Thank you for the mention, Jim, I really appreciate it. I couldn't think of anyone else to give the books to other than the Hull History Nerd himself. Keep up the great work!
Thankyou so much Shane, those books really are the gift that keeps on giving. Just flicking through some random books from your collection has suggested half a dozen new video topics already!
I tip my hat to you sir on you 10k subscriber milestone. It’s been a pleasure watching your content over the years, learning lots of interesting things I did not know about my own city! All the best. Rich.
You get get special mirrors for autocues on tablets. You mount them in front of the camera lens with the tablet facing up. It then gets reversed on a 45º two way mirror so you can see it. The camera looks straight through the mirror too. The pro studios have been using these for years.
All of which is great until you realise that I'm not a team, I'm just one person and I'm not going to drag all that equipment on a location shoot on my own! I don't even set up or bring my separate monitor to location shoots these days, I just use hyperfocal ranges to keep me in focus. Got to travel light when you're a one-person operation! Anyway, I've adapted to just talking off the cuff around the scripts' points anyway, it works much better and, for better or worse, it's more me talking to the camera than me reading a script!
Congratulations Jim....and Neil Oliver can only dream of such a gig these days. As to your delivery style.... It's so charming and unassuming, your so obviously from Hull.... Thank you for your efforts. I'd be delighted if some Ravenser related history were to resurface from the depths of the Humber. P.s hope you caught my good side whilst filming last week. 🤪👍
Knew i was a nerd, didn't realise how much until i watched your vids. Really enjoy what you do, keep them coming in the same style please, don't change.
Great to hear Martin Zero Geoff Marshall etc prompted you to make videos I enjoy all of these and many others like Jago Hazard in London ascso much derelict land or old buildings disappearing fast under concrete !!!! As I live near London Docklands and my late wife lived right in Docklands virtually up against the Dock Wall so told me much background.
You deserve every subscriber Jamie. You do sterling work... Reminds me of something that was "Jerry Built". A corruption of Jury Rig; a quickly fabricated temporary structure. As a child I always thought it odd that Germans would build something in England. Kids eh? We believe owt we're told....
If you ever get chance it would be interesting to here about the railway that was never built and why that would have left the Beverley line and ran out into Holderness past Routh. Great to hear that there are more videos to come. All the best 🇬🇧.
Jamie, bloody good content Sir! I am kicking my channel up the rear and wil be exploring all manner of places in Yorkshire! All of your videos are golden! Thanks! look forward to more!
So glad you're doing some videos on the Harrying of the North. Scarborough was wiped off the map during Domesday and all of the Norths influence and power was transferred to the south east where it remains. Looking forward to everything you have in the pipeline and congratulations on 10k and thanks for your continued hard work.
Brilliant stuff all round, docks and railways prob most interesting, for me. Spent 3 years in Hull in 60's at School of Architecture, fascinating city & history. Leisure? Hull FC, City, Hull K R in rotation, happy days.
Why do we do it to ourselves? Nostalgia can be quite depressing. I found myself in 2018 in the Lifestyle Museum and was gripped by a sudden sense of loss. I remarked as much to Alan our long time friend, who doesn't seem as afflicted as I. It was quite debilitating, this yearning for some nebulous intangible facet of the past. And yet, for myself, I keep doing it. "Hull, the Good Old Days", my favourite go-to. HHN, another must watch. We must be gluttons for punishment. Never quite figured it out, why we put ourselves through the sometimes emotional pain of loss when we intentionally visit the past. It's an itch that can never be scratched, like a gambling or drug addiction... Is it a "previous life reincarnation" thing if such is possible? Dunno, but I've cogitatated the idea for many of my 75 years....
