History happening right there. I live in Leeds and love finding out about Leeds history. Thankyou for showing us what we wouldn't generally get to see 😊
My sentiments exactly 👍🏻
It's brilliant to have you back! Can't believe they're getting rid of them but to be honest if they're no need for them anymore then I suppose it's the right thing to do. But we're always complaining about something 😂. That new camera is amazing! You would think with a good brand like Sony it would a brilliant camera but obviously not. 😊
Thank you for braving a horrid night to show this historical moment. The new beams probably wont last as long as these have knowing how things are made these days, those old engineers really made things over engineered, and good thing they did, who would of thought back then how the weight of traffic would increase around there.
The front of Leeds station with the city square will be massive improvement to visitors seeing Leeds for the first time, rather than a ring road of congestion.
Not if you want to catch a bus !
@@Grid56 city square has buses ?
@@andrew300169 but not stops, you now have catch or alight along boar lane, rather than the loop in front of the station entrance.
@@Grid56 100yds at most, but it’s not really changed, the way it’s going there won’t be any buses
@andrew300169 100 yards was a lot when I'd broke my leg . But yes I heard the council (amongst a lot of Northern ones) was going broke so may not be able to pay for the bus subsidies.
Thanks for capturing this happening for us Darren. The restaurant Shabab was previously Daggies night club in the 80's. I worked at Royal Mail on Wellington Street, now demolished, that I realised from one of your videos was the site of the other old railway station. We could get into Daggies for free with our Royal Mail badges so it was always full of Postmen, great memories.
Hi Darren, thanks for staying up to record this, very interesting to watch. Well done!!
It's amazing the kit used to take them away. It's even more amazing how they got them in all those years ago. No hard hats or road closures then!!
Welcome back Darren you've been missed
I bet a lot of stations have fascinating history buried under them. Sheffield apparently has old Victorian underdrawings waiting to be revealed in some future redevelopment.
Amazing camera! Thanks for going out and freezing your bits off to record something interesting most of us would have never known about.
Excellent camera, Darren. Like it was filmed by the BBC or ITV. The new entrance to the concourse has been designed to limit disability access, remove bus access and reduce the taxi availability to just 6, with no covered area.
Das hat Spaß gemacht. freue mich auf das nächste mal.
Noch viel schöner ist, das Du wieder da bist 🌞.😅
Thank you ❣️. Bis später Darren 👍
Thanks for braving the weather once again.This was a brilliant insight into Victorian engineering & constuction.
Cheers Darren.👍😀
Your new camera is brilliant Darren - you can notice the difference instantly! The clarity of the film is like we're there with you! Like I've said many times - you should have your own show on TV! Your presenting is fab and now your new camera is an excellent addition! 🙂
Great video Darren, you took one for the team on a rainy night in Leeds!!!!! many thanks, take care pal.
I appreciated it very much. Once in a life time. Thank you for freezing in the rain for us. Cheers
You are one heck of a dedicated researcher
Always good when darren uploads. Quality channel
I can't believe Shabab building and the old stair case has gone. They just love to demolish things and is not needed. Gladiators haven't used the Colosseum in Rome for quite some time now, but it's not been demolished. Great video.
Thank you for tonight’s video. A rainy scene and late hours. Your sleep time will be really appreciated by you and the viewers, at least me! Cheers Darren, and see you on the next! 😊
What an amazing bit of history captured on an amazing camera.
Darren, my friend! How lovely it is to see you watching others at it, resplendent in your hi-viz and displaying your wet, shiny helmet, within these wee, sma' hoors in Central Leeds! Yes, you do so much for many of us, but go - get your bits warmed now!
Amazing! Thank you so much, I loved every minute of it. 🙂
Darren, where I live, if we were to dig a hole we might find some old coins ""up to 60 old maybe"" or some old socks. But where you live you have layer upon layer upon layer of history. For me if I fine a 1955 nickel I think "boy, is that old," If you dig up a Roman coin you think, "is that all" and toss it in the bin. Thanks for your TIME, hard work and posting.....
