Love your videos. I am bedbound and have been for 10 years. I love nature. One of my greatest pleasures used to be walks. Now I'm stuck in a tiny flat and am in constant pain. Your videos bring me great joy. Thank you!♡
I'm so sorry you're in such pain; my mother was likewise afflicted for a few years, and I wish she could have seen my videos, which might have been a similar joy to her. I'm glad to be able to make them, and glad that they're enjoyable for people unable to go for walks themselves anymore.
I have enjoyed all of your videos, so far. I am rationing them as I'm down to the last 10. (7-8am Coffee, Cat and Tom) I appreciate you asking your viewers for input as it adds an extra layer of enjoyment. Please carry on as you are doing a fine job.
I don't think I need an award, I'm just doing my fair share of what needs to be done... wish I could do more, but, with my videos I'm inspiring a few more people to do a bit too. 🙂
Trixie JJ Hear! Hear! Tom, your humble nature and consideration for the environment and others are just 2 of the main reasons why I love your channel and will always support it. Cheers to you mate!
An enjoyable lark and some interesting finds. I was thinking.... I suffer with ill health (M.E), and often struggle to get further than my bed which is a massive frustration to me as, like you, I love getting out and exploring places on the rare occasions that I’m able. So I got to thinking.... I wonder if anyone has thought of creating a “come with me” app.... an app for sick and housebound people to log on to and choose from a variety of activities from mudlarking and beachcombing to white water rafting, skiing or any number of activities and kind people such as yourself, also log on and livestream your adventures so that people can get virtually out and have a real-time experience of the activities they love but are unable to do. If only I were clever enough to create such an app...
There's quite a few tunnels on that stream, I'd be happy to explore them with you when it's safe... or tell you the access points and exit points. This is the textile mill one a mile upriver from here; it looks like waders would be needed for parts but it's one I'd love to try: www.urbexforums.com/showthread.php/16505-Dean-Clough-Mill-Hebble-Beck-Halifax-report-10-03-2012
Tom, another thoroughly enjoyable video. The car part you couldn't identify is either an oil or diesel filter, probably from a commercial vehicle. The chocolate factory originally belonged to John Mackintosh & Co, prior to their merger with Rowntrees, to become Rowntree Mackintosh.
Thanks Michael; I thought it looked like it could be a filter of something. It was fascinating reading about the history of the place, I forgot it was originally a Mackintosh place when I recounted info about it; perhaps because I got too caught up in trying to find out if there was any known slavery in quality street's history.
Thanks, as always for this video, Tom. Between the dulcet tones of your voice and guitar accompaniment, and your selection of places to explore, I find any stress and anxiety that I may have simply drain away while watching. Tom Burleigh videos; a prescription for mental health!
Ooooo is that the view from your house? If it is you are so lucky, thank you for sharing your video, yes plz take someone with you in the tunnels 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Tom, I really do love listening to your thoughts as you walk, And your caring attitude toward the environment is heart warming, I can’t get out much as I have an autistic daughter and a husband who is a cancer patient, your videos are a small escape for me, thank you xx
I'm with you Tom on the Nestle thing- never buy their products which breaks my heart because they now own everything that is chocolate- well it feels like that including one of my favourites - Kit Kat. Big conglomerate profiteering companies...oof! don't let me get on my soap box....(or chocolate box). I used to live in Halifax and grew up there before moving to Hebden Bridge. I remember the factory that used to make the chocolate- some days the whole town would smell of coco- nut or just chocolate depending on what particular product they were producing that day. Also on another matter - it breaks my heart to see so many lovely old buildings being left to rot and collapse in the north of England, if you ever venture into Lacashire it is the same story- Burnley springs to mind.
I’m in my 60s and I still don’t buy Nestles! The walkway you are on is cool. I am amazed that you can see a corroded piece of metal and know what it is! With masks, now is your chance to go to the Thames with Nicola! You will still be like Zorro or the Lone Ranger....annonimity preserved.😀
Enjoyed seeing all the Buddleia (Buddleja) along the waterways. I enjoy the horticulture portions of your wanderings. The view from what looks like a castle window is lovely. (That's one deep windowsill.) Thank you.