Love the idea for a different slant on famous hullensians Jamie. To be honest a long time ago I thought about researching into some of the people like Sydney Smith, Andrew Marvell and of course Amy Johnsonm people so famous that schools were named after them. Of course you have Wilberforce, but you could extend to other families like the famous Hull Quaker families like the Priestmans who made cranes etc., Alec Horsley who founded Northern Diaries which became Northern Foods and James Reckitt
Love the channel, I grew up on orchard Park and when I was a kid where tesco us on hall road there was old fairground stuff in the field.also off danepark Road there was grave stones in the fields
Hi! Thanks for doing these videos! It's so good to learn about the old city and the surrounding areas. When you do your video on Wilberforce I can thoroughly recommend William Hagues biography. Looking forward to more!! 😊
1. You egregiously underrate the affinity the camera has for you. Seriously. You do. 2. I have watched many, many, many television productions I absolutely don't think are better researched, presented, or produced than your own work. 3. Still very dapper. Good work with that diet. 4. When you see Tim (and I suspect it'll be him) tell him to ease up on the making London rich, makes us all rich thing. Firstly, it very, very clearly doesn't. Secondly, I only have so much tooth enamel. And most importantly, congratulations. In these times success rarely follows the worthy. In fact typically, the precise opposite.
I think your videos deserve more than the 10000 subscribers, fantastic content ! I'm looking forwards to more on the Hull & Barnsley line, I have covered a few locations of the line on my channel , more on the Drax side of the line, some videos on my channel show these. Keep up the good work 👍
well done on your subscriber count mate. good to see a fellow ULL lad doing well... I got chuffed at hitting 45 subs lol... looking forward to the dock videos...👍
You need to plug yourself/videos on look north with Peter levy 👍... your subscriptions would go through the roof!..... Keep up the brilliant work... you're legendary 👌👍....also, how about the history and research of Haworth house on the banks of the river hull, problem being I think it's now private residence or flats but it's been there for years always scared me as a kid as it was empty when I was young, well at least I thought it was? and I always thought it was haunted!
I would be really interested in learning about the Hull accent and people. I'm from Hull but live in Sheffield now I hear a distinct difference in both accents. I would love to know how our accent has come about. Also, how about doing something on Hull Fair. I think the whole of Hull and surroundings have such a soft spot for Hull Fair. Although I don't live in Hull I made sure my son didn't miss out on this local and historical spectacle. It would be brilliant to know about the really early origins of Hull, the Romans, the Vikings etc. And I totally disagree. You are television material!! Hence the 10,000 subscribers. Congratulations!! I love your channel and always share your videos. Looking forward to the videos to come.
I always mean to do a Hull Fair episode, and forget until it's too late! This year, I'll get it though. Interestingly enough, I've been thinking about an episode on the Hull accent, trying to figure out what sort of shape an episode on that might take. Watch this space...
@@hullhistorynerd brilliant!!! Thank you. I also think we've got a certain personality in Hull and a terrific sense of humour. I think Hull people are a bit eccentric and always look for the funny side in every situation. 😊
Watched a few shall catch up and subscribe, and a watch a few more.looking forward to one on civil war 😉. Salty end record profits for B.P we know the score
Well done that man, love the channel. Will you be doing anything on Spring Cottage? I went up there to reminisce, I was astounded to see how much it's grown since the 70s. The bottom of Stromness way used to be open fields. I always wondered why the hill on Dalsetter Rise exists, I mean Hull is so flat, It used to be a magnet for driving instructors for the teaching of hill starts.
well done and good luck for the future. I love your style and commentary; despite some small blips, makes it real and interesting. I'm a Londoner and knew absolutely nothing about Kingston upon Hull but your videos are so warming and easy to watch that i do know Hull as much as London now! can't wait for more............
I really enjoy your videos and I have no link to Hull. I have only driven through on my way to Whitby ( the long way around ) Thank you for bringing the town alive.
Thanks for this Jim. It was nice to get some insight into the motivation and such behind the channel. If you want to release hour long videos, I am so here for it. Oh!, And congrats on the 10k subs, richly deserved.
You mentioned about doing other cities in the future that would be interesting. I think you would find Durham interesting from Hadriens wall to Beamish museum to the Cathedral in Durham where apparently you could request sanctuary and they still have the famous door knocker. But I suppose we have a lot of interesting history in all our cities and it would be a massive challenge to do most of them. Good luck in the future and looking forward to more content 😁
Congratulations, Jim! I have really enjoyed your channel as it keeps me happily reminded of my youth in Hull & Cottingham. Alas, I now live 10,500 Km away & my last holiday in the East Riding was in 2018. Subsequent global events & current exorbitant travel costs has put an end to any travels to your neck of woods for the foreseeable future. Keep up the excellent work! I look forward to your forthcoming videos.
