Hey Andy was lovely you turned up at urbageddon thank you very much I appreciated you comming hope you come too next year's your more than welcome Melissa
This area was my dad's playground in the 1950's , his dad was the Lifeboat mechanic , it was also my nephew's playground in the 2000's as their dad was a crew member on the lifeboat. I visited in about 2005 for 5 days . So much family history up there .
Great job on the Trust's part. Wet sand weighs an awful lot. Those ceramic makers of old? They sure knew their trade. Those enameled vents look as good as new. The entrance gate pillars to the older jetty had that feeling of old architecture surviving the subject it was meant to guard. Seen it a lot in Southern Buenos Aires City, where the older railway marshalling yards had a very similar gate pillar design. Regarding the washer in the generator room, wouldn't be rare if someone decided to tile it to spite the brass in having a fancier washroom floor than the officers. Great series, Andy & Ben.
Hello there, I'd like to do a roadtrip across argentina one day, it looks to be an amazing country :) The spite baiting of officers still happened when i was in the Royal Navy, I never got involved but it did happen. Thanks :)
Thanks for such a detailed insight into Spurn Head. I spent many happy hours and days walking out to it since the 80's and seen its gradual erosion and sea damage develope over that time. Didn't know the lifeboats had moved, but it turning into an island at high tide, which i assume it still does, regulat easy access by vehicle would be difficult. Now I need to watch part 1 ! Cheers. Paul.
Hello Paul, it sure is a special location. Unfortunately it will only get more difficult to navigate in the future. Part one ruclips.net/video/q49_BuNB8Ow/видео.htmlsi=M9p469jZpCj3WkfU
I remember going there with Dad years ago and the Lifeboats were still there and the Humber pilots.Shame it closed 😢. The paths you were walking on were actually passable roads. I’d like to visit again one day when the weather’s a bit nicer! I used to go there when I was a kid. Great video. Thanks ❤
Hi :) the YWT Safari might be a good idea as they could take you and thomas over on the Unimog which is an off road minibus with a tour. www.ywt.org.uk/events?tags=252
Another fascinating video Andy. I remember going in a couple of those buildings as a kid, many eons ago - maybe before they were fully buried. What a brilliant idea to suggest the houses being used as AirBnB accommodation. I hope they do see the video and consider it. Can’t believe the size of that magazine. I was expecting a little store room when you slotted the camera through, not that vast room 😯 Looking forward to the next one in the series. It’s all been fascinating. I’ve already been looking at the tide times with a view to visiting again sometime soon 👍🏼😊
Hello Nick :) it’s great you got to see the rooms before the sand filled them. It’s certainly a nice place to visit. Sometimes I prefer it in winter as there are less people around the vegetation is a little less.
@@ALWResearchTeam Good idea Andy. A winter visit sounds good. I remember as a kid that it was the Sea Buckthorn everywhere which stopped me getting to many of the buildings. Such a great place to have practically on your doorstep 👍🏼😊
Thanks for the excellent film on somewhere that has fascinated me for years. I agree, those houses would make excellent lets. In the converted searchlight shelter I think that the square structure is the hearth that the military put round Iron 'potbellied' stoves, I think I saw a rusty hole above where the chimney was. NCO= Non Commissioned Officer, L/BDR= Lance Bombardier why they needed their own wash place is anyone's guess.
Well presented, but it does my head in. 50 years ago I worked 1,000 m underground down a potash mine, however these days 20 mins in an MRI scanner has me freaked out due to claustrophobia.
@@ALWResearchTeam Long time since I worked there, however still in operation I think . I know they were doing deep scientific experiments that were shielded from atmosphere and cosmic interference at one point. As for visitors, only one way to find out.
1:05in Are you sure the derelict houses are WW2 the build and design seems more late 50s early 60s? Y.W.T. Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. That drifting sand thing is something I'd expect to see in the Deserts, not in England. Surprising.
Awesome Place, Being Reclaimed by Nature - On the Old Photo at the Start you Briefly pointed out some Zig Zaggy bits, are they Still there, and are there any More Architectural Features still Visible? - I would imagine the Whole place is like a Rabbit Warren that Would benefit from a LiDAR Examination..
Hello there, yes the ziggy saggy part is still there, it was the tidal defence for the old lifeboat houses. ruclips.net/video/q49_BuNB8Ow/видео.htmlsi=M9p469jZpCj3WkfU
The one and only time I visited Spurn, 2010 I think, parking the Cav as far up as I could, then up to the RNLI Stn, which was interesting, I was fascinated to find several heavy rusted steel door slabbed shut concrete bunkers which were so similar to those to be found up at Harpur Hill, Buxton (itself a mass ammo store when the RAF were there, itself those few miles N of Fauld). Anyway, my point is that of all these recent SP vids, these heavily set ammo store bunkers seem not to have featured - have they been washed from their original siting spots into the NSea with all this overspill and abandonment do you know ?

Hello there. Thank you for your kind words. Was your potash mine north of Sandsend?
I sometimes feel a little claustrophobic but generally not.
@@ALWResearchTeam Yes, it's the one near Staithes, Boulby mine.
Wow I bet it’s good in there. Do they allow visitors?

Hi, they were there for the duration of WW2 as they feature in the maps and photos of the fort in those days

Excellent content! What causes sand to enter the buildings, flooding ?
The wind Anthony :)

Hello there :) they will feature in next weeks episode :)
I would love to buy one of the houses would love to live there
We could be neighbours
Enjoyed that,thsnkyou very much. 🫡✌️
Hello there Nick, thank you very much. Thursday at 4pm we enter the magazines and gun emplacements:)
