A generous little beach. Mudlarking and beachcombing adventure.

- I went back to the beach below a weir, where I filmed my 1st mudlarking video, (plus several others); after well over a year of being blocked from visiting it by flood mitigation engineering works.
I had fun being back there. I hope the resulting video is fun to watch too.

Thank you for keeping me sane over the past 16 months. You, Nicola and Si have brought some sense of normalcy to this chaotic world for me during this pandemic and I will be forever grateful to you three. Once again, THANK YOU😌
Thanks Alicia, making videos has been a part of keeping me sane too. 🙂
Hip,Hip,Hurray, picking up the small bits of plastic and trash that you do makes you a true outdoors man.Thankyou so much for your mindfulness.
Thanks Tom. Just doing my bit (and subtly encouraging others to do likewise). 🙂
"is that..... BROCCOLI?" completely unexpected and cracked me up! Best find ever!
Tom I thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos and look forward to everyone many thank you’s!
Every time I hear your song I feel relaxed and like I am going for a gentle stroll.
Your high def. camera is wonderful. Makes me feel like I'm right there with you. I love the water, plants and rocks. Thanks a lot.
The metal piece you found is a leaf spring, I have an antique wheelchair approximately 1850s( I collect old equipment I am a quadriplegic)they are similar and provide suspension for whatever they are used with. Thank you for your time and picking up garbage along with interesting pieces. I can no longer do this so watching your videos makes life interesting and enjoyable, be safe! PS I love the blue glass rod and gobie. Totally awesome!
Brilliant video, I love that blue rod, it would look look lovely as a pendant.
Oh and that view from your window is so beautiful x
Thanks Deborah. 🙂
Otters are my favorites. So handsome and naughty. That long metal piece that branches looks like it might be a good armature for a wading bird sculpture.
I very much appreciate you grabbing plastic when you see it and disposing of it properly 🥰
Thanks Linda, I'm glad to be doing my bit 🙂
Lovely walk with you, and thank you for including the sky. Beautiful!
I loved that underwater scene. Such indescribable beauty.
Thank you. I do try to take the spare camera out for such shots every time now; though don't always get it out of the bag, and in the water. Will try to include more underwater shots. 🙂
I did a double take then! Thought you said underwear😂
@@jakethedude100 🤭🙃
Yeah! Tom’s back!
Didn't know I'd disappeared 🙂 I'm just very slow at getting videos out; always here... trying to encourage myself to focus a bit and get the editing done.
I do like hearing the song of the blackbird on your video. The river looks nice and clean for the time being.thank you for the lovely ramble down the river.
Thank You, Tom. I so enjoy and am pleasantly surprised at how interesting things become, when explained by you, even the would be mundane. such as the broccoli that was cast off. I Love the tone and manner in which you speak, as well as all of the background sound effects along the way of mudlarking and beach combing. Your very voice is a Soothing Elixir, the only side effects is calmness and inspiration. : )
Thank you for another interesting, and calming video. Look forward to them on the weekends. A nice way to close out they week. Thank you, Tom. Cheers mate.🏴😊👍🇺🇸
Thanks Martin. 🙂
I'm old enough to remember those robust Perambulators which were built coach style , maybe this was the source of the ironmongery, always sort after by us kids as they were the best for building carts ;)
How much knotweed :( those wall of concrete and stone are going to be tested in future methinks.
Thanks for another wonderful walk Tom.
I instantly thought Silver Cross pram when Tom pulled up the suspension part too Paul.
Thanks Paul, and Paul, think a Silver Cross pram is a strong contender for what it was. And, yeah... the knotweed is becoming a big pain hereabouts, it probably is going to damage those walls in a few years.
Another awesome video, with bird song and the running water, plus the finds are great. Thank you for sharing and caring 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍❤️❤️
Thanks Chris. 🙂
I really enjoyed this video. I still watch them late at night, tucked up in bed and relaxing 🙂
Thanks! Tom beautiful outing 🙏🏻👍❤️
Thanks Alma, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Thanks Tom, we enjoyed the lark and wonderful scenery. Thanks again👍⭐️👍
Thanks Julie and Mark. 🙂
Loved the video. Gratefull of the reminders you send to people about picking up trash.