Thanks Marina, I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It's not my usual sort of environment, I enjoyed exploring it a bit... but I was a little unsure whether most people would though. 🙂
I’m guessing that the guitar music is played by you, it adds some atmosphere to your video. Thanks for another look at some northern England areas. The view through your window at the end is very picturesque. An enjoyable video.
Thank you. Yes, the guitar music is my amateur music, I'm not much of a player, too many other things getting in the way of improving, but I do enjoy writing occasional pieces for these videos. I'm glad you found the video enjoyable. 🙂
It never occurred to me that it’s you playing the guitar, Tom. The music is what made me watch a video of you some time back in 2019 and since then I have watched all your videos, you have a very unique way of filmmaking. Looking forward to the next one :-)
That was enjoyable and interesting as always. I would welcome more videos like this one where you take us exploring in the tunnel systems. I agree re Nestle. I have been avoiding their products for a number of years now, not always successfully as they own and have shares in other companies. We can only do our best in whatever small way. Carry on doing what you do best xxx
Thank you. I'm glad there seem to be quite a few people watching who know enough about Nestle to want to avoid them; I was rather vague because I can imagine them being a bit litigious against criticism; particularly as I'm theoretically making money out of what I say. I'm glad you enjoyed the video too 🙂
I'm with you on Nestle-corporate criminals in my opinion. In the US, they have gotten perpetual contracts for water supply for practically nothing and are lowering the local water tables. Corporate 'citizens' (there's a grim lie) need to be humbled and taken down for crooked, destructive and harmful acts.
@@vilstef6988 I agree, wish money could be taken out of politics; which would mean proper protections for the environment and marginalised communities would at least have a chance of being passed and kept. Corporations have gotten away with so much, it's horrifying.
@@tom_burleigh Major agreement on that, Tom! Corporations are not people, and they certainly are ready to hurt all and sundry for their dirty dollar or putrid pound. We would be so much better off without the corrupt corporate money in politics, but even if it were by a miracle removed the dirty dealers would do all things foul to bring it back.
The beauty of the amazing brick paths, the old windows. Butterfly bushes are just gorgeous and the smell is sweet smelling like honey. Thanks for the walk.
I’d be interested in seeing the rest of the tunnel! it is absolutely amazing to me to see the intricate stonework on both sides of the creek canal whatever it is.
I see by reading the comments that you composed and play the incidental music on your videos. I enjoy it very much, it’s one of the reasons I like your videos so much. The tunnels are interesting to explore and I’m impressed by your knowledge of how many there are and what sits above them. I hope you always check the weather before tunneling, it wouldn’t take long for a stream to become a raging flood down those narrow streambeds.
Thanks for the mention Tom! We would love to visit that place. I loved seeing all the old stonework. Places like that are strangely beautiful, even in such a state of decay. Great video, thoroughly enjoyable and once again, you have made me yearn for a Yorkshire visit! Thank you :)
Do you think you could manage the bit where I got out (the graffiti gallery)? I think that's the best option of going down stream towards where I started... (a bit grotty though), and the upstream bit is OK too (apart from the Chocolate factory tunnel and approach being a bit dull. I'm very much looking forward to when you can visit Yorkshire again, it's always fun watching what you film (and filming with you when it's possible). 🙂
@@tom_burleigh I'm happy to give it a try :) You know me, I'll get there somehow, but I may not look glamorous while I get there! (remember the waterfall incident? lol) We can;t wait to meet up with you again some time in the future. Till then, we shall have to make do with watching your videos, listening to your commentary and pretending we are there :D
As always loved the video. There is one thing I have been wanting to say and I guess today is the day...you find copper wire like Nicola White finds clay pipes and Mr. Johnson finds bricks. 😆 Guess you each have the one thing that stands out to you. Anyway happy treasure hunting and stay safe! 😷
Thanks Kim. You're right of course, I do seem to have tuned myself in to finding copper and brass things... I think it's since I decided I wanted to get a forge and to learn metal working; I've been saving it all up. 🙂
Interesting video. The subterranean creek was interesting as was the graffiti and the ceiling structure. I think for my tastes I like the hunting out in nature and daylight. Places where there is less wire and trash and more fossils, pottery and historical items. Truth is I will continue to watch as your dialog is always quirky and interesting.
