Fancy coming across such a thing. It amasses me how many layers of villages there are from century back to the century before, all there waiting for someone to dig deep enough
@@AdventureMe That staircase in the cellars would definitely have been the access to get down there. Wouldn't it be marvelous if it wasn't in ruins, and you got to tour the vast attics still containing old furniture, and unwanted paraphernalia in that Grand old mansion?
I've come from an article in the T&A, born and bred in Bradford my whole life and I had no idea about this grand house that Sir Titus Salt built for his son! They really should teach you more about local history at school. It's a shame that this piece of history has gone to ruin. Thanks for taking the time to do this 👍🏽
@@AdventureMe Explore suggestion if your bored sometime the disused railway viaduct at Calder Grove (it's massive). The line passes over the viaduct through a field under the M1 and then into a massive tunnel that led to the pit at Crigg.
Just come across from Martin zero channel I have subscribed great video as was martins what a place is must have been it's hard to imagine the scale without all the trees quite a historical place to visit. Thanks for showing Martin around. See you in your next video stay safe.
I'm another one who's drifted in from Martin's Channel. I've just subscribed too so I'm looking forward to watching all your other videos. Looks like I've got plenty to catch up on. All the best to you. Stay safe.
Hi, new subscriber here. Stumbled upon your channel by pure accident. I see you have lots of interesting videos by the look of it. Plenty to go at here. I can’t believe the first video I watch, you have teamed up with Martin Zero, I also subscribe to his channel and watched a lot of his. It’s a small world as they say. Really enjoying this video so far. Your on the big screen tv, not many RUclipsrs make that grade haha. Take care 👍
Fantastic video thanks, really looking forward to part 2, I get to see two great explorers, you and Martin, going to have a look at this site at some point, cheers
Ooooh you've upped your game. Very professional video. A bit of Martin's influence I think. That place looks amazing. Reading the history surrounding it, it's so sad. What a shame they destroyed it. I'll have to go and have a look next time I'm in Saltaire. Thanks.
Just catching up after being n holiday. Your videos go from strength to strength. Great viewing, thanks for the time and effort you put in. Living in Birstall/ Batley, can't wait to watch next ones.
Great video, thanks for this. I live 5 mins walk away and never knew this was there.. must go take a look!! Not going in tho ha . Well done.. subscribed for more videos 👍👍😎
Glad you went down to take a look and filmed it - I don't think I would be brave enough - you mentioned a deadend then I suddenly understood the true meaning of the world. Mice or rats would have had me p.. ing in my pants. 13:10minshad me interested at how a tree has grown balanced on some old bricks.
Went up there this morning, so peaceful and calm. I said to my son there must be so many ghosts round here, just then a tree started creaking in a really eerie way . Very spooky
Great to get Martin on the proper side of the hills! Used to live near Shipley Glen when I was young and remember playing around these ruins. Back in the late 70s the then owners weren't keen on visitors but we all used to go there anyway.
Wow. Grew up playing here as a child with my friends and sisters. Don't think we ever went down into the cellars we were too scared!!!! Haunted mansion is was called as it was very scary as a child!!!!!
Might want another visit, as a group of locals have been digging out the foundations and there is so much more to see. You can walk up the steps by the smoking room and stand in the fireplace that has now been uncovered.
@AdventureMe Make sure you check out the Nursery Gardens, and the Garden Utility Sheds that are next to the recreation ground. As long as the local youths haven't trashed more of it, there are some good outbuildings still standing with fireplaces. There is some furniture, but hard to say if it's original or dumped.
@@AdventureMe if you go down in the woods the old quarry what's there still has the groves for the horse and carts and all the stone on the bridges on that line is from there. And if look on top they still is a bridge pillar top still there what never got delivered it's still there were they carved it out.
Came to you by way of Martin. Your channel is amazing. You have high quality editing skills and I love the way you overlaid the transparent graphics on the video. Too notch.
I have a video similar to this, where me and a friend explore the basement of an old mansion ruins in Blackburn! Its great fun finding bits of history like these! Really enjoyed watching this, nice one!
