@alfaubrom 11 minutes ago Hayup Gareth, it int tin tunnel, fabulous that, looks like a tunnel viaduct, a tunduct? We’ll have to rewatch them longer episodes tis it out to do with Tin. I’ve had a daft thought that’s not unusual is it, recently I kept thinking about the Green Man so I watched a few videos to hear folks thoughts, the general consensus being that the foliage or foliate geezer had the Green Man mantle asighned to him by a Lady Raglan in the 1930,s she claims to have given him the name in a folklore journal in 1939 this is further supported by professors an mainstream academia essentially anyone with PHD. Not one to normally question anything!?! on this rare occasion I was drawn to, fortunately I too possess a PHD ( a Particularly Hairy Dog! ) an collectively we pondered this conundrum, having grown up in an around Ashbourne I was of course aware of the Green Man Pub an that local estate agents Henry Spencer an sons offered our old farm for sale there, no doubt they will have records of earlier sales at that venue, so a reasonable start to predate the name prior to 1939, after a few months I found a video this week of Ashbourne in photographs from 1909 an younger, fantastic there in about 1919 going off the bus sharabang thingy, clearly displayed is the street sign The Green Man and Saracens Head pub, plus petrol and garage! I know it doesn’t do to question anything these days, but for sanity’s sake and in the name of beer I was wondering if you might take up this Quest? Well send Beer! Your both great researchers, I’d imagine that more photos can be found earlier than 1939 an it’s also of note that both the Saracens and the Green Man are well err a tale of two Heads, in the town records they may have a business license of when that pub became so named! Theres other pubs of this name ones in Ashby de la Zouch. In a way I see Yourself an Phil an Co, as the Green Men allways out in nature whatever the weather. Wet feet or not rambling an scrambling over any terrain, Great stuff, I’ll find the short video title an put it up in a separate comment. Cheers
Great video Gaz, looked a tad muddy in places. Currently on the Manxman going to Heysham, then hightail it down to the island.
Cheers Gareth...I do like when you bring Phil along...
Same mate really knowledgeable seems like a top bloke
@@ivansime9127 I think on these Welsh ones i took Gareth along with me 😀
Love these snippets but also enjoy the longer ones too! Stay safe in the 'new' UK my friend!😉
Thanks mate! You too.
I've been through that tunnel, there wasn't a wall at the end then and it was on a motor bike in much dryer times. would have been about '88......
Wonder if Wordsworth explored any tunnels or navigated muddy paths around Tintern Abbey; probably not with the nice flashlight (torch ;) you have.
Wife got me that!
