May your skill raise in infamy until you are the true villans
I absolutely loved this place as a child when I lived in the UK. It was such a fun place to visit.
🤩
What was their excuse? Not a covid risk surely?
@@figmento1 the only excuse I heard was that an artist tried to claim money from the library because their art was damaged by the sun when exhibited in the window. More recently I was told that it was a management decision and management decisions were final. Who knows🤔
@@gileswhiteheadartist Bah, They should have sued the Sun. Everybody else does!
@@figmento1😆
I used to like the Guinness clock by the pier entrance
What happened to the Guinness clock?
@@gileswhiteheadartist : I don't know. It was there in the late Fifties
Lovely stuff!
@@ericmoore242 Thanks Eric! Glad you enjoyed it.
Amazing 😮
Aarg No! Stop the voices in my head! Excellent!
Cheers Martin! You forgot the raspberries😮
Lovely stuff. I too was obsessed by the things, especially spaghetti's and ball bearings
Thanks Eric! I never had any ball bearings. Where did get yours from?
@@gileswhiteheadartist I think i got them from my Dad, who worked down at Reeds paper mill. I had one that must have been about 4 inches across that kids were willing to trade their entire marble collection for it
@@ericmoore242 crikey! That sounds like a ball bearing and a half! Did you trade and then get your dad to bring you another?
Such elegant entertainment. Could listen to your stories all day. 👍🏻
Thanks so much Michael😊👍🏻
Thank you for this. Absolutely delightful. 😊😊
Thank you - So glad you enjoyed it.
Fascinating! I always thought that I knew how etching worked but I didn't but now I do.
You’ll be able to make a suit of armour now - or at least decorate one.
Does Maidstone Art College still excist? I've not seen it round the city.
Not any more. After becoming KIAD, it became UCA. The Oakwood park campus in Maidstone closed in 2014 but still has a film course at Maidstone Studios.
🥲
I failed trying to making fluxus possible, but it turns out that failure makes it possible anyway xD
It's Basically skateboarding before there was Skateboarding , just like Bas Jan Ader.
Brilliant video! Wonderful art, and a really inspiring story. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed it. All the best, Giles
Love it!❤
@@bluejay3770 thank you 😊👍💙
The inability to leave my stuff alone is why i cant have pets.
I watched his show today do you know if he has a youtube channel ?
If he has, I don’t know about it. How was the show? Anything different?
@@gileswhiteheadartist it was awesome he was doing handstands on dirtbikes jumps blindfolded the whole thing was amazing
@@Parxival175 that sounds amazing! (And a bit dangerous 😀👍🏻)
@@gileswhiteheadartist yeah it was its my dream to be a stuntman like him when I'm older he seems like such a cool gut
@@Parxival175 I know he has a Facebook page and you can contact him there. He may be able to give you some advice.
This is fabulous! Than you very much Giles. I’ve tried twice to share it and failed! I’ll try again tomorrow. xxxxxx
So glad you like it. I was trying to capture the grand scale and atmosphere. Hope to pop in again in the week when taking a break from Open Studio preparations.
So nice to see hand built masterpieces like this preserved. Nice job Giles!
Very true. Thanks Kelly 👍🏻
Makes me wonder how they did with exams. Who knew this question would be so tough.😊
I know - so funny! They got cute faces - They’re fat and they waddle along 😆
This just randomly popped up on my feed and it made me so happy to watch it!
How nice, they're thinking so hard about it
What wonderful footage!
Cheers! Happy days of art college.
A wonderful snapshot of Maidstone's industrial past. And it is always nice to hear people like the Goachers talk about their passion for their product.
Thanks for watching, so glad you enjoyed it. I was a privilege to be able to preserve some wonderful memories of Maidstone and share the Goacher family story.

As someone who has lived in Maidstone all my life, a long time, I thought that this film was brilliant. I also support local industry by drinking in the Rifle Volunteers sometimes so well done the Goacher family.
Thanks so much, so glad you like it. I met some brilliant people working on this project and am so happy to be able to preserve a few of their fascinating, warm and often funny stories!
I visited Lyme today. I've visited a lot of old homes over the last few days, joked with my daughter about hauntings, but sensed nothing at all. The minute I stepped foot in the Knights Bedroom, I thought "this one actually is haunted". I didn't know anything about the room. I had no knowledge of its reputation. It wasn't until I read the information sheet by the window, that I knew I was right. Thanks for filling in the blanks

why is this kind of info so hard to find now?! thank you so much for sharing this!
My daughter was studying book art for her art GCSE and after I couldn’t find anything, I thought I’d better make one myself!
As an American, it’s refreshing to hear a foreigner’s take on our country. Lucky the person who found your kachina.
Thanks for tuning in! Yes, I wonder where the kachina is now. Hopefully it didn't end up in the Amtrak cleaning staff trash bag!
Thanks a lot, this is such an amazing video!
Thanks so much 😊👍🏻
As an American, it’s always interesting to see how others view the country and it makes me wish more Americans left their little enclaves to see how different and yet similar we all are. Btw, love your work (as you know)
Many thanks Chris! Much appreciated. I have just recorded my America diary for a couple more destinations- I’ve just arrived in Seattle….at midnight with no where to stay!
It feels like a melancholy walk down memory lane -in a bittersweet but lovely way.
A perfect description 💙