Thanks Juliane. I'm glad to do my bit, and subtly remind people of the bits that they might be able to do. 🙂
The rarely sighted and less often documented Asian River Broccoli. You lucky lucky man! 😁
I think that long piece of metal might have been the suspension of something like a Silver Cross pram. Smashing video as always. Thank you.
I was thinking it was too light for for any vehicle other than a pram, I agree!
Thanks, I think you could well be right. A leaf suspension off a carriage could be another possibility, but the strong probability is pram suspension. 🙂
Classic Tom Beach Mudlarking video. Count me in!
Thanks Leif 🙂
Great video Tom. Lovely to hear the birds singing and the water bubbling away. Looking forward to the next video.
nice walk :) always enjoy your company for 1/2 hour or so Tom :)
Thank you. Please forgive me if I've forgotten your name; is it Alicia? 🙂
Its Sue.. hehe.. :)
😀 I'm rubbish with names. Looked at your FB link, but wasn't convinced it was Alicia.
Glad to see that you're out walking the creeks. Two weeks rain will unearth plenty of finds when the water goes down.
Yes; there's been a dry period since this was filmed; and the water went down by about 18 inches; I've found a few interesting things. 🙂
Hello Tom… I’m so excited… thank you From Canada. I love all your videos and your eloquently stated observations and comments ❤️
Thank you, that's a lovely and kind comment. 🙂
Cheers from Canada ! What a lovely walk along the water...I have only in the last few months discovered Mudlarking videos and absolutely love them. There is certainly not much to find on the shores of the Great Lakes except fossils mostly. Thanks for showing a little piece of your beautiful country!
On those pottery bits you mentioned would make good pendants, a simple inexpensive spoon bail would be quick and easy to adhere in minutes.
Another beautiful and calming video. Thank you Tom!
Fun video Tom I do envy you, Kit & Caboodle, Northern Mudlarks, Si-Finds, Nicloa White, Docking Bay 51, Mudpies... I so wish I could be there with you all, I guess it's gonna have to be a bucket list of mine. have a great day, or evening Tom.
Thanks Charles, I'm glad you enjoyed it. And I hope you have a great day/evening too. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 The pleasures all mine Tom
Lovely outing & thank you as always for being a steward of the waterways 👍🏻
Thanks Laura, I'm glad you enjoyed it, and glad to be doing my bit to make things a bit better; or at least no worse. 🙂
Picture perfect day from my vantage point. Thanks again my friend.
Thanks Linda, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
I do love your small finds best. I’ve got several jars and bins of such things as well.
I might have to start only taking the small finds before long; the big ones do so take up space. 🙂 I've got several jars too.
Glass bottle stoppers and marbles are my favourite finds! I beachcomb on the east coast of Scotland , yesterday brought a seaworn cats eye marble, a different local beach today gave me the round top of a stopper, we call them stopper pennies. Always a thrill to find these two small items 😍
You have such beautiful places to beachcomb. And I'm glad to know I'm not alone in my love of finding small glass things; just wish I knew why I love them. 🙂
I make jewelry out of pottery, I also mudlark, although I’m in the USA. I would live to make something out of that brownish piece with the super cool pattern!!! I made multiple earrings from Willow pattern plates that I found!
Sooo cool, love those bottle stoppers 🥰 thanks for your adventure Tom 😊
Enjoyed the video walk today,
They didn't like green beans either lol
bricks, did you say bricks - where is Phil? Love the bottle stoppers. Great video
Ah! Another wonderful video...love the finds...thanks so much for sharing:)
Thanks Kathi, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Wonderful video as always Tom. I had a lovely walk with you and love your bottle stoppers as well as that beautiful blue glass rod. Thanks so much, take care till next time.
Thanks Debbie, I'm glad you liked it. 🙂
Your video is a pleasant escape from football which seems to be on tv tonight. I love all the broken bits of pottery, the glass bottle stoppers, the marble and the cobalt glass rod. I get excited when I find bits of old glass in the garden and the best find of all were some Victorian blue edging titles that had been put in the ground flat side up - now they have made a nice edge to my garden right side up. Such simple pleasures.
