Who won the Calderdale camra?

I think my cousin and his mates did a recreative photo of the one at 13:43 is it still there?

Love the videos! Glad to see you back again!

Another good video as always, always enjoy your content

I live in Sowerby Bridge, me and my Dad were the original mechanics in ;73 ( I was 13) when Shire Cruisers was formed by Mark Andrew. I have every photo of the re opening of the locks in S Bridge from day one dig to day opened.

Who lifts the barrels up on to the top racks?

I used to hang out with my friends here after college, didn't know there used to be a canal here.

Top of that lane there (used) to be a garage. Which was initially a pump house for the canal. Top of Phoebe lane. Aah. You've covered it

Loving these videos!

Pretty nice countryside.

Do u run it yourself or have management team

Can u do a full pub and flat tour

Since I’ve never worked in a tavern or pub, I would be interested in knowing about how those vacuum (?) pans under the traditional ale taps work and what they do. Do they “recycle” the ale back out the pump?

Brilliant stuff. My fave pub in halifax when I’m there is the Three Pigeons, but I intend to make the effort to visit you. The pub looks superb. Cheers

The canel ran under the Nestle factory. We can see the shape of the canel walls in the cellar.

Yes, many of us who were around then remember Donald John, in winter he used to sleep overnight in Marshalls brick curing kilns

Interesting stuff James. Well done.

Hand spikes aren't really that difficult to use, really depends on how much love the C&RT can afford to gove each paddle. In reality rhat means every other one is really stiff and hard to move, that is regardless of whether you need a spike or windlass to wind them. Great video, interesting on so many levels.

Good to see a shot of the patrons and barkeeps! 👍👍🍺

“Behave…what happens today is on Facebook tomorrow.” Love that placard near the bar! Thanks for a Grand Tour. It looks like 6th Formers are the US equivalent of Seniors/ 12th grade; I was certainly downing more than a few beers at that age too. No harm done, I would say. Modern “sphincters” are a tad bit too tight, eh?

Enjoyed watching this video. It was of particular interest as we lived in Salterhebble right next to the canal until 1951.

Didn't realise "Goose Eye" brewery still existed? Use to enjoy one of their beers called "Old Three Laps" I think, back in the early eighties in Lincoln. As a Hertfordshire bloke, I think use of a sparkler is generally for the better. Unless it's one of these cloudy beers?

Tetley bitter was a very good beer back in the day .

Hi James. Would I be right in thinking burton ale is the same recipie as double diamond which I drank as a teenager 55 years ago before emmigrating to Oz. Love the pub videos.

Love this! A channel about a man’s actual pub. Fantastic! Great insight. Looking forward to more.

Cross keys at Siddal, another amazing pub! My Nana told me my great grandfather came home with a monkey from that pub once.

Did not even know this pub existed... Live in Elland, I may pop in next time I am about.

Great to see a pub like this and good to hear you always have a dark real ale on 🍻

Absolutley cracking pub.

My sister lives in Leeds, I'll definately make sure to stop by for a pint the next time I'm up. I'm from a town just outside of Reading, we still have the odd pub like this but unfortunately a lot of them are chains now and more aimed towards selling food and VERY expensive pints haha. Absolutely love the vibe of the Big 6, looking forward to it!

Came across by chance brings back memories lots of work involved in running a pub lots of customers don't realise that good to see some dark real ales waiting to go on 🍻

brilliant thanks for sharing

interesting. I must add too though that cash is king!

Great video James, keep up the good work 🍺👍

Fast becoming one of my favourite YT channels this. Loved every single pub vid you've done. I'll need to come visit Halifax one day, drop in for a few jars.

I enjoy watching your videos, very interesting and the stories you tell are cool to listen to, very nice pub, thumbs up.

I remember when Old Mill was brewed in Snaith near Goole, their "Bullion" bitter was a favourite of mine.

When did John Baldwin give up as the licensee of the Big Six? I remember John ran the place for many years, he used to live in the former police house in Mixenden when he lived with his parents.

Awesome video. Loving it here from Texas!

There isn't much of the old Warner & Swasey Turning Machines factory left standing, it started below the railway bridge were it crosses Water Lane to the bend in the road at Stoney Royd. I worked for W & S in the 1970's and 1980's until it closed in 1983 and the business moved to Telford in Shropshire. The Hebble Brook still flows under what was Warner & Swasey's final assembly shed. There was also an old WWII air raid shelter just off Water Lane, next to Warner & Swasey's car park.

5 Points Best - Super Beer from them....Fuggles heaven....always a Sparkler !!!! 🙂

If pubs still looked like this, I would still visit them.

Thank you for posting. I enjoyed watching,

Haha…coming from California, the ‘strong’ at 6% is on the low end. IPA’s we serve here start at 7% and go to 11% for the triples. Most craft IPA here go at 8.5%. Real difference between ales and IPA

Great video❤

i am an expert 🤣 always try to tap with one hit 😅should have just tapped a soft peg in the top then later swapped it for a self breather i used to stock friary meux bitter it was very volatile and often got a beer shampoo. nice vid

That’s a gorgeous pub with a lot of history. Love the content from Chicago

Parts of the canal basin still exist under the factory, and form part of the basement - used to work there a few years ago and a colleague showed me the sloping walls etc thar were originally part of the canal.

Great video. Knew bugger all about that route . I look forward to exploring.

Love this sort of stuff, my interest coming frim when i worked for my dad in the joiners shop he had. It was an old canal building on the bradford branch of the Leeds Liverpool canal. Watched them take out the last remaining lock called Spinkwell lock in the early 90s, the canal had been long derelict by then.