Only sorry I missed seeing it live - but a video does mean not standing around in Leeds centre for hours. I enjoy all your videos but the Leeds station ones are my favourite as I've seen a few changes in my own, relatively short in these terms, lifetime so it's always fascinated me.
Thank you so much for answering what those beams were all about. Since they were first revealed I’ve been pondering what they may have been for as I ran past each Saturday morning. I’d even thought were they something to do with the underground that Leeds was supposed to have many years ago.
Thanks very much for filming and sharing. The camera is great.
It's great to have you back, I've missed your videos. Thanks for sharing and giving us an insight to this.
Skillful crane operator, takes some nerve to do that job.
Interesting video. Good to see you back Darren 👍🏻. Thanks for showing 👍🏻😀
Great to see you back.
Amazing video. Thanks for getting up late at night.
Love it love it 😍 Big machinery is amazing to see in action. I don’t think Sarens don’t do small lifts. One of my best mates is a crane driver, he’s worked for a few companies and always sent me photos of what he was doing (if allowed his phone on sites)
When I was off work for an operation this year (January-April) he nipped round in his crane on his way back to the yard. I sat in the cab and the control pod, it was amazing honestly, after being off work so long it cheered me up so much.
I filmed it but he asked me not to put it on my TH-cam channel.
You wouldn’t believe how navy different buttons there are for things. It’s a 23 plate Liebherr 😍
I loved every second of this video, I also know a lad who works for Kings as a lift planner.
Some serious work going on there pal. The camera quality looks next level 👍
Thanks 👍
Very interesting Leeds history thanks for posting Darren
Wow,haven't popped into Leeds for probably about a year and the station main entrance has changed so much.
Great to have you back Darren. You have been missed. Nice follow up from your previous Leeds Station videos. The new camera is fantastic, looks studio quality.
Great stuff! How did they manufacture, transport and put in place those huge beams, a century or so, ago. Must have been a logistical nightmare.
A bloke from Sheffield probably carried them on his back and put them down.. they were made of strong stuff back then!🤣
And all without a Satnav to guide him!@@natewright336
They had a better chance of doing it then than now, not that i'm complaining about the absence of smog & working for 6pence a week.
Good question though. I wonder if it was traction engines.
Brilliant crane work.
He's back!
That was so interesting Darren. Thank you so much for filming this for us in the cold and wet. A unique part of of history set in time by yourself. Well done.
Great to see the beam removal! It looked to be in good condition after its long service. Time for a tea with a tot of rum to warm up, eh? and sit on the towel warmer for an hour to dry off....8^) Really liked the video Darren! Cheers!
Good morning Darren just watched your video on removing the beams interesting looking forward to seeing your next adventure plus hope all is well with your family and glad your back now keep your bits warm
Thanks 👍
I think the replacement beams went through Bolton by road earlier today (Sunday).. Some good pics in the paper.
Great to see back recording, new camera looks ace recording quality too 👍 Now they should have called in the Steptoes & Hercules they would have had that lot of scrap down the yard in no time at all 😎 Still good quality iron it will soom smelt into new iron goods. Darren take care and don't get a cold staying out in the dark and rain 👍 Cheers DougT
Fascinatng to watch especially how long they have been there I have watched your other vids about Leeds Station and a great update. You should have got heated underwear to keep your bits warm.
Another brilliant video as usual good to have you
Great to see you back out Darren, thanks for going out to capture this on film. It's another snapshot of history in the making. Those beams certainly came out a darn sight quicker than when they were put in , I bet . Fantastic to see this , cheers.👍
That was great - thanks!
Thanks Darren , very interesting
Fascinating process. Would love a review of the new camera video at some point, especially how it links up to external microphones.
Working on it today
yet again brilliant video
Great vidio Darren ,they was doing work last June ,a stayed in the queen's hotel,as went to a concert Leeds arena,great to see you back 👍
Great coverage, and it's a great series: a lot of Low-background metal there, if it is over 80 years old, in nice large chunks.
Great footage
Great video keep up with the good work
Will miss the old section that was there, but i am excited to see the apparent clock tower that's going there, do love a clock tower 😂
You must have been freezing...but i enjoyed seeing all of this.