A work colleague at work recommended you about November time last year, and the docks were my first series. Unfortunately you've done so many I've been tapping on others at the same time then forgetting where I was so I've no decided to stop messing around and stay with one series at a time. But I may have just recently watched the Sculcoates video though oooops But congratulations for the 10k subs and many more to come
Well done on reaching the 10000 milestone Jamie, I’m looking forward to your video ‘roadmap’ I hope I can make one of your Rooted in Hull talks in the future 😊
Grats on the 10k subs bud. Its well earned! Besides, you do history videos in areas I still have a very strong attachment to. I used to live in the area around Hull not once but twice. I used to call Hull "home" once upon a time. :) Still. your achevmment is very well earned!. I hope you get lots more subs. you've more then earned it :)
I really, really like paisley. I'm actually thinking about doing a video on the history of the pattern because it's actually very very old and interesting!
Congratulations reaching 10k and anyone who mentions Sir Rob Hubbard deserves a thumb! Hope you went to the city hall concert. I guess a history of British chip music would be too recent and niche ;) like others I’d love an episode on Hull Fair or a piece on the blitz - location of AA guns in the city, the lost buildings and the fake port of hull. Keep up the fab work.
Oh man, now you've done it... the history of British C64 music... I'm going to be stirring that idea round now to see what I can do with it! Also, check my back catalogue of videos - I've already done an episode on the Decoy Docks!
Really enjoy your videos - and that's coming from a hardcore Yellowbelly! Feel free to wander south of the Humber anytime... there's some fascinating old Railways in Grimsby and Immingham waiting to be explored..!!
Wonderful! I'm particularly looking forward to the De la Pole family and thier red brickwork works.. Works for me! Also Beverley should be a hoot, as I was born and raised there, and as you say it's got more than its share of history. Nice one Jamie! 🌟👍
congratulations! I've really enjoyed following your Hull history series so far and it's been great showing my 5 year old how the area used to look. The passion you have for the subject is honestly infectious
Best Vlog ending ever. Keep up the videos, they're amazing, and don't deprecate yourself, you're more than good enough to be on TV, far more personable and interesting than a lot of History people on TV who can be very dry and know how to suck the life out of a subject (and yes, some of them are clearly madder than a box of frogs).
Well done on 10k subscribers I've learnt so much about the city I grew up in also added to what I already knew put more meat on the bone's as they say.Also awakened my interest in old railways as a side note I got to make a delivery to South cave station the other day very interesting the owner let me have a look at the old platform even though it's covered over you can still see the platform stones were the platform edge was and got a look at the old goods yard as well . Keep up the good work look forward to seeing more
Your videos are always interesting, but especially interested in your forthcoming videos on Edward Is castles in Wales. Have written very recently on this topic and their builders who were in main part from Savoy (now Switzerland/ France/ Italy) but there’s also a local link for you … that is the diggers of the ditches and in particular the canalisation of the River Clwyd at Rhuddlan. Edward was especially skilled at getting the right men for the job, and men came from the Fens but also Lincs and New Holland. If you’re interested in more recommend my book Welsh Castle Builders and or messaging. Enjoy your trip and look forward to more videos.
I've been a huge admirer of Master James of St John's castle designs in Wales for decades, ever since I first visited them in my early 20s. I'm very much looking forward to making that video! I'll have a look for the book, it sounds right up my alley!
Good for you! I think the first video that popped up in my feed was the one about fish dock and I swiftly caught up with all the other ones and here I am...lots to look forward to by the sound of it
Shame I'm no longer based in Hull to come to some of the talks, maybe if I'm visiting I might be lucky! Have you thought about doing a video on the old pubs of Hull?
Thanks ever so much for taking the time to put together these fascinating videos and the talks you give. I've yet to see a bad one, and I know many people that share the same opinion, and look forward to the future ones. A quick question, have you considered doing an episode on the origin of Hull Street names?
Congratulations Jamie on your 10,000 milestone, and a fair reflection on the quality of your videos. Having walked the course of the infilled Foredyke Stream from North Bridge, now a wonderful green corridor, can't wait to watch the upcoming episode!