Thanks Denise. I didn't expect my video to do well in the first few hours, because of the football; but seems there isn't much overlap between my audience and football lovers 🙂 Sounds like your garden might still have some nice treasures lying hidden, hope you find some nice surprises there.
Love his calming voice
Thank you for your very relaxing video, the otter was a special sight. Great bottle stoppers I hope you find a bottle in your next video. Take care 👋🇦🇺🦘xxx
Thanks Siona, and yes... I found a lot of bottles in the next video, and took a few 🙂
Keep up the Wombling Tom ! we enjoy your videos
I was quite excited over your possible baby otter sighting. I forgot for a second that I was watching a video on CZcams 😅
Me too. 🙂 Hadn't seen an otter in over a decade; even though they're flourishing in the area; such secretive little twilight creatures.
Probably not interesting to many others, but I love the well worn rocks. I paint rocks, frogs are my specialty, they’re much easier to paint because they have no fur. And there are an abundance of rocks that are frog shaped. Happy hunting! ✌🏼❤️
I haven't tried painting on rocks yet, but I do very much enjoy coming across a painted rock out in the wild, and would like to give it a go sometime. So... I do pay attention to the rocks too, and have collected a few for such a project. 🙂
Wonderful to see another of your videos. Thx Tom.
Thanks Kathy, I'm glad you liked it. 🙂
Hi Tom, lovely to see the countryside and your commentary is always such a pleasure to listen to. I look forward to seeing your new videos each week. Thanks from all the way in Australia 🙋♀️
Thanks Suzanne, and I'm sorry I can't put out a video each week... I'm just too slow at editing, and have too many other projects on the go. Hopefully not too long before some of those projects come to fruition🙂
What a beautiful part of the country you live in.
Hi Tom, I'm a new subscriber. I really enjoy your videos. (I also watch Nicola, Si finds, Northern Mudlarks, Scottish Mudlarks, Kentish Mudlarks, and Adam). I live in the USA, Pennsylvania! Would love to see your crafting someday! (I did watch your forge video, and it kind of wigged me out when your gloves kept catching fire!). Careful! (Tat's the nurse in me). 😳 Peace from PA!
...I needed this today.... thank you for your work.... keep it up for us please....
Thanks James. No plans on stopping🙂
Thank you for the video ,the iron work looks like it was once a leaf spring off an old coach pramulator,kind regards Carl Fishburn co Durham
Hi Tom,
Another great video, Some fantastic, relaxing scenery. I am really pleased that you spotted a young Otter. This animal has suffered unnecessary persecution over the years. They must be breeding somewhere, but like you say they cover great distances...😀👍
Thanks Eddie. I was very excited to spot it; they were re-introduced about a decade ago on a neighbours land; they broke themselves out of the acclimatisation pen and have been thriving ever since... thriving, but very rarely seen. This is the first time I've seen one since they were being acclimatised. 🙂
Another interesting video. It's nice to see your pleasant river walks while outside my home the weather is roasting anyone who ventures out.
Thanks MaryAnne. I hope the weather there eases up a bit soon.
Was a soothing day with some nice finds.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Interesting video since you know the before & after of where your were going. I liked the bit of uranium glass and the tan pottery shard with the sort of starburst pattern. I wanted to pick up two or three of the well rounded river rocks to paint, either for the garden or to leave where a child might find it & think it a treasure. :) The little boy who used to live across the street (His family just moved away) left me a present of a rock he painted, mostly blue with a streak of red, in exchange for a "Mystery Bag " I gave him that had a few little toys & children's magazines. It is nestled now at the base of my mailbox pole.
What Tom haven't seen you in quite a while it's good to see you're doing okay mate well have a good day a better Tomorrow love your videos your friend and biggest fan
Thanks Mike, hope you're doing well too, and that all your days have something good about them. 🙂
Your camera work is the best, and the lead in music so inviting.
