The Hemlock Stone was lost from my memory until I saw this video.
I lived in Chilwell, not far away. I’d go there for a ride on my bike. Back in the days when going for ride on a bicycle was a common thing for kids to do to pass the morning in a school holiday.
I also lived in Chilwell and have the same story.
Fab to see my old play ground! Born in ‘Stabbo’ (Stapleford) way back in ‘69 grew up in Chilwell & Beeston. Love trig points, there are around 25,000 in the uk btw, definitely not just a Peak District thing, they are the basis of our wonderful, worlds best OS maps. Love these local history vids ❤❤ thank-you for making them.
FYI Ant, Chetwynn Barracks is in Chilwell. Also used to be a massive Ordnance Depot just outside Ruddington, that you may want to visit at sometime.
Thank you for today’s video and walking tour. Always enjoyable to watch and hear the information of the area. See you on the next. Cheers Ant! 🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸
The black thing on the trig point with the number on it is called a 'flush bracket' and is a benchmark. Something the surveyors used for levelling, not triangulation. The numbers are a unique identifier to that flush bracket; no 2 flush brackets exist with the same identifier.
Many thanks Ant. Love how you bring history to life. Take care.
Thanks Christine very kind
Fascinating. I love the way you outline the visible parts of what was a grand house. Thank you!
Thanks very much for watching 🙂
What a super video! Loved the stone and the Trig point - such a shame that the lovely house was demolished. Yes, go on - do all the Trig points in Notts!!
Very interesting. Great explore. Ice house must have been really cool in it’s time but I’m glad we have our fridges nowadays. Thanks Ant for another fab video and filming.
Loved it Ant, can't believe we used to go see the Hemlock stone but never knew about the Ice House House and Gardens ,just shows we need you to explore for us,good job well done 😃
Hi Ant, another great explore very interesting & stunning drone footage. The house in its heyday day was beautiful would love to have seen that. Nice gardens & woodland to walk around yes ice houses were popular in victorian times as well my Aunty's house had one. Take care see you soon. 😊👍
Brill as usual.
Got me headed straight to google maps and NLS as always,
Tqvm
🙌👍👊
REALLY ENJOYABLE. 👍👍
I’m a massive fan of old stately homes I’m lucky enough to have temple newsam and lotherton hall within a couple of miles. Such a busy place at one time. Also I love downton abbey the series haha
A nice little explore Ant 😊🚂🚂🚂
One idea for you is you could take a look at the Chiltern Hills and follow the public foot paths in the area.
Nice video. Dunno why but it's never occurred to me that the garden was originally connected to the house! The Hemlock stone has those markings as it was either laid down in water, close to a desert or was entirely a desert deposit - there are similar outcrops near my house in Sherwood and in my garden if I dig deep enough!
Great video Ant, thanks for the time and effort you put into producing them, the ice house is very similar to the one down Clifton grove near Clifton village, same construction probably built around the same time as each other
Clifton village in Bristol or elsewhere?

As a 'stabbo' lad we used to play trackie up Hemlock stone..i haven't seen that trig point for a very long time.good to see the remains of the house as yrs ago u couldn't..as always great watch.
A nice little video to watch. I wonder why the house was demolished. 🤔 The road you crossed over was very long and straight... wonder if it was a roman road at one time.
Thanks for recording and sharing.
Beautifully laid-out garden, splendid wrought-iron entrance to icehouse, an amazing layered Hemlock Stone and a marvellous viewpoint/trig-point. Look's like a great place to visit. Very enjoyable video. Thank you.
Really interesting...thank you
Thanks very much Jill
I would like to know why such a beautiful building was demolished?? Such a shame a piece of history was destroyed 😢 … it was a very interesting video thank you 😊
Interesting!
Thanks for watching
Looks like the Devils stone could have been brought from the coast at Dawlish So similar. Nice to have all those interesting things so close to one another too. Very good. All the best.
definately going to have a walk up there as i live in beeston which is only a stones throw from bramcote thanks for sharing ant xx
Another great video.Thaks Darren.
Ant 😉
Thank you, fascinating. There are about 62 trig points in Nottinghamshire I believe.
They're never mentioned are they im curious to look into it
@@TrekkingExploration The 3 nearest trig columns to Stapleford Hill are Bramcote Park (1 mile south near the hall you visited in the other video), Risley (300m NE of Church) and No Mans Lane a mile NW of Sandiacre. (but I think that one might have been destroyed)
Ant, the “three pointed star” on the top of the Trig point, point in the direction of a further three trig-points. This was, I believe, how they originally “triangulated” and mapped the country. If you had taken bearings whilst up there, you could have then used an OS map to identify where the other 3 are.

Love Trig Points, have visited almost 700 mostly in Yorkshire, there must be over 50 in Nottinghamshire. Partial to the odd benchmark as well!
Another fellow benchmarker!
@@northwesttrainspotting507 Yes York is just fantastic for benchmarks!
Good old hemlock jumps not been there for 5 years need to get my full sus upthere
The Devils Rock is like a small version of "Monument" in Monument Valley in Arizona USA
The Devils Rock could be tied to the Ancient UK Volcanoes and land uplifting. Again, another enjoyable watch, thanks to Ant for his time, work and posting......
No, it's sandstone. A sedimentary rock.
@@nickcaunt1769The Monument Valley’s pillars are also sandstone. The pillars had a natural had top called caprock which protected the sandstone below it to form the pillars over thousands of years.....
there is a trig point in Worksop
A load of broccoli !!!! Hahaha😂
Sadly a lot of the big houses were demolished in the 60's I can remember as a child wondering why. As now would love to live in a house like that, would need a lot of money though.
It wasn't really that old either compared to a lot of older houses that still exist. Thank you for watching 😊
❤it very interesting wonder how many uk trig points there are
It's interesting isn't it? I'm curious about Nottinghamshire trigs now
Good to see the old trig point, modern tech made them redundant so they gradually start to decay. Got one near me but the old knees won't get me up there these days😢😢😢 Thanks Ant, lots of interest as usual👍👍👍
There are approximately 6500 trig points spread all across the mainland and islands of the UK
Nice to see people on bikes "not counting E-bikes" riding around instead of sitting on there A$$ playing online video games all day. lol
Yes apparently it gets quite busy up there
@@TrekkingExploration Busy is good...