Great video Jamie. Nice to hear you filling in the gaps in what we’ve wondered and also your future plans 👍🏼😊. Surprised me when you read my question out. I forgot that I’d asked that one a while ago. I agree, Neil Oliver is a bit of a **** 👍🏼😁
That sudden lockdown Rasputin beard and appearing as a regular on Geebeebies was one thing, and then he started opening his mouth and discovered a whole new plateau of WTF.
@@hullhistorynerd Absolutely 👍🏼. Your description of Mr. Oliver was spot on 😆. I remember you being on with Rob Bell, because I exclaimed to my wife, “LOOK!! IT’S HULL HISTORY NERD!!” 😁😁
@@hullhistorynerd Will do. The railways around here especially fascinate me. One of my first ‘projects’ last year when I bought a drone was to fly across the field, over & around one of the Drewton air shafts just outside Little Weighton 😉
@@NickB_Yorkshire Oh awesome! I wish I'd had my drone for the railways of Hull series. That's one of the reasons I considered remaking those videos, knowing what I know now about filming, being more relaxed as a presenter, and having a drone, I could really make them look so much better. But I do have future plans in that area that don't involve remaking old videos...
More video on Humber Keels and Humber Super Sloops I have been on board the Humber Sloop Spyder T when it visited Bradwell in Essex, it dwarfed the Thames Barges...
Hey Hull History Nerd another great video 👍 looking forward to seeing the stuff you've got lined up . As a suggestion how about some video's on Historical companies that originated in Hull ?? I'm thinking companies like Priestmans , Rank Hovis , Croda , Dunstons , Arco ?? There's maybe something in it worth doing. 👍
I've already been thinking about doing a series of videos like that,; local firms like Jacksons and the Hull Savings Bank left us with some beautiful buildings that we all have in our neighbourhoods and likely haven't really thought much about. Not a stretch to look into other companies that have their roots here in Hull!
Congratulations on your 10,000. My favorites are your railways, docks and WW2 until your video I didn't know there was a dummy Hull. Would love to see you do Yorkshires war factories and airfields of WW2, lost industry of Yorkshire and canals of Yorkshire.
Congratulations on the subscriber milestone. I've found your videos very fascinating. Love learning about the local area and its history. Can't wait for future videos
Burnout got in the way I'm afraid! I think I work best without the crushing weight of a hard schedule! Video on William Wilberforce is going to be ready in the next couple of weeks, and from there on hopefully I should be getting more regular again!
Congratulations on a great milestone. Well deserved. Excited to see the future content. I grew up playing down the tenfoots around Welwyn Park Ave. Loads of old air raid shelters were still present in many people's back gardens. Would love if you could squeeze something about this area into one of your videos.
@@hullhistorynerd I'm wondering if that was when the tourist train would use the old lines down near Elizabeth dock entrance. I remember a small tourist train coming down from that end one time years ago. Haven't seem it in a long time.
@@hullhistorynerd dont forget that minor earthquake we had a few years back.. my bed shook.. hang on.. was that an earthquake or was i just turning over in bed
@@bazza5699 I remember waking up and thinking there was just a really big lorry going past the house before immediately going back to sleep. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to have actually been an earthquake! Right now I'm feeling very fortunate that that's about as bad as British earthquakes get, all things considered.
@@hullhistorynerd I woke up and my first thought (don't laugh) was poltergeist moving the bed. so I did what any self-respecting male who is concerned by paranormal activity manifesting itself would do.. that's right, I pulled the duvet up over my head and lay there hoping it would go away... thank l god the duvet was of a decent tog level.. no apparition is getting through that in a hurry.
When in Hull in 2018 I bought a book from the much-reduced Browns Bookshop in George Street. The History of Hull Cinemas. I might have asked you previously if you had an interest in doing such a video...
Congrat's on 10K from one of your first ones , HnB HnB lol , this vlog and your plans are OH YES !!!! still a few bits to cover in your area , Zep wrecks in Hull , WW2 aircraft listening dishes ,Leven history etc'etc but they will be amazing as usual , here's to the next 100K
I know the Subscriber milestone scripts and the comment section too is usually a lot of regurgitated dribble about gratitude but you really do deserve each and every subscriber and I just wish there was more than one of you so we could have more HHN! Also, I know the opportunity does not present itself often, what with the subject matter usually being the suffering of the working classes and all, but you really could rely a lot more on your wit and humour in general to carry videos! This was great!
