- Video looking back at Ravensworth Castle near Lamesley. The video looks at the Castle at its best and the ruin we have left today. So sad to see what has happened to it. What a visitor attraction it would have been today. Not far off the Angel of the North. Not sure you can get to the ruin today as it is on private Land and I dont think the owner is happy for people to go and see it. I think it should be available for all to see what is left. I have enjoyed collecting photos for this one. Hope everyone enjoys.
It's a real shame it's been left to rot. In its day it was a magnificent building. Pity lottery money didn't go into restoring it instead of being given to any old project. This is history being wiped out.
Well said James
Another brilliant video hubby. So sad to see how it was then and now it is now.xxx
Thank you Wifey you know I like a bit of History
I grew up near there. As Joni said , "You don't know what you've got till it's gone"
Hi Colin my grandad taught me about ravensworth. It was added on to medieval ruins and the materials were used to make another. As far as it being left because of subsidence is a lie it was all about rich people past laws and regs and deals between them all. Such a shame but that’s why now no body is aloud near when it should be a massive attraction and joy to local people. There still hiding the truth behind it all mate
I often wondered why you could not get to it now. I know there is a couple of people have got to it and done a video. And your right it would be a big attraction to visit. We love going to see old ruins.
@@colinthegeordiehistorian10 you only get in if your in the circle mate hounestly it’s so sad. Like I said there was originally a medieval castle before and as far as I can understand it’s history has been lost through the posh men’s goings on behind our eyes😂
@@peterwinthorpe5152 Sad is the word Peter. You just never know what is going on behind the scenes. Open it up to the public thats what I say I would pay to visit
How beautiful. I love the way you put this together, a fascinating yet tragic glimpse in to the past. Thank you.
thank you for that Naz
Such a shame , my late Mother remembered playing in the dungeons, which turned out to be the kitchens and servants accommodation, we were allowed to visit some years ago but it is strictly no visiting now due to the dangerous condition.
i have files of info and its history, subsidence and death duties finished it off, but it has a rich history, A BBC programme was its last chance to save it but it didnt win so it will gradually continue to disintegrate and be reclaimed by nature , so sad. My uncle was at the tattoo in 1934.
Makes no sense to me that coalmine owners of Newcastle who sinse like the 1400 -1500s have had a monopoly on the coal trade in the northeast of England . Who were rich beond believe would mine underneath there ancestral home of hundreds of years. And then let it become a school and then to let it just fall to peaces into ruins . I woulnder who owned it before the liddell family and if they had any part of the American war of independence . Because i found out something very interesting about it and how men of Newcastle upon Tyne in the colonys pissed king George 3 off so bad the burgges and people of Newcastle upon Tyne write a letter to the king basically begging him for forgiveness due to there fellow toons men in the colonys refusal to pay colonial taxes to the king
Its literally just along from lobley hill why does everyone forget we exist no where near lamsley
That is insane that they just ripped the coal out from underneath... All about the 💰
Sad Tamson like a lot of places around the North East
@@colinthegeordiehistorian10 Same where we live, we love to visit what is left of our mining heritage 😃
A lot of stately homes were demolished because the rich toffs couldn't afford the death duties. Every brick in that place was cemented together by the blood of the working class. Thanks for the excellent presentation, all the same..