Thanks Dan, that's very kind of you. I think some of the Drone footage that Docking Bay 51 are able to get is a further step up, one I'm hoping to add to my repertoire when I can afford it. 🙂
Hi i am watching...was so looking forward to watching this with my sunday afternoon snacks
Thank you, I hope you enjoy it. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 you never dissapoint👍
Very kind of you to say. I do disappoint myself sometimes; usually when I fail to get a video out on schedule.
Btw watching from all the way in Trinidad W I
One of my brother's best friends is from Trinidad, he's one of the nicest people I've ever met. 🙂
Ah,good to see you again,Tom!
Thanks for the vid Tom very relaxing with the sound of the river! Love the glass bottle stoppers, I have a few Gartons ones and some daddies sauce ones! All the best.
Thanks Robbie. Haven't found a Daddies Sauce one yet. We get mostly Gartons, and a few Hoes Sauce ones here. 🙂
I love the blue glass piece, awesome video Tom❤️🇨🇦
Thanks Catherine. 🙂
This was a lovely video Tom. A lovely relaxing video to calm down my busy Sunday. I always love finding a bottle stopper too, there is just something about them which is magical. Looking forward to see if you make any jewellery
Thanks Adam. Hope the Duke of Edinburgh award is going well. 🙂
We love to find the same things - stoppers, marbles and beads :) Wondering if the blue glass rod could have been a stopper or maybe a thermometer piece? Wohoo 15 videos filmed !!!
Thanks Craig and Nicole 🙂. The general consensus on the thin glass rods I find is that they were chemical stirring rods, possibly used in Dye Works. The consensus on the thicker ones, is that they were for cottage industry bead making. 🙂
Hi, have a wonderful day. Yuma Az
Nicely done video. Love all the narration while you are walking and describing the paths and the walls, the histories, and the plans for the areas.
Love the finds and rain forecast timelines too.
Thanks D, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Very enjoyable walk by the river
Thanks Inge, I'm glad you liked it. 🙂
Something I’ve been meaning to ask for a while: I know it’s you playing guitar on your videos, but what is the source of the percussion? You? Another person? A rhythm machine?
Enjoyable video, as always, Tom. ATB
Hi Erin, the backing music was done by a friend of mine, he's a multi-instrumentalist, comedian, comic book writer and artist. And more importantly, a really nice person who was happy to help out, and tries to turn down regular royalty payments for his work on it. 🙂
I'm so glad someone commented on the music! Its not a Tom video without the sweet guitar playing! Please always use this , or something like it!
Wow an Otter, how awesome.
I've been hoping to spot one for years; but only ever been looking in the rivers... didn't even think of the possibilities of seeing one in the canal. Very dull brained of me, there's loads of fish in the canals. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 that was an awesome surprise I'm sure.
@@vickilynn5717 One of the best. Not sure if it's as awesome as the time an owl came down our chimney, and we got to rescue it... but it's certainly up there with catching a glimpse of a white deer a few years ago, and spotting a Kingfisher hunting. 🙂
Another lovely outing Tom! Look forward to your future videos
Thanks Richard, looking forward to putting out the next video; it was a site I wasn't expecting much from, and got a few nice surprises there. 🙂
Thanks for the walk, Tom. I enjoyed it. Smiles from Washington
Thanks Melanie. A smile from Hebden Bridge 🙂
Fue un paseo herrmoso, gracias
I have been listening to your voice trying to place why you sound familiar. Years ago on PBS, the USA's public broadcast system, has an ongoing special of Robert Frost poetry. I think your cadence and tone remind me of the performer who read Frosts' work. Or, I am totally off base and have made it all up in my head! 😊 I am old enough that my memory is unreliable at times. Very soothing though, so a compliment, even if I got it wrong.
Thank you for sharing 🦋
Thank you for watching, and commenting.🙂
Beautiful beach .
Hi Tom. Such a beautiful walk. You have otters there? Wow. I hope they like mystery carrots and now broccoli. haha. You and your viewers have a lovely week.
Thanks Teresa. Yes, otters were absent for a century, but have come back strong in the last decade as the rivers have been cleaned up 🙂. I hope you have a lovely week too.
Great video you found some good stuff and it was beautiful scenery.
