BRADFORD
This is a place I cannot believe i've not been too yet to make any videos. It is only 20 minutes away from where I live, and it has everything that interests me from cheap property to incredible industrial history.
Bradford was once the wool capital of the world, and it is hard to imagine just how wealthy and prosperous this place was. A few signs remain and that is the purpose of this video, to explore the remants of its former glory.
This was a really fun video to make. I hope you enjoy.
Below is the full poem by C Richard Miles
Black Dyke Mill Chimneys
Tall, wagging, admonishing fingers, the smokeless mill-chimneys still stand
At rest, wearisome work ended, like sentinels guarding the ground,
Surveying and sighing in chorus over once-productive, industrial land
On Queensbury’s exalted height. You can still hear the Black Dyke Band
But marvel that their namesake owners, where discount warehouses gather round
Tall, wagging, admonishing fingers, the smokeless mill-chimneys still stand.
Victorian values are now redundant as modern-day practice steers the hand
To work in production-line factories while property developers are found
Surveying and sighing in chorus over once-productive, industrial land.
Once in a fit of enterprise, the forward-looking town planners planned
To erect in cheerless concrete twenty-storey tower blocks which sound
Tall. Wagging, admonishing fingers, the smokeless mill-chimneys still stand
Unsurrounded, since building tall, soulless structures seems to be banned
And no rival, resplendent, replacement monarchs are waiting to be crowned
Surveying and sighing in chorus over once-productive, industrial land.
So still these monuments can attract our vision and continue to command,
Overlooking the town, now Dame Fortune has refused and frowned,
Tall, wagging, admonishing fingers, the smokeless mill-chimneys still stand
Surveying and sighing in chorus over once-productive, industrial land.
Until Next Time,
W.T

Ladies get you a man that talks about you the way wandering turnip talks about chimneys
Congrats on 100k mate
Bloke is just good vibes, here's to the next 100k
Did not expect to see a comment from you on here @reubs! Hope the Lego island series is still in the backlog
Well, in Turnip's defense, chimneys might be easier to understand sometimes....fewer complications.😜
Especially when he said: "It's got a wonderful bottom as well."
@@christinerobin386 he prefers them round, or with an ornate bottom. Chimneys that is.
I've always said that no matter how "uninteresting" a topic is, listening to someone who's passionate and enthusiastic talk about it will always make it much more interesting. Thank you for making a video about Bradford that isn't just looking for the unpleasant aspects. And congrats on hitting 100k! Absolutely well deserved.
I really appreciate that mate thanks 😃
There is no such thing as a uninteresting subject. There is only an uninterested person.

Look at the bottom on that, love it, best comment ever about a chimney. Fred Dibnah would be proud
I also thought that .Base would have been better choice of words but less comical !
Whenever you show these enormous chimneys, I think about the people who built them, and how much courage it would take to do work like that, especially long before there were so many safety measures required. The chimneys aren't just monuments to the businesses that used them, they are monuments to the men who built them.
thanks Farage Brexit campaign made brook and put in recession and put everything up buying everything Europe
Exactly, some mills could cost up to £10k to make (at the time) the chimneys had a vital role in the mill, if the chimneys failed it could spark disaster
Working in the mill wasn't ideal, i worked with a lady who's great grandmother was deaf because she worked in the mills for decades and if you wanted to talk privately you had to cover your mouth as she could lip read very well haha
My Grandad in Clitheroe pre WW1 had a bet to climb a chimney ( I think the cement works) it was the tallest. He did and won the bet. To prove it was him he had to wave his boater hat so his friends could see him. Sadly so could everyone else and his very religious aunt demanded he handed over the money to the church. He was a character my Grandad. James Dewhurst
Lovely story about you Grandad 😄
Fred Dibnah did it for ten Bob 50p to you youngsters.

I now commute 90 minutes to work in Bradford, having visited clients there for several years. Being a fan of Victorian industrial architecture, I really love the towns and villages of West Yorkshire. But there is something very special about Bradford.

thanks Farage Brexit campaign made brook and put in recession and put everything up buying everything Europe
Great Britain is not great anymore. Bradford past history and its wealth are results of British imperialism in foreign countries, pillaging the local wealth & bringing them to England. Where do you think the raw materials like cotton comes from?
Bless Fred,he knew chimneys.
A visit to Bradford in the 1960s was a real treat for me as a child.The elegant architecture, upmarket department stores,trolley buses and the wonderful Alhambra theatre with first class entertainment. Happy days
Before it was demographically flooded, sigh, it is ever thus.
As a Bradfordian, Thank-you and well done on 100k
Hi from Paris
Your reportage captures the poetry lying within industriel relics
Nice
Bravo

"I don't want to get all philosophical about chimneys..." a sentence opener I never thought could exist.
Genuinely, finding your channel has raised awareness of the realities of towns and streets, but also that there's more to chimneys than just bricks.
“Aren’t Chimney’s BRILLIANT!!!” Sorry couldn’t resist. 😂 love it!