Great video guys, always on the look out for anything new. Explored here a number of years ago and experienced some very strange supernatural apparitions (Orbs)! Although local, needless to say we haven't explored much since apart from looking at the mosaic floor........
Great video Darren (I have put same comments on Martins site), I live just round the corner from Milner Field and the place fascinates me. I understand what you mean about the ghostly feeling at the end - it affects me most days!! Am sure I saw you guys loitering about. the other day ;-) Couple of things. Salts started in the Wool industry, then moved towards Alpaca's (through Titus Jnr) and it was this business venture that started the beginning of the end of the Salt Empire and he died in the billiard room as things started to go tits up - he was also financially affected by trying to create a Great Exhibition of the North in Saltaire, which would have matched the Great Exhibition of Crystal Palace if he'd have pulled it off (it went ahead as a lesser event which took a great financial toll). Also, although Titus Snr built most of the Model Village of Saltaire (UNESCO World Heritage site) it was James Roberts who built the park as his contribution to the village. He was the 2nd to last owner of Milner Field and was affected by tragedy like the rest of the owners. The house was beyond anything else in the area, finest materials, no expense spared. There was gas, electric, running water, and a few yards to the North of where you guys filmed was a massive walled country / kitchen garden, the remains again which are still there. It produced a massive amount of produce, more than likely served fresh, but maybe stored in the cellars you visited. There was also a boating lake and stables / gallops. The place was so 'posh' there were two royal visits there in the late 1800's. Two other remaining remnants are the North and South coach houses either end of Coach Road (North Lodge, sometimes called East Lodge is actually renovated and lived in). The working farm is still going at the bottom of the fields and keeps close links on social media to the original place. Titus Snr himself wasn't teetotal, but he had seen the state of the workers in his former inner city Bradford Mills, so decided to create them a village to be proud of and create an environment where they would thrive. There was method in his madness too, as it increased productivity and it was rare for workers to miss a shift. Titus Snr lived at Crownest in Lightcliffe, another grand old house sadly gone, though again you can see remains if you know where to look. My pics from last year flic.kr/s/aHskqPgQH4 for a great book saltsmillshop.co.uk/products/milner-field-the-lost-coutry-house-of-titus-salt-jnr and here for a nice piece of history or looking for somewhere gothic to live :-) www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/heritage-and-retro/heritage/last-surviving-part-salt-familys-lost-mansion-rent-2913232
Cheers for all that info mate. Appreciated. In my second Milner Field video. I visit the stables and a few of the other sites you mentioned. I'm planning on going back to do the gardeners quarters and hopefully the farm too.
Saltaire: A community that thrived long after the mill had goneTitus Salt Jnr commissioned the house in 1873, soon after he had married Catherine Crossley, a daughter of the Halifax carpet manufacturing dynasty. It had an octagonal kitchen based on Glastonbury Abbey's, an orangery, a billiard room decorated with medieval court scenes, a croquet lawn and an 81ft domed glasshouse. The then-Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VII, visited as did Princess Beatrice, the youngest daughter of Queen Victoria. But tragedy struck when Sir Titus Jnr died in the billiard room in 1887, having been diagnosed with a heart condition two years earlier. By this point, the business was struggling - exports to America were affected by steep tariffs, and changing fashions meant there was less demand for wool. Badly-judged investments in mining and iron production in America exacerbated the financial difficulties. He had lived in the house for just 18 years.
Great video Darren, being watching since I came across your crashed bomber video, I have been viewing Martins films for ages and was pleasantly surprised when you both teamed up, excellent content, you replied to a comment I made a while back to say you were bobbing over to my neck of the woods which you have, this Milner Field collaboration was a beauty, incidentally Salts Mill has a subterranean reservoir under neath, if you can get access and permission that would make a fascinating video. Cheers. Richard
Cheers Richard, yes it was good fun. I have a Saltaire video coming with martin too later. And i'm doing Shipley Glen soon. The reservoir would be fantastic, i'll drop them an email. Thanks.