Great to c u back and no fairgrounds yippee😅😅
Fantastic video 📸 Darren and brilliant new and very clear picture 🖼️😁. Thank you for recording this site in very wet Leeds town. 👍. Darren have you seen the flats been knocking down at Asda killing beck. I don't know if you want to record it. My husband recorded it on the York road and also behind railway line. 🤔 Just a thought 🤔
Excellent work. Valuable metal is there to make medical devices if it is indeed over 100 years old.
Nice one! I’ve beaten you to the DJI Osmo Pocket 3! Got mine on 07/Nov/2023! 😜
Got mine the 10th. It was due the 7th but they sent it back by accident
Hello Darren how are you its good to have you back interested vidio of the Leeds train station its very dark best wishes take care stay safe xx ❤😊😊
Would have been a great time lapse that mate …thanks for sharing 👍🏻
If I was there long enough lol
@@AdventureMe thought you were supposed to be dedicated 😉
glad your back i've missed you
I appreciate that!
Hi.how's it going and another fantastic video well done and keep up the great work
Darren good to see you back.good video as usual.i was delivering down there earlier in week . traffic chaos round where you were.any way I would of thought you would be all over the removal of Queen Street bridge in York near the station.this will cause mayhem when it gets underway and lastly you mentioned new.videos railway related .can't get them on here quick enough.hope you're mother's ok going forward well done Darren .all the best in the future.
More railways fantastic 👏 👌
Awesome video mate !! Should come up my tower crane in london 👍🏻
That would be cool! Also sounds filthy haha 😂
Thanks Darren for keeping the world up to date on the changes to Leeds
I was over in October this year and made a point of visiting the Wellington street bridge garden all thanks to you and your channel
Keep up the good work
Glad to help
Nice one Darren. I live near Leeds and have been watching the demolition progress. I've looked at the plans from the Leeds Council website and apart from smartening the area, it looks like they've just effectively moved the Taxi rank from New Station Street down a level to Bishopgate street. Thereby losing all the space that was once underneath New Station Street. It seems a lot of money for little gain in my opinion.
Nice video Darren. Great to see you back, are you doing an update on the ultimate demolition
Yes I am, don't know when though
buzzing
seen a few posts on fb the one thing that stuck was your name being mentioned in dispatches darren well done hope yur mum is well
Dispatches?
@@AdventureMe google it darren lol
and branded hard hat too!
Of course
Cheers for these, pal. How the hell did they get them in there in the first place!
While it's interesting lifting them beems out , I would really love to learn how they put them in to start with
Great photos again of Leeds Station Victorian steelwork. Would it be possible to get some daytime photos/videos. Hopefully, if not, it is already cut up and removed from the site. I would like to see the steelwork on daylight. Again thank you for your fantastic videos of our history. Now, in certain cases long gone. Kind regards Mike
Already gone unfortunately. They were ahead of schedule. But there's loads I have coming on my socials this week
Thanks Darren
Wonder how they placed thoughs girders there back in the day ?
You said those beams had been there 80 years. That's 1943. Pre 1945 steel is worth quite a bit, as its radioactive signature is obviously lower! Before those two bombs went off in August 1945.
The space industry likes to use radioactively pure steel for its sattelite programmes, as it does not interfere with the signals they are trying to pick up, so much.
Hence why the Chinese are excavating old WWII wrecks in the South China seas!
HOABL
Those Victorians eh!!!
NEVER made anything to last!!
At least you witnessed something ending that the people who put it there, could say they would not!!
Hats off to a forgotten race that "Outshone" us now!!
Weather look shocking in Leeds.
Hi Darren do you live in rothwell I'm sure I seen you the other day ?
Yes. Near there
Hey did you see the update on the leeds train station.....
About what?
Was this work of improving the station started on the basis HS2 and Trans Pennines express would be approved for Leeds?
I think HS2 was going through the Asda offices and would have had a different terminus.
Publication of the proposed route on 28 January 2013 showed that the Leeds station would be a new terminus connected to Leeds City station by airport-style pedestrian walkways, possibly with moving walkways.[2][4]
@@andrew300169 thanks yes I guess that’s similar to Birmingham New street which was improved but the HS2 station would be a new one slightly south of it
Yes these changes are part of Leeds council's drive to de-traffic the centre as part of the green agenda!