It's like the character came to life 😅
Was thinking that way back
@@JungleJeffarnoldsame!
As a bradfordian it's so nice seeing a positive video of our great city, i see so many videos on the negatives of bradford this makes a refreshing change. Bradford has it's problems but it also has wonderful historical stone architecture and welcoming friendly people its not perfect but its also not as bad as people make it out to be. Congratulations on hitting 100 k subs great achievement 👏
Yeah, the local paper comment section, particularly, is full of these naysayers (most of whom don't even live here).
Then you'd know that the city is being done up as we speak.
@BradfordRealI'm not sure you can say the city is on its arse when there is multiple millions of pounds of ongoing investment right now. Yes, it's going through change and yes it's disruptive but Bradford has way more to offer today than it did 10 years ago and will have even more to offer in the very near future. A very misrepresented city.
Be careful not to attract too much attention or you could Kiss that Victoria architecture goodbye. Property developpers love nothing more than bulldozing old historical buildings to build crappy blocks of "luxury" flats

This brought back memories of when i was 10 me and my dad spent a day riding round Blackburn finding old mills, for my school project. There were so many. That was the mid 70's so i bet there a lot less now.
I grew up in Sheffield & the only time I've ever been to Bradford was on a school trip in the late 80's to see the huge IMAX cinema. It was amazing. Biggest screen I've ever seen
P.S - & talking about history. I do believe that my ancestors came to Bradford to work in the mills from somewhere like Suffolk (I think??) But anyway. They left their rural lives, worked as weavers & mill workers & then when the textile industry started to decline they moved to the Sheffield area to become minors & steel workers. I find this industrial history of my family really fascinating so I enjoy it when you talk about it x
I'm from Rotherham and went on a art college trip to Bradford in the late 80's to visit the National Media Museum then the now closed colour museum which was set up by the dyers society. It was a brilliant day out.
"A lovely bit of chimney" Yorkshire legend
That tennis court was epic. Bradford is stunningly beautiful and horrifying in equal measure.
"look at the bottom on that" I've said that a few times but not looking at chimneys. 😂😂 keep up the good work pal
Not only can you call it work, but this just proves you dont have to exploit people or yourself to make great video content that pays. Happy to see creators like this making money! Congrats🎉

I think as soon as you’ve lived somewhere for a long time rough or not, you call it home. I love Bradford from the bottom of my heart ♥️
You absolutely deserve 100k David. Your channel is a highlight on my subs list. Even my old mum knows your Wandering Turnip name.
Keep going, it’s a success! 🎉
My goodness, time flies when we're all having fun and we're at 100k! Been here since it was only 4 digits!
@10:17 Drummond Mill, located on Lumb Lane in Bradford, was a significant industrial complex built in 1885 for James Drummond & Son. Designed by architects Henry Francis Lockwood and William Mawson, the mill originally contained a spinning mill, a warehouse, a spinning shed, and an engine house. The mill ceased production in 2001 and was later used for storage and other purposes. Tragically, the mill was destroyed by a fire on January 28, 2016, leading to its demolition later that year. The site remains available for redevelopment
Wow, still in production until the millemium?!
Thank you such interesting info
Salts Mill is a lovely place to visit. David Hockney’s exhibition was great to see. I lived in Bradford for a while. Kashmir curry house makes my favourite curry in the world. Great video. Thank you.
You're thinking of Manningham
I'm a Bristolian but lived and worked in Bradford in the late sixties and early seventies. I actually liked Bradford a lot.
It was a friendly place, and the surrounding countryside was quite spectacular.

