A Monument That Nearly Wasn't
The tallest three sided obelisk in the world, this monument to the Duke of Wellington nearly never existed!
The idea for the monument was first mooted in 1817, two years after the Duke's famous victory over Napoleon at Waterloo. Originally a triangular pillar was to be topped with a bronze statue of Wellington, with a total height of 140ft. Months later, however, support for the monument had waned and the obelisk was wasn't completed for another 30 years. The statue of Wellington was never added.
In 1890 the monument was rebuilt after a lightning strike. The new monument was taller, reaching it's current size of 175ft.

Discover the windmill by the sea
Переглядів 37Місяць тому
The windmill at Medmerry, near Selsey (West Sussex) was built in 1827, replacing an earlier post mill on the site. It has gone through several refits over it's life, most notably in 1907. It continued to work as a mill until the early 1920s, becoming derelict in 1928. Work on restoration began in the 1960s, replacing damaged sails and again in the late 1980s when wind destroyed the sails again....

Great video. Like the music too.

Nice one
Thank you Gerard
Great video and music. Well Done 👏👏
Thank you John. 👍
Only knockers we get are Canvassers, Jehovah's Witnesses and folk selling Sky. Great video mate
Thank you. ☺️ I reckon the mine knockers have started canvassing since all the mines closed.
Fantastic story video 👊😎 thanks for sharing 😊🙏
Thank you. ☺️ it’s nerve wracking putting your voice into video. 😬
@@StuFliesAroundCornwall that I can’t believe😊 I have wanted to do it myself for sometime, but I just can’t do it😂 But your voice sounds like a it belongs in a discovery nature channel movie👊😎 keep going it’s awesome😊🙏
tolle bilder einfach nur klasse 👍🏻 toll geflogen großartig danke fürs teilen grüße semare
Thank you my friend. ☺️
De magnifiques clichés 👍✌️
Merci beaucoup mon ami. ☺️
Brilliant video Stu. The narration adds so much. 10 out of 10
Thank you ☺️ I wanted to put together something with some older clips.
Looks a beautiful place. Beautiful video.
Thank you. Lots of beautiful places - you can’t beat a good engine house on the moors. 👍
Great aerial views of the harvesting and bailing hay.
Thank you. ☺️ I had to stalk that tractor four miles! 😂
Love your videos, very inspiring, new sub 😊
Thank you ☺️ and thank you for the sub 👍
@@StuFliesAroundCornwall only just starting up and feel very inspired by your footage
@@thedavids.tv1 it’s a brilliant hobby. I found the tutorials by @TedNemeth inspiring.
Great stuff, love to see these farming videos.
Thanks David - its certainly the time of year for them.
Brilliant. Lovely flight 👌 ❤
Thank you. ☺️ I stalked that tractor for miles. 😂
Very good 👍
Thanks Matt. It involved a lot of Tractor stalking on a Saturday afternoon. 😂
@StuFliesAroundCornwall I love it mate.. well done 😆👍
Superbe comme un animal qui pond des oeufs ❤👍👍👍✌️
That’s just what I thought as well. Thank you for watching 👍🥚
Back in my youth I baled way too many bales to remember. Do not miss those days standing on the hay hack stacking bales in the hot summer sun!
It seems a lot less strenuous now.
@@StuFliesAroundCornwall Very much so.
Nice 👍
Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
That's great 👍 new to us that part of Cornwall
Thank you. It is a beautiful, if less visited part of the Duchy. Thank you for watching.
That's interesting 👌 nice film
Thank you. It was a great place to explore and would be great to fly some FPV around
Bad weather round here can't manage to find time to go out and shoot lol
Same here. What with work and the weather, I’ll be lucky to get out to fly more than once every couple of weeks.
Brilliant work, thanks for sharing! 👏👏🙋♂
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching. 👍

Enjoyed that matey. 🤗
Thanks Col. ☺️ it was a quick flight on the way home from work
Fantastic old buildings, so good that they are preserving them for future generations. And what a view from that top window.
Yes! It’s a great little windmill and one I’d wanted to fly around for years. Glad I got the opportunity, even if it was a little windy
Awesome 🤩
Thanks Tony. ☺️
nice video.. loved it ty!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me! ☺️
Another nice video. Nicely flown mate 👌 is that near Torpoint?
Thank you. ☺️ Yes, it's just outside the village of Antony, near Torpoint.
Fantastic capture as always my friend 👊😎 thanks for sharing your adventures with us😊🙏
Thank you ☺️ I’m going back there once the weather improves to look for the railway.
Looks like it's been abandoned a long time stu. In a cracking spot too 👌
Cheers Jim. I don’t think it’s been used for several years - would be great to tear around it though with an FPV chasing an RC car, don’t you think?
@@StuFliesAroundCornwall certainly would buddy lol
Find engine houses fascinating go all over Cornwall looking at them
They are amazing pieces of architecture - I love exploring them
Wouldn’t get me on a tea tray on the sea 🤣 looks like you had fun making this though 👍
Thanks mate. I struggle on the tea trays as well. 🤣
That is screaming haunted. 😱
It does! And it’s hidden away right next to the largest car park in Looe.
Looks like it was once a very Nice racetrack.👌
I spotted it on the way to film the nearby windmill. Looked a bit sad and overgrown.
@@StuFliesAroundCornwall too bad it had to come to that.
Cool location and flight 👊😎thanks for sharing 😊🙏 hope you have a great weekend..
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the location and the flight. Wishing you a fantastic weekend as well! ☺️
Wonderful old mill and a great video. Well done, keep it up!!!
Thank you ☺️ I was glad the wind dropped slightly just as I arrived. Still a bit gusty though
This is again a very nice video of you. The footage is great. Keep up the good work and best regards 😀
Thank you for your encouraging words. ☺️
