    My grandfather was a cooper and made barrels and carts for horses, he also made slate writing blocks for my mum and her siblings. They lived in a place in Yorkshire called Hipperholme which is very near to Shibden Hall in Halifax where I am from and where the series " Gentleman Jack" was filmed. Some of my grandfathers tools were donated by my family to the museum at the hall and are still there I beleive. My mum came from a very poor background and she was one of 4 children -who ever got up first, got to go to school as there was only one school uniform between the 4 of them.

    Well girls I got to say that I just watched this video you have made and was so refreshed and uplifted. I've had a very bad week I do some I care for my 92-year-old dad and my handicap sister. It can be long and tiring when they're not doing well. And I was feeling pretty sorry for myself but I just went on that exploring with you it's all those cute things watch the water and the music and I got to thank you. So a great big heartfelt thank you for making my day so much better. Look forward to seeing the next adventure. CL

    Immediately after viewing this episode I watched maybe your very first (?) video dated Oct 14th, 2019, at Berwick-Upon Tweed. You have really improved in your filming techniques since then! I'm so glad the two of you persevered to your present status. I very much enjoy your knowledge and enthusiasm and the history you give us.

  • @richardserridge2767
    @richardserridge2767 Год назад +3

    More fab treasures and interesting research too! As for the insulators, that is precisely the reason they existed in such high numbers, because the plastic sheathing simply didn't exist back then. For certain scenarios, they would use a waxy paper, cloth or asbestos coating, but these weren't reliable for various reasons, hence the ceramic insulators were used. A cool part of history!

    Great finds 🌟 Isn't it amazing to spot the rusty crusty looking pocket watch clasp, that turns out to be sterling silver 😍. I love it. Who would have ever thought you would clean it up so beautifully. It would look lovely worn on a chain. Have you ever thought of creating a charm bracelet with buttons, heads, arms, legs, soldiers, buttons, clasps, pipe stems, beads, dogs teeth, pudding dolls, pottery pieces, etc, that represent or capture all the finds. Or a charm necklace. I love bottles and jars, also very special finds as they will never be made ever again. Thank you both for another great video. Happy mudlarking 💜🌹

    I so enjoy your videos. I lived in France as a small child (1957-61). Until there was a place for me in the American school I attended a French school. We used slates in frames and a stylus for writing. Your find brought back wonderful memories. Along with the frozen Charlottes you have found. My English mum always put a wee one, and little silver charms, in the Christmas pudding.

    Another great show ladies, thank you! I'm afraid that I'm old enough to remember learning to write on a slate. I was born in 1949 and can clearly recall being told by my teacher that the squares on one side were for writing sums. We were told to write H T U (for Hundred, Tens, and Units) at the top, then place the numbers below. So, the number 127 would appear as 1 (under the H), 2 (under the Tens), and 7 (under the U for units). The next number, to be either added or subtracted would be written under the 127, and so on. I also remember that on visits to Holland and Germany at an early age, most people used graph paper for writing ordinary messages and letters. This might have been something to do with post-war shortages, I'm not sure, but please carry on the good work!

    • @SuzyEH
      @SuzyEH Год назад

      That's so interesting. I was born in January 1950 in a small town on the Ohio river, (Paducah, named after an Indian chief), Kentucky. In the first grade we used newspaper with horizontal lines, a solid line, dash line, solid line, the the solid lines measure the height of a capital letter with the dash being the height of a lower case. They were bound across the horizontal top with some type of glue that allowed you to tear off the top sheet to expose the clean sheet below. We were also forced to use these allow fat pencils. I don't know which I disliked more the newsprint pads or the fat pencils. We also won't taught penmanship, hence my handing writing looks like inked up chicken feet ran across the page.
      It's so interesting to see how different it was between the US and the UK. Our economy was booming while you had to rebuild a country with little funds.
      Thanks for sharing your story. Suzy

    Such a fun day mudlarking!!! I love watching! Oh, I spent an hour or so wandering around an antique shop in Boone, North Carolina last week and found a small Codd bottle in perfect condition! It has a small piece of paper stuck in the top that detailed the history of Codd bottles. I thought of you two and just had to purchase it. I know it isn't as wonderful as finding it in a bottle dump or on the foreshore. But I'll take it and think of you two!

    You have a lovely collection of pudidng dolls now. They are so cute. Some nice finds on the foreshore today, love the soldiers with one leg and still colour on them.. You'd think that would be the first thing to go. The dog clip is my favorite with the pudding doll.
