I'd definitely consider mounting some of these pages, adding a small frame and hanging them in the hall..!
Definitely, I was thinking the same thing
Good to see someone with enough common sense to use protective gear! Also, I noticed that I'm now officially older than paper stuffings in door frames.
Well you always were older than these particular paper stuffings in door frames.
I'm waaaaay older, youth!
Woohoo, I’m not!
Just.
Join the club. 🤦🏻♂️
No protective eye gear though!
When removing wallpaper from my kids bedroom we found underground newspapers from the Dutch resistance during WWII
Those ads for South Africa are the reason I’m South African 😂 my grandparents emigrated with 6 kids, 1 being my mother. It must’ve been around that time. My grandfather was in the trade, my guess a fitter and turner. The city I grew up in, Benoni, is actually a result of British immigrants moving across to fulfill trade vacancies. Ironically, I immigrated to Ireland so almost full circle
Excellent digression video!
September 4th 1971 I celebrated my 20th birthday - I have been enjoying following your renovations to the yard at the back - looking forward to part 3 - ❤
Mate. While renovating my place (an ongoing saga) I was hoping to find some really cool stuff. So far, i've found an old TV....a page from a 1981 newspaper....and about 22 tons of asbestos. I reckon you're winning, so far.
The music is so appropriate. Contemplative, introspective, reflective, sensitive...
1971 eh ! That was when news was news and Twitter was a bird sound and Facebook was .......nothing at all. Great videos mate.
The spoof newspaper from Thick as a Brick really looks like a real newspaper from that era!
good old days , brought back many happy memories of teenage years around Barnsley . thanks for the trip.
With the overalls you looked like CSI Yorkshire
CSI Yorkshire 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏾💙
I was 4 in 1971 and this all seems eerily familiar. Looking at the tunes in those lists struck a chord (!). I remember having the "You and me and dog called boo" single that appears on one of the lists.
Really cool and interesting vid mate. The music paired with the visuals incredibly well. Cheers for putting a smile on my face 👍
I was 7 in 1971, and we'd just moved from Stockport to the Hope Valley in Derbyshire, and was getting settled in to a new school with new friend's. And we'd just gone decimal as well. Sure brings back a lot of memory's. Thanks for that.
Yeah, The Who Won't Get Fooled Again 😀 Regards from Canada!
It's interesting that you say it put a smile on your face, it had the opposite effect for me. The images coupled with the music made me melancholic. I'm a bit older than you, maybe that's the difference or maybe it's just how I'm feeling at the moment?
Wrote 3 songs off this list to add to my play list. I haven't heard them in years. I'm 62 and listened to these as a kid. 6, 13, and 18. TY
Stuffing newspaper into the gaps, standard practice in the day to stop draughts - the expanding foam of its time.
I've seen the same thing over here in Canada when renovating older homes that had plaster walls before drywall was available. Yes, it was used as insulation like you said.
I almost cried seeing those house prices. Gonna take great care of any fixer upper I get my hands on, in case of gems like these.
The Barnsley Chronicle gets everywhere. Once went to Whitby and bought some kippers from Fortunes. They were wrapped in...The Barnsley Chronicle.
Wow! Thanks for going to the trouble of posting these pictures. I'm from Staincross/ Darton. My dad used to play the piano in the pub at Darton (The Drum). My uncle George used to run the Barbers shop a few doors down. All the old boys along with my grandad who fought in the first world war, wouldn sit on a wall in the sun. The chat was either cricket or football. My grandad and my dad played cricket at Darton. That whole row as being pulled down now, last I was there it was a continuous flow of cars. I was lucky to see a snippet of the old way of living. Hard times, but slower, folk seemed more content.
Thanks for that lad. Was just married in 1971 and been living away from lovely old Barnsley for 35 years so that was a brill trip down t'old Lane.
50 years ago you could get a house for the price of 16 made to measure wigs
Nice find. I have found a few things in my old house, best thing was someone’s army discharge papers from 1918 wrapped in wax paper stuffed up a chimney.
They may be very important to someone's family history.
Soooo cool these old papers. Everything changes yet remains the same.
Amazing, just yesterday I remembered your channel and was wondering when would you upload. And here you appear the very next morning!
Fascinating glimpse! Really appreciate you sharing this, especially as my Mum used to work at the Barnsley Chronicle. I'll have to show her this :D
Brilliant - I found a few bits when I did my house in Ossett, but nothing like this motherload! We should all hide a load of newspapers next time we take any floorboards up!
1971 The year I was born amazing, thanks for sharing.
Nice vintage find in the doorway reveal. I remember that year very well. I was 15 years old.
5:21 Wow, a lot of my favorite songs from when I was a young teenager - especially "Get It On" with T-Rex was/is one of my all time favorites. Still got the vinyl record, "Bolan Boogie" from 1973, and I still put it on my record player at least once a month.
