Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- In this video we explore Spurn Point and the Military Structures that date back to World War One. This Military fort was in use until 1958. The Yorkshire Wildlife Trust purchased the entire site in 1988 and have been restoring it ever since. Spurn is a narrow sand tidal island located off the tip of the coast of the East Riding of Yorkshire, England that reaches into the North Sea and forms the north bank of the mouth of the Humber Estuary.

The railway was built during WW1 when the batteries were built and was the only land link to the point until the concrete road was built in WW2. There were even a couple of tiny wagons fitted with sails, used after hours, apparently 40mph was possible. The line was scrapped around 1950. Just before the lighthouse you can see the foundations of the engine shed.
So interesting Andy & Dave, i never knew Spurn Point had a railway! WOW its looks freezing & the wind makes it very atmospheric i love Daves wartime info! Loved this video. ❤😊👍
It sure did. The railway was originally wind powered and then later steam. I believe there may have been a diesel locomotive there for a short while towards the end in the 1960’s
I’m J Wallis - name on the wall from 1989. On your video 20:17.
Great video, very informative 👍
Hello I'm new friend fantastic vide
Great job like and 871🔔👈.
Hope to see you soon.
Happy day.
Closish to the 2008/10 time still fully active RNLI housing, dual jetties, there were old ammo stores, concrete with heavily rusted slab doors on t'end, very similar to those as can be found on High Edge Raceway track above Buxton. (it being an ammo storage facility during WW2 /RAF camp).
Hello there. Thanks for watching and commenting. :)
Great place to go and have a stroll in the sunshine. Remember going in the pillboxes over 50yrs ago when I was a bairn.
Hello there. It sure is an interesting place. Thank you so much for watching and commenting
VTS - Vessel Tracking Something. The Unimog trip was worthwhile when I went with the children, the guide adds a bit of nature talk too. Fog meant zero view from the lighthouse :-(.Looking forward to part 2!
Vessel Traffic Services - they monitor and regulate navigation.
I went there yesterday and that pallet of bricks is still there at 11:27!
TheMightyKinkle great to hear that it’s back open. Thanks for watching :)
Was used as a field centre by Hull University but now covered with sand
Oh wow thats really good information. Thank you. I will return to Spurn Point in the future and will capture that again.
@@ALWResearchTeam well as you go down the point at the "end" on the left hand side of the road if still there
There is a huge round construction rather like a lighthouse base. The outer circle contained rooms. Kitchens, dormitories washing facilities and communal areas. These all led out onto a circular "yard " . I spent time there and it was great in the late 60s. It was Hull Hull University's field centre but was clearly built not for them but as some live in fortifications for defence during the war. I went down there 10 - 25 years ago and found it abandoned the university had clearly let it go and it was full of sand and the central court was the only recognisable remain that could be seen. Hope you find something .Happy days staying there in late summer 60s or 70s.
Hello Graham Nettleton, we will certainly try to locate this and will film it for an update when we re visit. Thank you so much for this information.
Your videos are great! You have something to learn, thanks friend!
Another great video, been a few years since I’ve looked around spurn. There’s another tunnel next to the GC tower/vts humber that I started to dig out a few years ago. It was heavily overgrown I’m not sure if you spotted it or not cheers
This is a very interesting video. I hadn't heard of this place. Lots of great information. Brilliant!
Thank You 🙏
Great video mate
If they are available, may I suggest that you obtain plans of the fort before you physically visit it and show them in your video, linking them to your commentary. As a result both you and your visitors would be better informed
Hello there, we will be going back at some point to re film the area. Spurn is so special as it is changing all the time with the shift of the tides
Hey there ALW Exploration. I saw you with Welshwitchgirl. I explore in Florida.
Hi Snowman, Florida is awesome. I’ll check out your channel now 😎👍
❤❤❤
Hi there, this is a classic now :)
I see that the Bull sand fort is for sale. :)
It indeed is/was the list price was £50k but it sold for £500k 🤩
great video 👍
Thank You
@@ALWResearchTeam welxome
Probably at 23.49. A large round constriction with round open yard in the centre and rooms around as labs and accommodation.

Thats really helpful. Thank You.
It’s a shame the Yorkshire wildlife trust are not required to maintain the military aspects of spurn.
Hi there :) YWT are doing a great job there. It would likely be a ruin without them.
They actually are digging more out month but month, they run their own military tours now in the unimog with a local military historian.
Just be careful if you go back, what look like cobwebs on the bushes are actually brown Caterpillar chrysalis’s and can burn your skin
Hi Chris, we sure will be going back at some point and we won’t touch any wildlife