Hi iv only watched the start if your video so far but your on what you thought was the entrance drive with the arch way it isn't that was a lawn the arch is about 30 meters to your left some of it is still standing. The small flight of steps with the gate posts actually belonged to a much older Manor house that was on the site
Ahh that explains why I couldn't find it. I was told some of it was still there, that's why I said in the video it must have been demolished recently. It's hard to tell in those trees.
If id known I'd have met you up there iv been exploring that place for year the name milner fields was given to the place by my ancestors so iv allways had a soft spot for that place. Have you been up the old railway from shipley before by any chance
@@BeardedReality I really play around with my settings, you will see in some of my videos that it's not so great, and then some where it's perfect. Even the milner field video I think I did two completely different settings due to the low light. But I also play with mine in after effects.
Top5s brought me here because this place was in their clips purported to be haunted. I hear some evps. When you talk about the pile emerging a lady says "Gate house." at 3:24. She was talking to you! When you're down in the cellar and say 'absolutely intact cellar!' an older man who sounds like a butler says quickly at 6:56 "Very fine" Kinda creepy.

During the 1800s boom years of the Yorkshire textile industry many rich men built impressive mansions. Then many of them lost sons in wars in Empire, Balaclava, Sudan, Boer War, WW1 and WW2 so by 1945 there were no more heirs and the new death duty had taken a lot of ready cash so many relatives refused to accept mansions and all the costs and had them dynamited instead. Lots of the original mill owners were expected to find cushy jobs for relataives and eventually the drain on the profits was one of reason for lack of investment and modernisation. The 'South Riding' novel explains this and is good reading for industrial historians. I saw a video showing many big houses suddenly dropping into dust. Tolson Museum in Hiddersfield used to have a series of portraits of previous family all in military officers uniform with plenty medals and such and dates showed they all died in different wars until none left. Old churches generally have lots of memorial plaques to the sons and husbands of officers of local regiments killed in old wars and campaigns.
Wow great video, iv noticed that all around the world old building like this were destroyed around 1890 to 1950 and I believe the wars were used to do this also the world fairs in America and hear in England along with the great fires of the 1900 its crazy and very suspicious
The large arch for the entrance is still there, the tops just fallen in. You must of missed it on your way in. Cause that's not the main entrance. But those steps at the start of the video are from the original house.
Another fascinating bit of industrial archaeology (or remnants of property borne of industrial wealth). Wuz yer 'ard 'ats? I'd be more frightened of knocking mysel' senseless than of a few spiders! Was the fatality rate sheer coincidence or house related? I guess we'll never know, but the death certificates (and age at death) would be interesting.
You should have shown the exact spot(Billiard room) where Salt Jnr died from the heart attack. It is just off the mosaic tiled floor of the conservatory.
Great video. I visited the site last week. You mentioned the lost boating lake. It’s still there just below the house but drained. The breached dam wall and sluice gate machinery are still there and at the top of the dam stream the ornate stone inlet for the beck. There might be evidence of the boat house too.
Were any investigations done into the cause of death. It must've been the same thing in the house that killed them. There were lots of unkown killers in the victorian era. e.g. arsenic wallpaper, carbon monoxide from gas lighting, etc...
I think they were all different reasons, and random things. Like Heart Failure, Falls, TB, Trampled by a Horse etc.. But everyone who lived there seemed to die within a few years one way or another.
The original Milner Field dwelling was just up the road and dated from the middle ages (where the remains of THIS Milner Fields kitchen gardens are. Titus Jnr bought the whole lot of land, built a new house and razed the existing, and people say the curse cam from this act.

I saw a video showing many big houses suddenly dropping into dust.
Tolson Museum in Hiddersfield used to have a series of portraits of previous family all in military officers uniform with plenty medals and such and dates showed they all died in different wars until none left.
Old churches generally have lots of memorial plaques to the sons and husbands of officers of local regiments killed in old wars and campaigns.
