top hats off 2 the navvies and Brunel's son

incredible effort balls, brains and backbone
Imagine what would happen if someone was not there to carry someone out on time. Because the person who was supposed to be doing that sort of thing since he was big enough when at work in another part time job in a "group home" instead of a "rooming house" or a "boarding house" or a "public house" in Australia instead was by surprise assaulted when trying to stop someone turining that group home into a common bawdy house instead. While not being able to find and full time job with benefits now today at age 18.
My dad and uncle’s and grandpa dug Kilburn and Willesden streets for years and I’m sure proud of them and all the navvis 🎉
The design for the shield was inspired by Marc Brunel's observation of the shipworm “teredo navalis”, which excretes digested wood to line the walls of its self-made tunnel. I made a pilgrimage to this famous tunnel when I lived in London. A lot of men died after ingesting the filthy water. It is amazing that this first sub-aqueous tunnel is still used today as part of the London tube.
This is actualy good 😊👍
Poor Paddy works on the railway.
A vert good representation.
So next time you go through the tunnel, remember it's flooded 6 times... Got it. 😂
Total White privilege.

Such a good quality video. Wish more of CZcams was like this for history content. Thank you for this .
Thankyou for your video 😢
She says that she couldn’t achieve anything as women were in those days about the woman in petticoats, but not a word about the people digging, why no women digging there ? Not a thought?
Mayor khan,how about a monument to commemorate the hard working brave navigators? They REALLY did build london.
Won`t happen,Mayor Khunt hates us whiteys.
What does this have to do with Brunel?
I watched it at school
Wonderful!
Those men's real trade name was Navigators for they navigated their ways forward to make tunnels and channels to make life much easier for us all, Thank you Irish Navigators
Hello, I saw your CZcams channel, you upload very nice videos on your channel. I have watched all the videos and noticed that all the videos are beautiful. But there is a problem with your channel! Your main problems are video views not coming in and your videos not reaching your target audience! Because, your channel does not have SEO! If you don't fix the problem, your video won't get video views organically because the CZcams algorithm works on keywords, but your channel doesn't have any keywords! These problems can be solved by SEO techniques. Every video will rank on CZcams if you do SEO perfectly. Doing SEO will help your video reach the right people and increase views. Remember, SEO is not a single task, it is multifaceted. If you want to do SEO on your channel, I can help. I am an SEO expert. Thank you, have a nice day

God, well it had to happen flooding God rest them
I know this is not the reaction you expect, but I am in tears thin king of the invisible work that props up modern life and the lives of human beings who lose their lives for it. God bless and keep you. And thanks
Good on you for having tears in your eyes for you feel and understand the hard, difficult and very dangerous works those navigators how to endure just to make a living
@@jamesbradshaw3389 She`s talking about how people still work in conditions like this in other countries now.
... A Thin King Would Nearly Be Invisible Though... Don't be Too Hard on Oneself MMmmmm 😂😂😂
While the fat king just watched on and did nothing
Long live the Irish❤. They mainly built the tunnel it appears. They did the grunt work. The lead guy doing the story did an exceptional job.
they definitely helped... but it wasn't 'mainly' them...
Those were the days.Long live the Paddies
@@ontheslide2339who were the main men just a matter of interest
@@vincenthigginbotham8729 about 25% of the 'navvies' were irish.. the vast majority of them were englishmen..
@@ontheslide2339that’s still a high percentage. I’ve got a lot of respect for the Irish, they came over and grafted, made their money and kept their streets clean. Can’t say the same about the people that replaced them.
Fabulous! What a year 👏🥳
Legend says that Mr. Brunel led to build the Thames tunnel all because of whiskey from old innisown.
That "volunteer" presenter showed up like a professional content creator in her own right

I'm currently reading a very old book on the life and achievements of Isambard Brunel. It covers the building of the Thames Tunnel & Marc Brunel at the beginning of the book. I thought I would check out if there were any videos on CZcams on the subject. Pleasantly surprised!
Brilliant video--well done!
Brilliant talk by a talented curator/presenter of History. So glad I came across this.
What an interesting story, thanks for sharing
It's all beautiful ,
Britain was in the forefront of technology.
Thanks for information
We tried building an underground tunnel here in NYS. Carrying the GVCanal in 1840's..It too caved in but it was never completed..The same canal, 30 miles North, that was abandoned in 1878, consisted of an aquaduct over the Genesee River in Rochester, NY. It was later filled in to hold a city street..Underneath the new street a subway was to be built but it too was never completed..Whether it turns into a tourist attraction remains to be seen..
Great info on TT! Thanks for sharing!
I will look forward to visiting the museum. Great video
amazing video, love it !
In tune with the trousers.
Excellent documentary, it shows me something I never think about before. What a miracle of engineering. Thank you
Brick it up as it was built by slaves and name it after Diane Abbot
The intended ramps for carriage/road traffic were never realised, pedestrians only being doomed to descend by staircases. This set the seal on its original usefulness.
The squalid repair temporally introduce because doll cephalometrically sparkle in a steadfast athlete. succinct, rigid danger
Yes. I agree completely.