Well done 10.000 subscribers is well deserved. I honestly enjoy your videos, always look forward watching them. Neil is a Stirling man as am I, see him a lot round town a really nice guy. He does raise some very though provoking material. Again Well done 👏
Your videos are more interesting than most stuff on tv these days. Looking forward to all the upcoming episodes. Congrats on 10k subscribers.
Hull is so blessed with a rich history
Brightonification = priceless gem of terminology
I can't claim it, sadly, I found it in the wild as I was researching the Hull and Holderness episode!
Thank you for the mention, Jim, I really appreciate it. I couldn't think of anyone else to give the books to other than the Hull History Nerd himself. Keep up the great work!
Thankyou so much Shane, those books really are the gift that keeps on giving. Just flicking through some random books from your collection has suggested half a dozen new video topics already!
Yes, that's exactly how all vlogs should end. :-)
Thank you once again,Mr. Nerd. I'm already looking forward to seeing Froghall Lane.
wonderful! looking forward to your new videos..thank you.
I tip my hat to you sir on you 10k subscriber milestone. It’s been a pleasure watching your content over the years, learning lots of interesting things I did not know about my own city! All the best. Rich.
Videos on the local seaside towns would be immensely interesting. Hornsea, Withernsea etc
Watch this space...
Well done. Better than most tv 👍
You get get special mirrors for autocues on tablets. You mount them in front of the camera lens with the tablet facing up. It then gets reversed on a 45º two way mirror so you can see it. The camera looks straight through the mirror too. The pro studios have been using these for years.
All of which is great until you realise that I'm not a team, I'm just one person and I'm not going to drag all that equipment on a location shoot on my own! I don't even set up or bring my separate monitor to location shoots these days, I just use hyperfocal ranges to keep me in focus. Got to travel light when you're a one-person operation!
Anyway, I've adapted to just talking off the cuff around the scripts' points anyway, it works much better and, for better or worse, it's more me talking to the camera than me reading a script!
@@hullhistorynerd Nice one
Agree with you on Rob Hubbard .
His music is superb
Delta (in-game) and the Sanxion loader.... every time.
I saw HHN a couple of weeks ago sauntering down Northgate!
Congratulations Jim....and Neil Oliver can only dream of such a gig these days.
As to your delivery style.... It's so charming and unassuming, your so obviously from Hull.... Thank you for your efforts.
I'd be delighted if some Ravenser related history were to resurface from the depths of the Humber.
P.s hope you caught my good side whilst filming last week. 🤪👍
Funnily enough I do have an episode planned on Ravenser Odd! Hopefully should be getting out there this spring to film that one!
I look forward to your new videos, you said you’re going to do Hedon , 30 years ago, I used to live in the village of sproatlay
Brilliant as always. Thank you.
Knew i was a nerd, didn't realise how much until i watched your vids. Really enjoy what you do, keep them coming in the same style please, don't change.
I wait with baited breath for more of your entertaining videos…bring em on 😁
Great to hear Martin Zero Geoff Marshall etc prompted you to make videos I enjoy all of these and many others like Jago Hazard in London ascso much derelict land or old buildings disappearing fast under concrete !!!! As I live near London Docklands and my late wife lived right in Docklands virtually up against the Dock Wall so told me much background.

I would love to, I need to find some good sources of info on the North Frodingham light railway but so far I've found nothing!
Hope you get to Thorngumbald! Would love to hear more about the origins of the village and its name.
well said NRG
Jamie, bloody good content Sir! I am kicking my channel up the rear and wil be exploring all manner of places in Yorkshire! All of your videos are golden! Thanks! look forward to more!
You are amazing and 10thousand is just step 1
So glad you're doing some videos on the Harrying of the North.

Looking forward to everything you have in the pipeline and congratulations on 10k and thanks for your continued hard work.
Yeah, it's a huge thing, a Norman genocide of northerners. Had a massive impact for centuries in many places!
