- Jesse Horsfall was born in Todmorden in 1859, his father was an architect.
At 21 years old, Jesse was given the task of creating a coffee house and temperance hotel by John Fielden. Over the next 30 years, until his passing in 1910 at 51 years of age, Jesse was the lead architect on a number of buildings across Todmorden. Most of them still stand today 130 years later.
Join me on a wander around Todmorden and see what buildings appeared during the creation of a new Todmorden at the end of the 19th / early 20th Century.
Interesting history Mat! Thank you 😊
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Great video.Stile School was further up past Ferney Lee School up Stile Road where there is a fairly new small housing estate. 12:55 12:55 Merry Christmas ❤
Ah, should have looked for Stile Road....never mind. Thanks. All the best 👍
Very interesting video again Matt. It's amazing that we all take buildings for granted in our own towns and villages and never really give them a second thought or glance, and yet they have stood the test of time due to their planning, design structure and I would dare say 'being built with passion', unlike many of today's more modern builds!
Cheers. When you look at his buildings, you actually see a pattern emerge in their styling, and they are indeed rather fine buildings, too. I'm certainly no fan of today's new 'boxes' of quick and easy construction. Thanks for watching 🙂
Another great video! 💯
Thanks 😊
Interesting 👍 I never knew about the original sorting office .. great video 👍🙂
Neither did I. It's only when you then spot the obvious hidden in plain sight 🙂
Bit of a'pointy gable' fan was old Jesse. Live in Tod and really enjoy your content.
Ha...yeah, once you see his 'style" it's really noticeable. Thanks for watching 🙂
Learnt stuff here. You tought me stuff about Rochdale didn't think that possible so thanks
Glad to hear it 🙂 A few Rochdale vids on the horizon 😀 👍
Good bit of Tod history…never heard of him before…
Thanks, yeah, I don't think many people have
😂 jossy blooper at the end . Brilliant 😅
😅
Excellent video Matt…fantastic churchyard and your research is very interesting…keep the videos coming mate I love them 👍
Thanks buddy. I think you'll enjoy a cemetery we're visiting this week. 😉
@@matparks08 ..oooh can’t wait 🙂
That was really interesting, learn a lot from your channel, hope you will get round to doing a piece on the Bronze Age burial site!
Thanks Lee, much appreciated. Yeah, I hope so too 🙂
In the 70s i seem to remember we used to go for swimming class at a Slade or Shade school.
Or Shade baths? Sorry awful long time ago : )
Google was my freind, it was Shade primary, looks like its still going
Cheers...yeah, you found your answer I see 🙂, Shade does have a swimming pool. I went in the 80s as a kid...hated it to be fair 😅
Great vid by the way, thanks!
Thank you 😊
Beautiful buildings unlike some of the monstosaties that are built today , i like todmorden very historical,you will be as fit as a fiddle all the walking you are doing ,
They really are, and a testament to him that they have lasted so long too. 🙂
@ 10:52 "Were you aware that these were designed by Jesse?, I have a funny feeling, probably not".
You're funny feeling is spot on, here at least. I always thought solely of The Fieldens more or less when visiting and learning about Todmorden, it's history and major buildings. Nice surprise then to learn about Jesse Horsfall. Sadly died a bit young at only 51.
Thank you 🙂 Definitely a forgotten name, despite all his work in the town. Yeah, 51 not a great age unfortunately. Thanks for watching
Have you done much on Stoodley Pike and the fake claim it was re-built by a Jewish businessman in recent years?
=
I've done half of it ...(just the stoodley pike bit, not the claims....I've never heard that before 🤔)
@@matparks08
Well Sowerby Wainhouse[?] Tower and Stoodley Pike may have had hidden history elements - not discussed by mainstream history??
My take is that they link to the ancient and CURRENT [of which I have a degree of proof] UFO-contact field...??
Interested on anything you've found in this direction.
Good research - thankyou.
I know there's a history of ufo sightings around Stoodley Pike. I've covered a few ufo stories on the channel here if you've not seen them yet? 🙂
@@matparks08 I heard the original was damaged and a Jewish wealthy type built current one.
Hence the star image in the front you see now.