Congrats on the 100k subs, mate! Yorkshire has won my heart over many other places I've lived in the UK. What attracted me to this part of the country was its industrial villages, heritage, nature, and the warmth of its people. I've thoroughly enjoyed the architecture of Bradford, Hebden Bridge, Todmorden, Halifax, Leeds, Huddersfield, and its neighbour, Manchester (though not WY).
I'm looking forward to seeing how Bradford will transform as it nears the City of Culture award next year. It could become a powerhouse again if done right.
Thanks so much for your work. Keep flying the flag of the Northern Soul and all the best.
Hi turnip , where you jumped over the wall was Drummond mill , my birthplace Bradford and used to work in the wool trade before it died. I just started my own channel inspired by others including you.
Thank you Neil
Oh ace thanks for that. I’ll check out your channel 👍👍
Thank you really appreciate it just 3 weeks in but learning as I go
Came here to say this - burned down in 2016, just months after I visited the building to meet the company who were renting it as a warehouse. Stacked to the rafters with products sold on Amazon and eBay and sadly destroyed overnight. It was genuinely an impressive imposing building and such a shame it met its end that way. I gather the roof space was also rented out as a dance / film studio. I'm amazed it hasn't been turned into housing already. Glad they managed to save and retain the chimney!
You must get beyond the door on that chimney!
Congratulations David, myself and the other half love your channel, been watching since the first one. 😊
Love the drone chimney footage.
PS Congratulations on the 100K! ;-)
Beautiful seeing Shipley. My grandmother’s family immigrated to South Africa in the 1910s, all Whittaker’s and Murgatroyd’s - not sure what they were leaving behind. Will definitely be making a trip this summer! Thanks for the video
Proper Yorkshire names! We have a rich cultural heritage and plenty of nature to see. I hope you enjoy your time here.
Absolutely brilliant, i'm Bradford born and bred.
The "Beast" called Lister’s Pride, was built for the Manningham works of Lister & Co. The architects of the chimney, along with the vast mill it served, were the Bradford firm of Andrews & Pepper. The design was based on the Campanile in Venice.
Construction took two years. The completed chimney was 249 feet high and, externally, 22 feet square at the base. The internal width was 10-11 feet. The design is notable for the presence of two elaborate cornices, one at 190 feet and one at the top.
A story concerns a lunch party held at the top of the shaft on the day the chimney was officially completed. This sounds highly improbable but was reported in the Bradford Observer (19 November 1873). A group consisting of: Samuel Cunliffe Lister, Messrs. Andrews & Pepper, William Beanland and Francis Lepper (Lister’s project manager and agent) ascended. At the top a bottle of champagne was broken as a baptismal ritual. After this speeches were given and a ‘champagne luncheon’ served.
There are occasions when it is hard not to admire the energy of the Victorians.
I like your positive enthusiasm in your videos. It’s so much more inspiring than slating places. You’re inspiring me for my channel as I get started. Well done on your 100k, well deserved! 🎉
As a distance… very distant (USA) admirer of your channel, it’s an absolute pleasure to finally reach out to you. Love your channel because you genuinely find wonder in everything - a rare trait these days. I truly look forward to your content no matter the subject. If you’re continuing the “Made In England” series, can you present a feature on canals? It’s fascinating that you live near a canal and have not mentioned the importance of canals regarding mill, iron/steel and lumber transport to and from the plants. If the subject matter is of importance to you and other 100k subscribers (I personally think it is), it’ll great to learn the history regarding the planning, construction and craftsmanship required to enable water in the advancement industry and wealth.
It’s funny you should mention canals. I was chatting to my friend recently who was telling me how they dug them with pick mattocks. I was so intrigued I went out and bought my own and dug me a ditch 😂
There will be a video coming soon on this very subject 👍
Thanks so much for watching my stuff. Very cool that I’ve ended up in the USA 😃
WOW…can’t wait for the episode. Thanks for listening. Cheers.