Thanks Cheryl. The majority of my videos will always be out in nature and daylight; if for no other reason than there just aren't that many tunnels to explore around here... I enjoy both environments, but mostly I enjoy exploring new quiet places, where people rarely go. 🙂
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I thought it was modest; but that's perhaps because I was more cautious than usual... and it felt like I shied away from some challenging bits that I would usually have tackled head on. 🙂
Yes I’d love to see you and Caroline and Phil explore the tunnel. No caves for me, mind you. But a tunnel would be fun! And yes I bet Phil knows what every piece of that iron is. Thanks for the video Tom. It was a little scary and creepy, just enough to get the heart racing a bit. Bye for now!
Thanks Lynn, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope I can film with Caroline and Phil again before too long, they're lovely company. This pesky Pandemic has stopped so much, temporarily.
I'm not sure that the tunnel would really be Caroline's cup of tea. They might be interested in the heap of iron & Phil in any bricks though. Maybe Manky would like the drain pipe to play in?
Thanks Laura, if did feel very good to be wading; I've missed it so much. I hope I can find a friend to traverse the bigger tunnels with me; these ones were easy to get to, the bigger ones are quite difficult in comparison, but it's certainly something I want to do.🙂
Thank you for another really interesting walk. I didn't know I liked looking at these old hidden industrial areas, it would be interesting to know any other factory names it would be good to try and find old photographs to see out it used to look. But as always a great walk. Liked the torch!
Thanks Tom, that little adventure was as fascinating as always, i've often wondered what it was like down there and now i know, your historical and botanical knowledge is an education I look forward to when joining you on your hunts.
Thanks Mark. I'm hoping to get further; I have waders that I've never had a chance to use, so perhaps on a colder day (as long as the river isn't too high), I might make it all the way through, and underneath Dean Clough. 🙂 Most of my historical knowledge is freshly aquired before I go to a place, and my botanical knowledge is fresh too... an interest I've only picked up in the last year or so.
I was so glad that you had the Olight with you. I would love to see you go further, but I'm glad that you'll have someone along with you when you do. Thank you for taking us along with you. Stay safe please.
Another fascinating video Tom. The brickwork and paving stones in the tunnels are beautiful. So thankful that you are brave enough to go in there and share it with us. I am not afraid of things that go bump in the night - more afraid of twisting my ankle. I was relieved when you said you would go back with someone else. The graveyard walk that you mentioned sounds awesome as well. You could do a collaboration with the Northern Mudlarks as Alex likes graveyards walks as well, but not sure how the distance would be especially in these still uneasy times. Thank you also for the clean-up you do as well as boycotting companies that have unethical practices!
I can't send anything out for a while yet; still shielding... but I've been storing a lot of things that I doubt I'll ever use, so I'd be glad to get them to you when I can. I can't think of anything off the top of my head; I think I shaped a lot of my interests around the things I've found a lot of... so Copper, mostly. 🙂I've purchased a craft table to work on (arriving in 3-6 weeks) and moved into a nice cottage, less cramped than where I was staying... so perhaps when I've really gotten into the crafting again, I'll think of something.
Love looking at all the old stone work walls and tunnels ! Perhaps because my father was a stone mason , to me they are beautiful. I think your new light is a good one and i think I will look into getting one if I can. Your view from your window looks beautiful, but something makes me want to run out and plant tree seeds everywhere ahh well i think we need more trees. Beautiful video as always! :)
Thanks Debra, the stonework is beautiful to me too. The new light is excellent for tunnels, but... very expensive. I certainly think it's good for specialist purposes, but whether it's worth it or not is dependant on your purposes... if just for night time walking there's plenty of good for that torches costing a lot less. I agree, we certainly need more trees... there are a few fields given back over to tree planting each year around here; it does need to be a lot more. Thankfully the water company who own large swathes of land around reservoirs near here have committed to planting 5 million trees in the next few years. 🙂
@@tom_burleigh I use a cheap head lamp with stretchy material when I go into dark places, bought it for 2 dollars and it is very brite but the inner workings always seems to loosen so I have to tap it now and then to work right. Wow that's wonderful! Where I live in Pennsylvania, there are so many trees dying from the wood borer and white rot it's scary. So I have taken to spreading tree seeds this year and during the winter will start and next spring hope to plant nut trees for the wild life around here. I really want to plant chestnuts and hazelnuts and native beechnuts.