Yeah i know, I'm old school. lol
Vinyl is making a big come back. A friend of mine sold all his vinyl.... made quite a bit of cash... but now regrets it and is buying it all back. Costing him a fortune Hahahaha!!! He had several thousand albums.
Nice to see 50 year old history, like a time capsule. I'd be 3 years old when this was last done. Perhaps you should do the same for future renovators.
This was really cool. Thank you for taking the time to share this, and not just binning the newspaper.
Sept 1971 was when I started 11th Grade (year 12 in the UK). Those prices were present here as well (only in USD - multiply by 2.68 and you get the $$ amount) and felt no cheaper then. Yeah, they were UK papers but that was a real blast from the past, Russ (especially the music). Thanks for that.
Superb, thanks for sharing. Brings some memories back of just going to big school at that time.
Every time we do a home remodel (at this point, once in each of five different homes) we put a contemporary newspaper or magazine in, as well as some artifact of the time (a Palm Pilot in our mid-1990's reno, for instance, with batteries removed and in a separate container). Fun!
In the house in which I grew up in Chicago in the 1970's, we found a neon advertisement fixture in a wall, with the neon sign transformer just below it in the floor joist cavity. House was built in the 1890's, and the sign was from the late 1920's.
Looking forward to see what you do with the hallway. Would the brick / stone be usable just brushed down, sealed, and left "raw"?
Great Little video Thanks, Always worth remembering when looking back at the cost of things was the fact that wages too were very low. Fresh out of school in 1972 and starting my apprenticeship with the Post Office Telephones I was earning £12.80 a week. I was also looking for "an adaptable young Lady" as well so perhaps I should have looked in the small ads in the Barnsley Chronicle!
Yeah how crazy these papers were printed after I got married.. in June 1971.. thanks for showing.. help us all get a grip..👍☺️
I also live in Yorkshire and found newspapers from 1903 under the upstairs floorboards when I bought the house in 1990. Made fascinating and amusing reading, in particular a case of drunk boat driving on the Humber leading to a collision and a prosecution.
That was brilliant! Love that sorta thing.
"When Saul Goodman was a motor dealer" 🤣🤣🤣
Another excellent and really interesting video. A little different to the usual but loved it! Can't wait to show it to my dad who was in his prime then :) - Thank you!
Great and what a beautiful travel through time!
Perfect song that reminded me of having not used in a long time!
You should have over 1 Mio. subs!
Keep an doing amazing stuff!
Cheers from Bavaria🍻

I’m also a “gardener “snob
I wasn't even a year old when those papers went to press.........Wonderful video, thank you for sharing
Wow an interesting find russ. I imagine they were there to preserve heat or some kind of damp avoidance maybe, but looking back to that time really opens your eyes and somehow makes you realise how bad things were. Some of them would be great framed mate. Cool find 👍🏻👍🏻
Very interesting flashback... It gives us a touching taste of yesterday.
I have ran across that several times as well. It’s cool to look back in time.
I hate to admit it but I can remember most of those stories very well, shame I can not remember what happened last week. Thanks for posting
I literally started senior school the Monday after this was published! God I feel old…..
Found a few interesting song titles in the pop charts. Long forgotten that they existed, but recognized many of them.
Из таких старых газет можно попробовать подобрать и сделать картину, в раме и под стеклом. Вешать лучше в одном ряду с другими живописными полотнами. Тогда будет даже философский смысл.)
When I was a kid we were playing on a bombed out housing estate, running through all the bombed out houses etc, in one of them we found a box of Pearson's Weekly magazines, they were dated some time in the 1920's. Very enjoyable reading.
One thing is for certain, this will be start of another story for someone!!
Sir, thank you. It brightened my day. But it is also somehow sad, that in 50 years the world moved so much. At some points. But thank you anyway. I really like the mood of your videos.
Thanks for sharing the newspaper scraps. Talk about making you feel like an old bugger.
My home is only new, compared to yours. 1893. As an Australian, interesting to see The Seekers on the top 40 and Barry Crocker on the bill with with Des O’Connor.
Love your work 👍
I didn't realise Des O' Connor was quite THAT old. The more you learn.
Thought they was gonna be a lot older than that. I found a paper from 1901 in my door cavity.
I was 8 in 1971. I had forgotten about the IRA but some of the music still lives on. Time capsule indeed!
Interesting how the sans serif typefaces from the previous century have made a comeback in recent years. The Futura (among others) style is appealing.
Would be great to see if you could incorporate these into an element of the house somewhere, initial thought was cast in resin but I don't think that would be suitable. Any plans to use them at all?
I renovated a property and came across some copies of the Illustrated London News from the late 1800s in the wall. It was used as packing to save on the lime mortar. I put the newspapers back into another hidden place in the house ready for the next renovator in 100 years.
Can't believe that first still you showed was my literal birth date, 4/9/1971.
I was working at a job tearing down ( by hand ) a old hotel in downtown Tyrone Pennsylvania and found newspapers in the EXACT same location - 1941 !!!!
