    I so appreciate you taking us along on your travels. Honestly you are the best channel for travel/history you make it so informative, interesting as I am usually awe struck after every episode you put out. Thank you so much for all your hard work involved in making these videos for the world to share.

    Oh how my Dad would have loved the museum. He was a Navy man in ww2. He finished his work life building airplane. Loved seeing how the workers lived. Thank you for this Saturdays lift to my spirits. You two are the best. Hugs and blessings.

    I haven't looked forward to Saturday mornings this much since I was a kid watching cartoons! Every Saturday around 7am I get a notification that you added a new video and I have to stop whatever I'm doing and watch it cuz I just don't want to wait till later!! Thank you for everything you do bring the beauty of Great Britain to those of us around the world (I'm across the pond in Washington state) I'll get there someday, but until then I have these amazing videos to watch and visit virtually ❤

    Another thoroughly enjoyable video! You really do bring England to life. I’m putting this site on my must visit list.
    Fun fact. Where I live in Louisiana, the surname Beaulieu is very prominent, but is pronounced Bo-lyur.

    My great grandfather was a shipwright but from up Newcastle way before emigrating to New Zealand. His father before him also a shipwright. Thanks for taking us to Buckler's Head. The museum looks like you could really make out how they lived in the shipbuilding time. Kind regards as always.

    What a beautiful and historic village. The museums look to be very educational and the homes seem to be a great chance to experience life at the end of the 18th century. Thanks for showing it to us and I am looking forward to next week's video.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this video! It's always nice to see and learn how places began their existence and how earlier residents of said places lived and worked. It was astonishing to see the blatant differentiations in the homes that workers had to live in back then. So very humbling and enlightening. Today, folks would be suing and fighting this one, and that one if they had to live under such circumstances and in such conditions. Those folks of yesteryear appreciated what they could get, when and if they could get it, and worked hard to keep it. Their efforts are admirable.

    I went to the car museum too, could have stayed there all day so much to see.

    The displays of life during the late 1700s are terrific. Such a fascinating time in history. It still amazes me how rigged wooden ships sailed the world, carrying people and goods, and taking battles at sea to new levels. I've found scanned issues of the London Gazette from the Napoleonic Wars online; they are fascinating! Lists of battles, ship assignments, French or Spanish 'prizes' captured and how much was paid to the officers who captured them. Just like Horatio Hornblower! Perhaps because the town is on Montague land, on a river, rather than at a larger seaport, there are no ships as part of the museum. Our Star of India was built in the shipyards at the Isle of Man in 1863, sailed to India, Australia, New Zealand, and Chile, and was eventually sold into the Salmon trade in Alaska before being purchased and retired to San Diego in 1926 to be turned into a museum. Still seaworthy, she's scheduled to sail this November to celebrate her 160th anniversary. :)

    Fascinating commentary, we drove to the Satnav point but didn't realise there was a path from the carpark. A voice said something about a park8ng cost, but as we hadn't entered just done a 3-point-turn and it was late pm we missed out on this but spent 2 days enjoying the Beaulieu Estate. Thanks and Regards JB

    Whilst you are travelling in the South West of England do visit Poundbury, our present King had s lot to do with its inception, it's well worth a walk around its wide streets to view the many different styles of architecture + FREE PARKING (at least there was when I visited in 2010.)

    Was each residence as large as three floors or was each floor a different residence?
    Wherever did they get so much wood for so many ships?

    But why is Bucklers hard?

    • @MemorySeekers
      @MemorySeekers  Год назад

      Buckler's Hard was possibly originally named after the Buckle family, who had been resident locally since at least 1668. The suffix 'Hard' was added, as is the case elsewhere on the south coast, to signify 'a natural, firm landing place'.