Hi Tom, I have been binge watching your videos on tv, which is why I miss posting comments. I truly enjoy your videos and the fact that you pick up trash. I also pick up trash that I find in my local park and am not a fan of Nestle’s. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Julie 🥰
Hello Tom, sorry for my ignorance but why were there two lovely old construction of pathways. It looks too narrow for towing things along the path. Thoroughly enjoyed accompaning you on your walk, shame you cannot get to the Thames this year. Never say never, maybe one day soon. Love and light 👍
Thank Jane. I think the paths were really just to allow people to get to the places they worked; there were a lot of buildings crammed into a small space, so the pathways were narrow, and cross backwards and forwards accross the stream because they weren't planned before the buildings (and some of the buildings probably weren't all that planned either). Yes, hopeful I might be able to get to the Thames next year... but there's still plenty of spots around here I have still to expore in the meantime. 🙂
First time watching your video. That piece of pottery has been broken for a long time, the edges are worn smooth, looks like cordware. Which can be very old. The brickwork of the watercourse is beautiful.
Hi Tom. I always smile to see your update of a new video. Traveling through tunnels was new and fun to observe. Going with a friend does seem safer! Such a pretty butterfly, and I'd enjoy seeing you peruse that first pile of metal bits. All the Best. Tere
Think the brook will be a little higher than this at the moment, might be low enough for some good finds towards the tail end of Summer after a dry spell. Hope you find some interesting things whenever you go looking 🙂
It was a another special day spent with you. I do so miss the sound of you sloshing thru the water, it was a treat, if only for a moment. I adore the little bowl, so cute, so many uses! Your eye has become much more practiced at finding things, but I do so miss the early days of walking the beaches and being excited over a teapot spout (where have they all gone?), a gaming dice, or even a small pipe stem...all brought a feeling of triumph and happiness -- to you and your followers! Until next time, stay safe and keep those you cherish close!
Thanks Marina. I'm very lucky to be living here; the light on the hills is ever changing. I've walked past this house many times, but having it as a base will allow me to walk further into the hills than I've ever managed. 🙂
Here in the US we have an invasive plant called Kudzu, also from Japan. It got the nickname “ the plant that ate the south”. It takes over everything it touches.
Thank you Tom. It's so nice to have a light on your adventures. Your walks through history really bring home to me how much older European history is than ours. All that laborious brickwork along those forgotten streams. The London Thames is , with all the traffic, much cleaner now and Nicola White and Si among others, seem quite safe. I hope you won't wait a year and a half or so. The look through your window was amazing, what a magnificent view of old dwellings down the hillside and the mysterious dark movement of the clouds..... I can't say enough, it's a tonic to my soul. Cheers, Rik Spector
Good to see nature coming back to abandoned places.
🙂Absolutely... it's a pleasure to see it, and help it a little bit if I can.

I have enjoyed all of your videos, so far. I am rationing them as I'm down to the last 10. (7-8am Coffee, Cat and Tom) I appreciate you asking your viewers for input as it adds an extra layer of enjoyment. Please carry on as you are doing a fine job.

Thanks Cheryl. The majority of my videos will always be out in nature and daylight; if for no other reason than there just aren't that many tunnels to explore around here... I enjoy both environments, but mostly I enjoy exploring new quiet places, where people rarely go. 🙂
Modest adventure? Hardly.
Most enjoyable, cheers.
(Thanks for naming the plants, the buddleia was lovely)
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yes, I thought it was modest; but that's perhaps because I was more cautious than usual... and it felt like I shied away from some challenging bits that I would usually have tackled head on. 🙂
The view out of your window looks like a painting. Lovely.
Lovely video, I really enjoyed you walking up the stream and seeing all of the history there.
Watching this on Xmas eve 2020 and wishing for warmer times, flowers, and butterflies. Merry Christmas!
Yes I’d love to see you and Caroline and Phil explore the tunnel. No caves for me, mind you. But a tunnel would be fun! And yes I bet Phil knows what every piece of that iron is. Thanks for the video Tom. It was a little scary and creepy, just enough to get the heart racing a bit. Bye for now!