Back in Vics day those long cobbles were often laid pon a bed of Ash, bottle glass, gingers etc,
Isnt that gilstead not saltaire?
Most probably, or Bingley.
Wow great video, iv noticed that all around the world old building like this were destroyed around 1890 to 1950 and I believe the wars were used to do this also the world fairs in America and hear in England along with the great fires of the 1900 its crazy and very suspicious
Thanks for watching.
Great videos, very interesting.
*Tip: wear a mic for better sound quality.
Cheers, yes I have bought one since. I couldn't wear it on that day, I wanted it to pick up martin and we were foraging around which doesn't help.
i went here recently and a rock has slipped further into the entrance of the cellar making it hard/ not possible to acsess :(
Someone probably moved it.
grew up around there, it was known as a haunted/spooky place by local kids in the 70`s
It's still spooky now.
Makes you wounder why it wasn't saved when did Titus salt jnr pass away and did he run the mill after his dad
He did run the mill, but down hill.
The large arch for the entrance is still there, the tops just fallen in. You must of missed it on your way in. Cause that's not the main entrance. But those steps at the start of the video are from the original house.
Yes, I have since discovered it. I found it on a recent visit. At least I can do a part 3 now lol
@@AdventureMe that's good. New subscriber anyway. Martin zero best watch out. Got competition now 😜
@@RoperMotorsportTV Welcome Aboard. Plenty more to come.
Just watched the new reveal of the walls and you wouldn't think it was the same location.
I didn't see any abutments in this video 😂
Another fascinating bit of industrial archaeology (or remnants of property borne of industrial wealth). Wuz yer 'ard 'ats? I'd be more frightened of knocking mysel' senseless than of a few spiders! Was the fatality rate sheer coincidence or house related? I guess we'll never know, but the death certificates (and age at death) would be interesting.
I think the deaths were random things, but all whilst they lived at the property and within so many years.
You should have shown the exact spot(Billiard room) where Salt Jnr died from the heart attack. It is just off the mosaic tiled floor of the conservatory.
Part 2. Although, it was very overgrown.
Could you please record your audio mono to stereo or something because you're voice is swinging from one side to the other and it's mad like. Xx
All fixed now. This was an earlier issue I had two years back.
Hand Grenades do not damage regular size house bricks. This place was destroyed / erased just like the Real Past always is.
Great video. I visited the site last week. You mentioned the lost boating lake. It’s still there just below the house but drained. The breached dam wall and sluice gate machinery are still there and at the top of the dam stream the ornate stone inlet for the beck. There might be evidence of the boat house too.
Yes so I heard, I will have to go back and do an update.
Adventure(ME = 33)
Were any investigations done into the cause of death. It must've been the same thing in the house that killed them. There were lots of unkown killers in the victorian era. e.g. arsenic wallpaper, carbon monoxide from gas lighting, etc...
I think they were all different reasons, and random things. Like Heart Failure, Falls, TB, Trampled by a Horse etc.. But everyone who lived there seemed to die within a few years one way or another.
The original Milner Field dwelling was just up the road and dated from the middle ages (where the remains of THIS Milner Fields kitchen gardens are. Titus Jnr bought the whole lot of land, built a new house and razed the existing, and people say the curse cam from this act.

I used parts of that for my research. Cheers.
Wow if you’re scared of cave spiders enter at your own risk!!
Exactly, and more than you can see on video.
11:10 oh come on, don't be such a wuss, you're a grown man. They're probably a harmless common UK species of spider.
But it was looking at me..
@@AdventureMe I believe they're Cave Spiders. Quite common in old tunnels and dark, out of the way places. They can grow to to a decent size too but, as far as I know, they're perfectly harmless. I'm a bit of an arachnophobe myself so I was cringing with you at the point they were right up by your head.
Yes, I wish I hadn't seen them.
lol Scared if spiders? Come on mate, Youre more of a threat than they are.
But they were looking at me, they were that big, I could see into their souls.
The presenter is a bit of alright
Thank You lol