Congratulations! Very happy to see your subscribers grow and grow - you deserve it. Excellent content 😊

I moved to Hull in 2010 for uni and never left I'm so glad I discovered this channel as I have learned so much about my adopted home tow
Love the channel, I grew up on orchard Park and when I was a kid where tesco us on hall road there was old fairground stuff in the field.also off danepark Road there was grave stones in the fields
I also grew up on orchard park we lived in Hardane I remember finding grave stones as well In the fields often wondered where they came from?
Well done and thank you for your docs, really great. Not sure why but no ones mentioned your shirt and tie combo.....stunning!
Cheers! One of my favourite shirts, and certainly one of my favourite ties!
Hi! Thanks for doing these videos! It's so good to learn about the old city and the surrounding areas. When you do your video on Wilberforce I can thoroughly recommend William Hagues biography. Looking forward to more!! 😊
I can't watch Neil Oliver without thinking of him living under a bridge with an invisible friend
Very very glad you have reached 10k followers - keep up the excellent work - really looking forward to your new stuff

1. You egregiously underrate the affinity the camera has for you. Seriously. You do.

Congratulations, Jim! I have really enjoyed your channel as it keeps me happily reminded of my youth in Hull & Cottingham. Alas, I now live 10,500 Km away & my last holiday in the East Riding was in 2018. Subsequent global events & current exorbitant travel costs has put an end to any travels to your neck of woods for the foreseeable future. Keep up the excellent work! I look forward to your forthcoming videos.
Enjoyed that 😊
A work colleague at work recommended you about November time last year, and the docks were my first series. Unfortunately you've done so many I've been tapping on others at the same time then forgetting where I was so I've no decided to stop messing around and stay with one series at a time.
But I may have just recently watched the Sculcoates video though oooops
But congratulations for the 10k subs and many more to come
Welcome to the channel, and don't worry, even at a rate of two a month, you'll soon catch up!
Nice one - I’ve really enjoyed your videos so far, keep them coming! PS Lol at Neil Oliver …😁
Well done on reaching the 10000 milestone Jamie, I’m looking forward to your video ‘roadmap’ I hope I can make one of your Rooted in Hull talks in the future 😊
Keep an eye on my Facebook and Twitter feeds, I always update those when I get the dates for any public talks!
Doesn’t sound much like a holiday in Wales!! But sounds great - well done on the 10k subscribers, and I look forward to seeing what you do next :-)
I'm sure we'll find some time to relax. I hope...
Grats on the 10k subs bud. Its well earned!
Besides, you do history videos in areas I still have a very strong attachment to. I used to live in the area around Hull not once but twice.
I used to call Hull "home" once upon a time. :)
Still. your achevmment is very well earned!. I hope you get lots more subs. you've more then earned it :)
Brilliant videos. Learnt so much about local history from them. Massive fan of your collection of shirts :)
I really, really like paisley. I'm actually thinking about doing a video on the history of the pattern because it's actually very very old and interesting!
Congratulations reaching 10k and anyone who mentions Sir Rob Hubbard deserves a thumb! Hope you went to the city hall concert. I guess a history of British chip music would be too recent and niche ;) like others I’d love an episode on Hull Fair or a piece on the blitz - location of AA guns in the city, the lost buildings and the fake port of hull. Keep up the fab work.
Oh man, now you've done it... the history of British C64 music... I'm going to be stirring that idea round now to see what I can do with it!
Also, check my back catalogue of videos - I've already done an episode on the Decoy Docks!
Really enjoy your videos - and that's coming from a hardcore Yellowbelly! Feel free to wander south of the Humber anytime... there's some fascinating old Railways in Grimsby and Immingham waiting to be explored..!!
Definitely on the cards, I have to say - I may well be visiting the Scunthorpe Steel works railway at some point this year!
Wonderful! I'm particularly looking forward to the De la Pole family and thier red brickwork works.. Works for me! Also Beverley should be a hoot, as I was born and raised there, and as you say it's got more than its share of history. Nice one Jamie! 🌟👍
congratulations! I've really enjoyed following your Hull history series so far and it's been great showing my 5 year old how the area used to look. The passion you have for the subject is honestly infectious
Congratulations on 10k Jim thoroughly enjoyed the the half hour. Looking forward to seeing the up and coming videos.
