns - villages
Not only are you a perfectly fine estate agent you're also a great RUclipsr! I love watching your videos from here across the Atlantic in Chicago. I love England and would relocate there in a second if I could pull it off and not end up in one of those £500,000 hovels you've shown us! While London is probably well out of my range I'm curious about places like Torquay or beautiful, historic Avebury...
With allot of creativity and good knowledge of builders and all types of construction people you can turn it into a gem of a place.
Just subscribed as I was guilty of enjoying your videos. Absolutely brilliant Mr Burnip 😊
This is brilliant! You're an awesome estate agent,love it 😂😂
There is a small abandoned house on Grimwith reservoir in North Yorkshire. The whole walk around the reservoir is stunning (about 4.5 miles) It would make a great subject for one of your video's. You will struggle to find a steeper road going to the high side.
Ooo nice I’ll have to check it out thanks
Not only was this comedy gold, I actually wanted to buy the one with the open plan. I hope your drone feels better.
I think you are great at showing the lost history og the UK. Its great to see the areas of the UK abandoned due to social and economic issues, which I beleive is down to the greed and miss management of the councils and government of this country. Keep up the good work. I love the varied scenes of the UK. Great channel.
Pretty obvious not many wanted to live in those conditions even in th’olden days.
@@nicolad8822 The comment was a general comment about the history of his RUclips channel and not just this one on the local abandoned buildings due to their location.
Hilarious especially the guard cows 🤣 They had you pegged.
As an add on if you haven’t already, could you do a vid on the house in the middle of the motorway(I think it might be M62?) The ones that refused to sell up and now surrounded by motorway…
Think it would be especially interesting for international viewers 👌
That’s a great idea. I drive past there all the time and constantly wonder about it 👍
@@wanderingturnip I’m sure if seen or heard about it before but imagine someone from outside the UK learning that it can actually happen? I spent a bit of time in Beijing before the Olympics and they literally razed(maybe incorrect word) the slums to make it look better! Those guys didn’t have a choice. Honestly keep up the good work, so humble, informed and non-judgemental. Love it bro x
Fascinating stuff!! The true story eventually came out about why Stott Hall Farm lies between the two carriageways of the M62 and apparently it's a myth that the owners refused to sell.. Apparently there was a geological fault line beneath the farmhouse and it was more practical for engineers to build around it.. a big compensation was allegedly paid for devaluation of the property!
I much prefer the story that the owners refused to sell so ended up living in the middle of the motorway.. 😆
@@pimpozzaYes I think that’s closer to the truth.
That's not quite true. The motorway bypassed it due to the unsuitable land. Nothing to do with the people not wanting to move it was a myth
Fantastic, better than a lot of council houses I’ve seen, without the cows of course 😂
Love those beautiful houses! Dan at Escape To Rural France is rebuilding a chateau in similar condition to those houses - nothing is impossible! Love these tours, more please 😍
Harsh land to live there.
Beautiful yet scary .
No.1 looks like a local shop for local people!
The non roof property was flooded with beautiful light.. stunning ❤
What I’m reminded by the few dense forest outcroppings is that this region was once covered with dense forests that were wiped off the land eons ago for firewood & a little for durable goods & shelter. Would be an awesome legacy to recreate the forests around these restored stone off-grid homesteads as getaway cottages.
Your a great young man! Thank you I appreciate your wonderful vids
and thank you so much for watching 😀😀
Yeah. That second house has tremendous natural light... Your channel is a delight...
I love 🏴 England ♥️🙏🏻✨🇬🇧 Please be careful. I’ve only ever been been to the Lake District. Closest thing to Heaven on Earth. Cheers❣️
I can imagine that being your girlfriend would be pretty entertaining. Wake up in an empty bed.. text on your phone says.. "I went to get us coffee and croissants" 5 mins later .." I saw a cool building and now I'm 500 miles into the moorlands and I've started a new life and have a pet cow , love you" 🤣
😂😂
Or boyfriend
Paul Whitehouse - brilliant lad - luv what you are doing.
Really lovely place love those buildings that stone for me is stunning makes a lovely home
Great stuff. Lovely lads too. So nice to see a bit of community around the abandoned houses even if it's at one remove now they're ruins :)
I think ur a great estate agent,truthful, honest and positive.
Love your Yorkshire and Lancs films, like this one. Please do more. Came here from Australia a few years back to my roots around Tod/Littleborough and Haworth is my favourite place here. Theres so much history needs preserving and which we're losing to corporate greed. England has so many social issues now but our roots, if you have them here, go deep. Cottages like these can be restored, it just takes a willingness and a very deep pocket too of course but to lose them is to lose our past. Clegg Hall in Rochdale was an abandoned ruin for decades. It took someone with vision to restore it from just an empty shell to its beauty now. Perhaps a visit and film on that would be awesome. Its aside the Canal in Littleborough so very close.
My trip to the Dales, beyond expectations. So beautiful. And you're a great estate agent, you're honest. You remind me I can't afford to move back even if they let me. TFS ❤️🏏🎸
P.S. drove thru the Moors at night, blackest black ever, thick with fog. Sadly, never saw a thing.
Ha, another very watchable vid, well done and please find time to carry on making such good quality viewing, there's so much carp on tv these days you should get you own series 😊 kind of Guy Martin without the petrol, many thanks again, your efforts are very much appreciated and enjoyed
I live close in Burnley area, I love exploring these places. So many abandoned buildings to see round trawden and on pendle . I love these houses and would live in them if I could. Great video.
Fabulous locations in Yorkshire. I just love houses built of Yorkshire stone. So solid and can take the battering from the weather. There are so many fantastic converted farmhouses in God's own county. I've just explored a unique, still commissioned, street with no road and no houses in Bradford.
I’d love to hear more about that road you have just explored. Could you drop me an email on wanderingturnip2022@gmail.com
"I mean that's some postcard sh*t right there isn't it". I love it! This was your best video yet!
My kind of adventure!!