What a great find!
I would put them under UV-block film to the wall next to the door frame...
Thx for showing!
:-D
I was hoping for an OLD newspaper. Like 1871!
I found pages from a 1970's era edition of the Manchester Evening News when I replaced the door casings in my hallway.
According to a joiner I know, it was common practice at the time to use them as packing and to fill gaps for painting over later. I suppose nowadays they'd use a big glob of decorators caulk instead. Unfortunately, since they'd been used to pack out the gaps, they weren't in the best of condition, nor were they whole pages.
My house was remodeled in 1959. The newspapers stuffed behind the panels in the wall said so...in a kind of "Oh shit, the clients back" way !!
Your not going to plaster that wall again are you? Clean it and seal it and use some lighting to highlight it.
Non Snob 'bumming around' 🤣🤣😂😂
Cool! Maybe if you find some you like you could frame them and put them in the hallway.
Me and my dad use to hide coins in what chimneys we rebuilt.
Great find do you think you might make a collage with some of the photos
What a beautiful Stonewall behind the plaster. I would not plaster it again.
When news papers were worth reading
I was wondering why Elvis heartbreak hotel was near the top of the UK charts? It was released in 1956. cool reading.. found myself pausing and reading details.. thanks for sharing. I like the guys idea to frame and add some of them to the hallway as art art.... Gotta get the wife to agree to that one though otherwise its wood shop wall art for the lot of them for sure.
belting find ! those papers are from the week after I was born
My house is half the age of yours, but I found that someone had started stapling those disposable styrofoam trays that meats are packaged on at the supermarket to the ceiling of the attic. However, they didnt really get very far, maybe a square yard or so haha
When I was renovating a Victorian house in London, I found newspapers from the 1920's, and the 1940's stuffed into various parts of the building.
Unfortunately they were so brittle that they fell to pieces as I unfolded them, but I could read small pieces that were quite Intriguing. Long forgotten now though. Sorry!
That's nice to see all that. Low prices? In comparison to today for sure, but in that time those prices where also high ;).
I was pulling out a carpet stair runner back in 1982 and found newspapers from 1911 and 1915. I'm in Maine USA
awesome. very interesting prices
Crikey..I was at Penistone Grammar in 1971!!
Thought they were the tv listings for yesterday must be repeat’s again.
Piace, da matti, anche a me leggere vecchi giornali.
I love reading old newspapers too.
newspaper from almost my 1st birthday.... sweet :) born near the end of sep...
Can't believe a fellow Malaysian, Patricia Chee wedded to the locals there. That was in 1971!! Must be those rich immigrants from Malaysia. Crazy finds!
Back then Rodney and Dell were still "occupying" Peckham.
I've lifted lino and carpet in old houses and often found newspapers underneath. Best find was was an entire national newspaper celebrating the end of WWII. Not sure if it was put there as a 'time capsule' gesture or simply as insulation. I spent a lot longer reading it than I would a paper of the day and carefully rolled it up around a large cardboard tube and covered it up with more paper and a rubbish bag before taping it water and air tight.
Unfortunately my then bf - a real winner who went on to become become meth addict and stalker - was a vindictive little bastard who enjoyed breaking and destroying things out of spite and, knowing exactly what he was doing, he used the paper to start the fire.
51 years later and Ulster's still making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Great.Was waiting for a new video!
Cool to find stuff hidden away. Not so cool when it’s a fire hazard though! Glad you found them. Makes you wonder what else there is hidden away.☮️
Я так смотрю, что у вас такие же технологии при строительстве были, газеты ))
I see that you had the same technologies during construction, newspapers ))
It was standard practice to nail skirting etc. to wedges knocked in between the bricks and set to the finished wall surface before plastering. Newspapers were rolled up and used to fill the gap.
Wow, very different form the usual but I really loved it, showing my age I suppose but it's really nice getting an look into yesterdays 'normal life'. Haven defend us for the blindness causing hooligans!
wow, we have been having an extension built and we also found some old newspaper stuffed in a wall. I just checked my phone pictures as i remember taking a pic of them and the date on mine was... September 5th 1971!
thats just plain weird!

E By Gum, the good old days. I'm old enough to remember the school milk . I looked up a few of the addresses in the property ads. I'm sure they have had a few renovations since then, but some look quite smart.
Ah, yes the 70s…when the UK was still in the 50s.
While renovating my house here in Lincolnshire I found lots of newspaper stuffed in door frames and windows, best was a house just up the road going for £35000 in 1985. 4 bed detached 30's period, it sold last year for £350000 and was pulled down to make way for a new build, shame really as it was a lovely looking house with a big plot of land. New place fills the plot with a garage and play room and looks a mess.😑
Barnsley Chroinicle used to be my local paper - think my mum still gets it. Cant believe all the famous artists and bands in the top 30 at 5:22
That Ford caravan of tomorrow! I received and built a Model car of that!