Great video on our industrial heritage, lets have some more before it is all lost, really enjoyed that, well done.
I'm not ashamed to say I once cried at the demolition of a local chimney, it was always the first thing I saw on a return journey home. 😢👍
hi from washington dc. as an appreciator of old things, i am absolutely loving these videos! need more like this
I was born in Bradford and lived there until I was 30. The architecture really is something else, and being so close to the wonderful countryside made it a great place to grow up. Sadly like many towns and cities across the North it's fallen victim to massive underfunding. I miss home and get back whenever I can, thanks for reminding me of the beauty of my home city. First time viewer, now also a subscriber.
Heres how it works.
talent goes to leeds- > only idiots left in bradford > idiots don’t do big business > government stops caring about bradford.
Fred Dibnah would make a killing in Bradford! Awesome video Turnip!
Wonderful video...what great heritage we have...these chimneys played an important part of our history...brilliant...loved it.
you do something that the big TV studios don't do. the informal nature of your documentaries makes the experience feel like you're hanging around with your friend, visiting cool/interesting places (or even mundane places made interesting by you and your buddies passion for life and all the things there are to explore in it) and it comes off as positive and laid back. now I want to get out there myself and do some exploring. thank you for the great content and all the best for the future of your channel.
Don’t go to bradford unless you are pakistani with a spiky hairstyle and three eyebrow slits
Bradford is an upcoming city a hidden gem 💎, love the vibes and hospitality as well as the atmosphere, cheap living.
Hidden Pakistan?
@@Future-Classic-Comicswhy are you all over the comments making negative comments on Pakistanis, you seem quite racist. How sad can you be.
@@aman8086 Is it racist to feel a demographic should mostly be the originating one? I feel if you go to South Africa and everyone is mostly mostly white the same way Australia should be native but isn't, or America should be native but isn't.
Would it be correct to go to Japan and 3 quarters of the population is Black, does that make me racists that each ethnicity should have the majoring majority of the population?
@@Future-Classic-Comics Firstly, the Uk is over 80% white so that is wildly incorrect, secondly certain places will always have communities, especially in areas where industrialisation happened and people came over to support with it and work in factories. Despite this Bradford still has a higher white population. Lastly you going around saying it’s Pakistan is not really going to change anything is it. People are sharing positive thoughts and comments on here and all you can think to do is be negative and sulk.
@@aman8086you’re literally pakistani lmao
This is a wonderful video celebrating your love of chimneys. Your final poetry reading brought me to tears. Good luck on your future journeys and congrats on the 100k subscribers.
A beautiful sweep of the chimneys!
So nice to see Bradord again after 10 years. Another great video.
Congrats on 100K
Yes indeed. It would be a culture shock for me to go up north.
Such a lovely lad; I admire the fact you try to respect all British culture and prop up the importance of Britain's work culture via the old chimneys. Also liked the video you made on the pub co-op: excellent stuff! Good luck to you sweetie, I hope you do well in life x
This is Pakistani culture bruhh
" a lovely bit of chimney ,that." priceless !
cracking video! I live at Victoria Mills too, so thanks for covering it. There are some epic chimneys in Skipton. The town is well worth a video in itself.
I was at Armley Mill Wool Festival the other week and thought of you when I saw the chimney there, definitley something special about old chimneys
I love your sense of wonder for otherwise mundane things
Great to see Salts Mill in your vlog as i live opposite and see it every day but take it so much for granted.part of the mill as you showed is David Hockneys artwork,shops and restaurants,the other side of the Leeds Liverpool canal is all apartments. New subscriber here.👍🏻
Your enthusiasm is infectious. I hang onto every word in your videos. Educating me on things ive had no interest in. Congrats on 100k 🎉
Top man, top content. All the best for the next year.
Most mills in Bradford were silk factories. . Lister Mill Patent St was the largest silk factory in the world. It is located in the Manningham district of Bradford, my grandmother was born Heidelburg Road, and worked at Listers Mill Sir Titus Salt, 1st Baronet was a manufacturer, politician and philanthropist in Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, England, who is best known for having built Salt's Mill, a large textile mill, together with the attached village of Saltaire, West Yorkshire , I was born in Shipley and lived George Street, Did you visit SALT beer factory the old bus station at top of Albert Road ?
It was mostly woollen mills?
My family owned that mill, another side sold them silk waste to make house hold fabrics; I still have some as good as they were in the 1920s
i only mentioned to my missus the other night that i should give you a tour round Bradford and your face pop's up with a Video of it!!!! That's MAD!!!
Love your vids... i'll be watching with interest at this one....
Great video. I was brought up in a northern town surrounded by working chimneys, and often wondered what went on at the base of them. My wish was granted one night when I was looking after a generator powering a boiler house. The old boilerman gave me a guided tour, showing me the ducting from the back of four boilers with a large in line fan drawing the hot air and smoke up the chimney. I agree about the square fancy ones. There's one in Darwen, lancs. Ornate but somehow sterile.
Salts Mill has a lot of history! Great vid
100k congratulations 🎉 live in Bradford, the centre and then areas around to the boarders are so varied in their culture, demographic, property, business and so much more. It’s the city of culture atm and they are doing a lot to get ready for that
They're amazing feats of engineering, good to see them in more detail. Thanks!
Very interesting video. It's nice to see someone talking about British cities, but in a positive way.
Nice one lad 🎉 I have been waiting ✋️ for this episode for so long 👍 moved away in 2006 , it really is as rough and dangerous as people say ! Remember to keep moving and don't stare at people. 😊😊😊
Shut up!
The one with the ‘pond’ was Drummond Mill. Had a huge fire in 2016 I think. Sadly like a lot of mills in Bradford find themselves catching fire.
Strange that.
Brilliant you 👏 are inspirational. Be proud of your city and its heritage
Yet again another great video.... excellent, well done, you do a fantastic job... don't think we've missed any of the videos ❤ x

You should look into Undercliffe cemetery. The mill owners have their tombs there. They are even more ornate. Cartright was the big one
Wonderful. Love your enthusiasm in these depressing times.
Really cool video, i don't live too far from Bradford and its something that i've overlooked - next time i'm there i will be looking out for all those chimneys - some really interesting history on the place - thanks for sharing

I'll always remember the massive chimneys billowing out smoke from the Kodak factory growing up in Harrow, iconic factory which unfortunately has now been knocked down to make way for a massive development which is crippling already stretched local infrastructure.

Best yet! Drone footage is an amazing addition that takes it to another level. I'm 69 and originally from Heywood when it was in Lancashire. I can remember being held up on the front room window ledge and learning to count using the mill chimneys I could see, which in those days was about 30. Sadly, no longer. Perhaps a couple left standing. BTW. I think they used to call the mill pond a "lodge", at least in the cotton mills on this side of the Pennines