Well done hull history nerd. Saw you the other day down keldgate in Cottingham. Good stuff mate. Brian
Best Vlog ending ever. Keep up the videos, they're amazing, and don't deprecate yourself, you're more than good enough to be on TV, far more personable and interesting than a lot of History people on TV who can be very dry and know how to suck the life out of a subject (and yes, some of them are clearly madder than a box of frogs).
your an inspiration congrats on the 10k subies
Look forward to your future videos ❤
Also, what about a video concerning the history of aviation / airfields / flying clubs around the East Riding? Leconfield, Paul, Kirmington et al.
I'm afraid military history isn't really my thing, so it's unlikely I will ever look into those subjects I'm afraid!
Well done on 10k subscribers I've learnt so much about the city I grew up in also added to what I already knew put more meat on the bone's as they say.Also awakened my interest in old railways as a side note I got to make a delivery to South cave station the other day very interesting the owner let me have a look at the old platform even though it's covered over you can still see the platform stones were the platform edge was and got a look at the old goods yard as well . Keep up the good work look forward to seeing more
Your videos are always interesting, but especially interested in your forthcoming videos on Edward Is castles in Wales. Have written very recently on this topic and their builders who were in main part from Savoy (now Switzerland/ France/ Italy) but there’s also a local link for you … that is the diggers of the ditches and in particular the canalisation of the River Clwyd at Rhuddlan. Edward was especially skilled at getting the right men for the job, and men came from the Fens but also Lincs and New Holland. If you’re interested in more recommend my book Welsh Castle Builders and or messaging. Enjoy your trip and look forward to more videos.
I've been a huge admirer of Master James of St John's castle designs in Wales for decades, ever since I first visited them in my early 20s. I'm very much looking forward to making that video! I'll have a look for the book, it sounds right up my alley!
Amazing story … we found his hometown … and the tiny villages the workers came from in Savoy.
Good for you! I think the first video that popped up in my feed was the one about fish dock and I swiftly caught up with all the other ones and here I am...lots to look forward to by the sound of it
Shame I'm no longer based in Hull to come to some of the talks, maybe if I'm visiting I might be lucky! Have you thought about doing a video on the old pubs of Hull?
It's certainly an idea on my radar, that's for sure!
Thanks ever so much for taking the time to put together these fascinating videos and the talks you give. I've yet to see a bad one, and I know many people that share the same opinion, and look forward to the future ones. A quick question, have you considered doing an episode on the origin of Hull Street names?
I haven't considered that, but it certainly something to add to my very long list of videos to make!
Congratulations Jamie on your 10,000 milestone, and a fair reflection on the quality of your videos. Having walked the course of the infilled Foredyke Stream from North Bridge, now a wonderful green corridor, can't wait to watch the upcoming episode!
Great video Jamie. Nice to hear you filling in the gaps in what we’ve wondered and also your future plans 👍🏼😊. Surprised me when you read my question out. I forgot that I’d asked that one a while ago. I agree, Neil Oliver is a bit of a **** 👍🏼😁
That sudden lockdown Rasputin beard and appearing as a regular on Geebeebies was one thing, and then he started opening his mouth and discovered a whole new plateau of WTF.
@@hullhistorynerd Absolutely 👍🏼. Your description of Mr. Oliver was spot on 😆. I remember you being on with Rob Bell, because I exclaimed to my wife, “LOOK!! IT’S HULL HISTORY NERD!!” 😁😁
@@NickB_Yorkshire Keep your eyes peeled on the Yesterday channel on railway related programmes over the next two or three months...
@@hullhistorynerd Will do. The railways around here especially fascinate me. One of my first ‘projects’ last year when I bought a drone was to fly across the field, over & around one of the Drewton air shafts just outside Little Weighton 😉
@@NickB_Yorkshire Oh awesome! I wish I'd had my drone for the railways of Hull series. That's one of the reasons I considered remaking those videos, knowing what I know now about filming, being more relaxed as a presenter, and having a drone, I could really make them look so much better. But I do have future plans in that area that don't involve remaking old videos...
More video on Humber Keels and Humber Super Sloops
I have been on board the Humber Sloop Spyder T when it visited Bradwell in Essex, it dwarfed the Thames Barges...
It's certainly a possibility, I got a few books on them in that collection from Shane!