Thanks Lynn, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope I can film with Caroline and Phil again before too long, they're lovely company. This pesky Pandemic has stopped so much, temporarily.
I'm not sure that the tunnel would really be Caroline's cup of tea. They might be interested in the heap of iron & Phil in any bricks though. Maybe Manky would like the drain pipe to play in?
So glad to see you wading again. The tunnels, with light, were wonderful. Thanks! Yes to a wader- clad film of the long tunnel.
Thanks Laura, if did feel very good to be wading; I've missed it so much. I hope I can find a friend to traverse the bigger tunnels with me; these ones were easy to get to, the bigger ones are quite difficult in comparison, but it's certainly something I want to do.🙂
Thank you for another really interesting walk. I didn't know I liked looking at these old hidden industrial areas, it would be interesting to know any other factory names it would be good to try and find old photographs to see out it used to look. But as always a great walk. Liked the torch!
Beautiful butterfly!!
Have missed your walks/exploring...
Also the veiw from your window is beautiful.
Thanks Tom, that little adventure was as fascinating as always, i've often wondered what it was like down there and now i know, your historical and botanical knowledge is an education I look forward to when joining you on your hunts.
Thanks Mark. I'm hoping to get further; I have waders that I've never had a chance to use, so perhaps on a colder day (as long as the river isn't too high), I might make it all the way through, and underneath Dean Clough. 🙂 Most of my historical knowledge is freshly aquired before I go to a place, and my botanical knowledge is fresh too... an interest I've only picked up in the last year or so.
I was so glad that you had the Olight with you. I would love to see you go further, but I'm glad that you'll have someone along with you when you do. Thank you for taking us along with you. Stay safe please.
What a gorgeous view from your window!
It really is; I'm very lucky to be living here, the light is ever changing. 🙂
Yes on edge is true but still loved the adventure. What a lovely view to have from a window.
Another fascinating video Tom. The brickwork and paving stones in the tunnels are beautiful. So thankful that you are brave enough to go in there and share it with us. I am not afraid of things that go bump in the night - more afraid of twisting my ankle. I was relieved when you said you would go back with someone else. The graveyard walk that you mentioned sounds awesome as well. You could do a collaboration with the Northern Mudlarks as Alex likes graveyards walks as well, but not sure how the distance would be especially in these still uneasy times. Thank you also for the clean-up you do as well as boycotting companies that have unethical practices!
Wonderful adventure thank you
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Avery enjoyable walk. Take care be safe and happy.
Your videos make me very relaxed. I wish you could post more
Thank you for the offer of the doll bits and ornaments it is appreciated. Out of interest is there anything we could be looking out for you? :)
I can't send anything out for a while yet; still shielding... but I've been storing a lot of things that I doubt I'll ever use, so I'd be glad to get them to you when I can. I can't think of anything off the top of my head; I think I shaped a lot of my interests around the things I've found a lot of... so Copper, mostly. 🙂I've purchased a craft table to work on (arriving in 3-6 weeks) and moved into a nice cottage, less cramped than where I was staying... so perhaps when I've really gotten into the crafting again, I'll think of something.
You have got a very good headlamp they make a fantastic product I use it constantly
Love looking at all the old stone work walls and tunnels ! Perhaps because my father was a stone mason , to me they are beautiful. I think your new light is a good one and i think I will look into getting one if I can. Your view from your window looks beautiful, but something makes me want to run out and plant tree seeds everywhere ahh well i think we need more trees. Beautiful video as always! :)
Thanks Debra, the stonework is beautiful to me too. The new light is excellent for tunnels, but... very expensive. I certainly think it's good for specialist purposes, but whether it's worth it or not is dependant on your purposes... if just for night time walking there's plenty of good for that torches costing a lot less. I agree, we certainly need more trees... there are a few fields given back over to tree planting each year around here; it does need to be a lot more. Thankfully the water company who own large swathes of land around reservoirs near here have committed to planting 5 million trees in the next few years. 🙂
@@tom_burleigh I use a cheap head lamp with stretchy material when I go into dark places, bought it for 2 dollars and it is very brite but the inner workings always seems to loosen so I have to tap it now and then to work right. Wow that's wonderful! Where I live in Pennsylvania, there are so many trees dying from the wood borer and white rot it's scary. So I have taken to spreading tree seeds this year and during the winter will start and next spring hope to plant nut trees for the wild life around here. I really want to plant chestnuts and hazelnuts and native beechnuts.
