Goodness! What an amazing bonus. Peter was fantastic, and love the story about the miller's daughter. I had to Google what a flint mill was actually used for, and Peter mentioned it towards the end... pottery! Great to see all your excitment as the wheel kicked in :) Great explore, thanks all!
@IckeWalks please send some get well vibes my way, I'm in hospital now. I got blue lighted on Fri night after collapsing at home. Had a ct scan done 12 hours after l was admitted, and an obstruction showed up. I'm ok though.
While watching, was thinking: The journey or the walk toward our destination in life can have such beauty. Sure, the destination is the trophy, but the journey can be priceless. Thanks for the different angle on ‘legging it,’ which was probably not the angle you took when working on PT patients’ legs. To G, P, A & J, salute from TX. Also, thanks to the kindness of the man who showed you guys around the mill 🫡
Our engineering skill is amazing! AS a later commentator here says, canals crossing each other on aqueducts seem so counter intuitive! And i'd never thought about where the water for canal's came from before. Using feeder lakes as giant cisterns is genius, but so obvious.
That was great! Peter seemed to be happy to show of thier restoration work. Lucky day. But overall, from an outsider point of view, it does seem weird to have canals crossing each other.
Hayup Gareth there’s so much going on in this one how many layers of canals railways and rivers, brilliant that Peter let you look around it’s a response to your collective enthusiasm, the wheel circumference and how many revolutions per minute you may be able to work out the theoretical water flow speed, it varies wheel width and chute width depth, so it won’t relate to river speed. Taxes on bricks for number off then size perhaps that’s why the pyramids and balbeck are so big? They did the window tax of course and the lesser known door tax, there was even a concrete or lime mortar floor tax seen evidence of that in post 1930s wooden garages they buried the concrete floors as it reduced the rates or rateable value, may have been 1953 or thereabouts when business rates became overlayed on to house. either way if you complained to much or to vividly you where offered a stay at one of them hospitals for the alternative minded. fantastic episode, Cheers
@@IckeWalks I liked that water wheel doorway lintel, that’s cool, our farm had ships timbers with Roman numerals elegantly carved in to the main beams all over forty feet with quite a girth to them, had many additional holes cut in to it not needed for the house. At Downton Hampshire there’s a house built with the timbers off sir Walter Raleigh ship that was sailed up the Avon for the purpose!. River must have been pretty wide back in the day, cool heh not just ghosts of the land but of the sea too! happy days.
Another excellent and informative video. Thanks, guys 👍
Cheers mate,
Another fascinating informative video 📹 😊😊😊thank u 4 sharing Gents 😊😊😊😊
@@johnosgraveyardjaunts2235 thanks! Was a fun walk.

@@clairharwood thank you very much! Peter was a lovely bloke.
What a fabulous little find at the end, and topped off by the heritage geezer. You were well and truly rewarded!
Lovely bloke!

Rudyard lake is lovely. I had no idea it was man made when I first went there.
Hey Gazza and Chaps 😅 ya can't beat a good old fashioned water mill 😊😊😊
@@johnosgraveyardjaunts2235 love em mate!
PMSL! Awwwww Mate 😅
Absolutely loved the ending at the Mill and all it's history. Good ol' Pete, proper bloke👏🏼💦
This was so amazing cheers you guys :).
Cheers!

@bwaynesilva yeah, it's definitely not the norm. I guess maybe the lay of the land, or land ownership disputes may have left them with no choice.
Fab Gareth...what a canal corker!
@@declanjoyce8640 cheers pal
Brilliant!
Thank you!
Awesome video hope you all had good Christmas happy new year to you all ❤❤❤❤❤ 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy new year!
I have a short video of the lime kiln at Whitwell, it's massive! If you'd like a peek. I was giving it some "awwww mate' 😅 How can i send it?
Isn't Frogmore Cottage where randy andy lived?
So it was!

@@alfaubrom peter coming along was such a bonus. We were about ready to wrap up. Love these little added touches