What year were the beams put in ???
We don't know for sure. Guess is 1920s
How did they put them in the first place
Built in sections and riveted together originally
You're making me feel guilty watching you when I'm warm and tucked up in bed lo
Osmo pocket 3 is appalling so many issues my advice send it back lol
Not had any problems so far. What kind of issues?
How did they get the beams in place hundreds of years ago? Definitely not horse and cart I take it.
Pleased you managed to get in. I understand why you refused to video. but it would have been one up on them and their stupid jobsworth comments if you had.
When the new modern beams are installed they will probably need urgent work after around 10 years for safety reasons.
The original beams are there still secure and would probably last another 100 years with a bit of looking after.
The Victorians knew what was needed and then went about 50% over just to make sure.
The Forth rail bridge is a perfect example.
Yeah most likely
Only Leeds Council could think that moving buses and taxis further away from the entrance helps passengers. The loop round the front of the entrance was the best place to put transport interchange. Paving it over might make it pretty, but walking is going to be increased, and for a proportion of the population, not a reasonably viable option
Relocating the existing taxi rank to Bishopgate Street where there will be a large and well-lit shelter and room for six vehicles, also allowing for kerb-side boarding which will help people with wheelchairs or assistance dogs to board more easily.
It’s being moved 50yds further away 🤷🏻♂️
@andrew300169 Your last two words rather prove my point, thanks. There is also the fact that the changes have already added go the cost of the taxis, my last trip added an extra 1.50 to the journey just because the taxi is effectively on the wrong side of the works for my journey and has to divert all round, increasing both time and thus cost. You also skipped the bus part,where the nearest stop is now along the shopping street instead of the station front, again not ideal for the less mobile and those that cannot justify taxi fares!
How did they put it in 100 years ago. Maybe Aliens helped them 😅
Too bad they can't reuse the beams elsewhere.
Questionable strength of some of these old steel sections, particularly in fire.
👍All part of Leeds City Council war on motorists 😢
Leeds is at the top of the worst air quality charts in the U.K. for years, it causes 1,000’s of deaths each year.
Live data as I write has
1. Pudsey
2. Nottingham.
3. Leeds
In comparison with other European countries, the UK ranked 27th out of 37 countries.
In other words we live in one of the worst cities in one of the worst countries. We deserve better.
@@andrew300169 Apologies . I stopped at Leeds is.....😂
@@mci6830 You could have learned something 🤷🏻♂️ . With good pedestrian roads, cycle paths, comes clean air, companies, jobs, tourism. It’s a race to be a city of the future.
@@andrew300169 Well that certainly isn't true - even the Council couldn't fiddle the figures to justify their LTN car charging scheme and abandoned it after spending millions on cameras. Apart from two very localised spots (Armley gyratory and near the Corn Exchange - ironically probably caused by buses) the figures aren't that bad. On all measures of air pollutants the figures have decline steadily over 50 years to a fraction of what they were in 1970.
@@user-bs3fh7xn2s it really is true, there are many research papers published that people and businesses prefer to come to clean healthy environments, currently Leeds isn’t one of those and needs to step up its game to remain relevant.
Not sure what you have against nice places to visit with clean air and pedestrianised streets 🤷🏻♂️
A lot of money going here people?
It a waste of money that could have been put towards improvements to the roads into Leeds as they are choc a block all day as there’s not enough lanes and clear signage to follow it’s confusing, if you don’t know your way around, I live near Huddersfield and I know my way around Leeds, the amount of people I see lost and asking for directions from bus drivers or shop staff is ridiculous it should be put it towards that instead of destroying Leeds history and there will be nothing for us to show how Leeds was from industrial revolution or to show mine and other people’s grandchildren and god children because it’s all been destroyed for horrible ugly buildings that don’t even resemble a train station it will look more like a fine art gallery than a place to get a train to Blackpool or London 😡😡😡
Congratulations in researching the old leeds station underground system. One that is missing is midway under neville.street, which was the old entrance to the vast complex of what was an office,I can not say much here but could feed you more.somehow