Beautiful view from your window. Nice video.
Thank you. I agree, haven't lived in this house for long but I don't think I'll ever tire of looking out of that window. 🙂
Hi Tom, I have been binge watching your videos on tv, which is why I miss posting comments. I truly enjoy your videos and the fact that you pick up trash. I also pick up trash that I find in my local park and am not a fan of Nestle’s. Thank you for sharing your adventures. Julie 🥰
Hello Tom, sorry for my ignorance but why were there two lovely old construction of pathways. It looks too narrow for towing things along the path. Thoroughly enjoyed accompaning you on your walk, shame you cannot get to the Thames this year. Never say never, maybe one day soon. Love and light 👍
Thank Jane. I think the paths were really just to allow people to get to the places they worked; there were a lot of buildings crammed into a small space, so the pathways were narrow, and cross backwards and forwards accross the stream because they weren't planned before the buildings (and some of the buildings probably weren't all that planned either). Yes, hopeful I might be able to get to the Thames next year... but there's still plenty of spots around here I have still to expore in the meantime. 🙂
First time watching your video.
That piece of pottery has been broken for a long time, the edges are worn smooth, looks like cordware. Which can be very old.
The brickwork of the watercourse is beautiful.
I really enjoy your walks and these tunnels were fascinating! :-)
I so enjoyed hearing your voice and the sound of your feet walking through the water. Thank you so much. I Love the view out the window!!
Hi Tom. I always smile to see your update of a new video. Traveling through tunnels was new and fun to observe. Going with a friend does seem safer! Such a pretty butterfly, and I'd enjoy seeing you peruse that first pile of metal bits. All the Best. Tere
hello i live in halifax 12 years,and next trip its find something :)
Think the brook will be a little higher than this at the moment, might be low enough for some good finds towards the tail end of Summer after a dry spell. Hope you find some interesting things whenever you go looking 🙂
It was a another special day spent with you. I do so miss the sound of you sloshing thru the water, it was a treat, if only for a moment. I adore the little bowl, so cute, so many uses! Your eye has become much more practiced at finding things, but I do so miss the early days of walking the beaches and being excited over a teapot spout (where have they all gone?), a gaming dice, or even a small pipe stem...all brought a feeling of triumph and happiness -- to you and your followers! Until next time, stay safe and keep those you cherish close!
Just found your channel. Thank you so much for sharing. Lovely to see and your voice is soo calming :) Keep up the brilliant work.
7:11 - I think probably those lines are throwing ridges, rather than coils. Happy you are starting to pick up pottery! :D
Thanks Katy, I think you're probably right, I have a lot to learn about pottery. 🙂
The headtorch proved useful. It shed a useful amount of light.
Love the sound of the water, what a beautiful view you have from your window when you were reviewing the torch and talking through your finds 🙂
Thanks Marina. I'm very lucky to be living here; the light on the hills is ever changing. I've walked past this house many times, but having it as a base will allow me to walk further into the hills than I've ever managed. 🙂
Here in the US we have an invasive plant called Kudzu, also from Japan. It got the nickname “ the plant that ate the south”. It takes over everything it touches.
Thank you Tom.
It's so nice to have a light on your adventures.
Your walks through history really bring home to me how much older European history is than ours.
All that laborious brickwork along those forgotten streams.
The London Thames is , with all the traffic, much cleaner now and Nicola White and Si among others, seem quite safe.
I hope you won't wait a year and a half or so.
The look through your window was amazing, what a magnificent view of old dwellings down the hillside and the mysterious
dark movement of the clouds..... I can't say enough, it's a tonic to my soul.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
It was a wonderful video Tom.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. 🙂
Yay Mr Burleigh is back😁
I like your videos for the scenery and your voice , it doesn't matter what you find.
Always, always enjoy trekking with you wherever you go. Thank you for taking us with you.
I've missed your videos Tom. Your music is beautiful as are your videos and commentary. Stay safe. Hugs from quarantine in Spokane Washington. USA