Always a pleasure to watch your latest piece Jim. Particular pleasure learning of your plans and very best wishes for the future.
Hey Hull History Nerd another great video 👍 looking forward to seeing the stuff you've got lined up . As a suggestion how about some video's on Historical companies that originated in Hull ?? I'm thinking companies like Priestmans , Rank Hovis , Croda , Dunstons , Arco ?? There's maybe something in it worth doing. 👍
I've already been thinking about doing a series of videos like that,; local firms like Jacksons and the Hull Savings Bank left us with some beautiful buildings that we all have in our neighbourhoods and likely haven't really thought much about. Not a stretch to look into other companies that have their roots here in Hull!
Yay ☺️ excellent 👍
Congratulations on your 10,000. My favorites are your railways, docks and WW2 until your video I didn't know there was a dummy Hull. Would love to see you do Yorkshires war factories and airfields of WW2, lost industry of Yorkshire and canals of Yorkshire.
Probably won't be touching the airfields as military history isn't really my thing, but I've got my eye on doing a lost canal video this year...
Well done 👍
Congratulations on the subscriber milestone. I've found your videos very fascinating. Love learning about the local area and its history. Can't wait for future videos
Did life get in the way of these plans? will you be returning to a more regular production timetable? Hope you're OK, I love your videos.
Burnout got in the way I'm afraid! I think I work best without the crushing weight of a hard schedule! Video on William Wilberforce is going to be ready in the next couple of weeks, and from there on hopefully I should be getting more regular again!
Congratulations on a great milestone. Well deserved. Excited to see the future content. I grew up playing down the tenfoots around Welwyn Park Ave. Loads of old air raid shelters were still present in many people's back gardens. Would love if you could squeeze something about this area into one of your videos.
I'm looking forward to when ya do King George Dock. I've been working on the docks now for years and always wondered what the history was about it. :)
Me too, I've been sitting on footage for this episode from my guided tour around the place at the start of 2020!
@@hullhistorynerd I'm wondering if that was when the tourist train would use the old lines down near Elizabeth dock entrance. I remember a small tourist train coming down from that end one time years ago. Haven't seem it in a long time.
Looking forward to it 😁. Ever thought about doing an episode on disasters through history in hull natural or otherwise if there was any 🤔
Such a video would basically be a string of trawler tragedies, unfortunately, with many memories disturbed that perhaps should be left to lie.
@@hullhistorynerd dont forget that minor earthquake we had a few years back.. my bed shook.. hang on.. was that an earthquake or was i just turning over in bed
Yeah never thought of that RIP. I remember the minor quake we had the dog started barking about 30sec before it hit.
@@bazza5699 I remember waking up and thinking there was just a really big lorry going past the house before immediately going back to sleep. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to have actually been an earthquake!
Right now I'm feeling very fortunate that that's about as bad as British earthquakes get, all things considered.
@@hullhistorynerd I woke up and my first thought (don't laugh) was poltergeist moving the bed. so I did what any self-respecting male who is concerned by paranormal activity manifesting itself would do.. that's right, I pulled the duvet up over my head and lay there hoping it would go away... thank l god the duvet was of a decent tog level.. no apparition is getting through that in a hurry.
When in Hull in 2018 I bought a book from the much-reduced Browns Bookshop in George Street. The History of Hull Cinemas. I might have asked you previously if you had an interest in doing such a video...
Congrat's on 10K from one of your first ones , HnB HnB lol , this vlog and your plans are OH YES !!!! still a few bits to cover in your area , Zep wrecks in Hull , WW2 aircraft listening dishes ,Leven history etc'etc but they will be amazing as usual , here's to the next 100K
I know the Subscriber milestone scripts and the comment section too is usually a lot of regurgitated dribble about gratitude but you really do deserve each and every subscriber and I just wish there was more than one of you so we could have more HHN!
Also, I know the opportunity does not present itself often, what with the subject matter usually being the suffering of the working classes and all, but you really could rely a lot more on your wit and humour in general to carry videos! This was great!
Well done 10.000 subscribers is well deserved.
I honestly enjoy your videos, always look forward watching them.
Neil is a Stirling man as am I, see him a lot round town a really nice guy. He does raise some very though provoking material.
Again Well done 👏