Thanks Susan, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
I just found this channel and really enjoyed ! Stunning 😎🛫USA
I love rain. In Vienna it was far too dry the last weeks, and today we finally had a decent amount of rain. nice little finds and thanks for the lovely walk.
Thanks Barbara, I'm glad the dry spell there ended without heading into Drought. I love the rain too. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 there is drought already in the east of Austria, but we take what the sky offers us ;) btw I have a really sweet video of my cat relaxing and playing happily while watching your video 😁😁😺
@@viennesetreasuresmudlarkin5967 Oh, I love watching cats at play... don't much like hearing my voice though, so I'd watch such a video on silent 🙂 Are you going to upload it?
@@tomburleigh9261 I can upload it for you, but dont want to use clickbait. so I'll name it "for Tom" :) and it's also music parts, not only your voice ;)
@@viennesetreasuresmudlarkin5967 By all means use my name, if you think it will help bring people to your channel; you make some lovely videos. 🙂
I would love to gather up all those discarded bricks, They would be great for paths and redoing the driveway.
They certainly would be.... but, getting them out would be a bit difficult, perhaps by carrying them up to the top of the weir, and then hoisting them up onto the bridge. Phil Johnson of Let's Go With The Johnsons took a few of them on a recent video; carried them half a mile in a rucksack back to the cars. 🙂
So happy to be back on the beach with you! An alley gob, a lost treasure, but so happy that you were able to find another one. They have always been my favorite! Just love the sound of the rushing water in the background, so calming. Until next time, take care of yourself and those you cherish! ~Jen
I like just seeing your shadow or reflection in the water...lends an extra air of mystery to the hunt!👍🏻
Thank you. I'm glad that I can do this without showing my face 🙂
Portugal ....TOP*****
Hello Tom it’s good to see a video and of course hear your calming voice love all your finds I was just saying to myself when you picked up the pot that was broken you could put a nice wee plant in it and keep it on your windowsill and also I loved the start of your video we’re you could hear the beautiful sound of the birds singing bye for now take care 😊 ps hope this wasn’t to long of a comment 👋
Hi Caroline, thanks for your not too long comment. I think a plant is a very good option for the broken pot. 🙂
No carrots this time? I guess broccoli will do. Thanks for the video, it's always a great pleasure to watch them.
No carrots, but Broccoli and a few green beans. On a recent outing, I met a leek, 5 potatoes, 4 carrots and half a cabbage. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 You just made me LOL! Thanks!
Always excited when you upload a new video !! I live in Ontario Canada on Lake Superior we have otters here and I just love seeing them ❤️
Thanks Lori, hope you enjoy it. 🙂
What an idyllic place. That concrete and stone wall had to cost a pretty penny!
Yes, I think somewhere in the range of £20 to 30 million is being spent on flood resilience measures for the town as a whole, this is a small part of it, but probably accounts for a million or more. 🙂
You have such a beautiful and soothing scenario out your window. Thank you for another great video. 💟
Thank you. I do feel lucky to live here, with such a wonderful everchanging scene outside. 🙂
Love our walks! Wonderful as always!
Thanks Angela. 🙂
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙂
Poor Branwell - the scrubbed out sibling.....
Yes, he wasn't a bad writer, and he was instrumental in the formative years of his sisters... they wouldn't have been the writers they were without him. But he was a bit insufferable in his life... he kind of assumed that he was a total genius, and was overly boastful about his abilities. 🙂
This is probably somewhere we pass by in the car but never realised of the treasures to be found . Was interested in the little piece of printed pottery with Halifax on it . 😀 . We had a fabulous time with Phil and Caroline such lovely people. Hope we can catch up with you as well sometime. 😊😊😊
It's a good site, but quite well known, and visited by a few local mudlarkers so best times to visit it are soon after the river gets really high. I'd be happy to go with you sometime like that. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 that would be great or even the little patch at Hebden from last week would be good 👍😀.
@@lynnbean9536 That site is pretty overgrown at the moment; lots of nettles... which aren't too bad; but also lots of giant hogweed and thorn vines. Think the bottle diggers will be waiting for the Autumn die back too. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 yes your probably right. We will keep looking and waiting for somewhere different to try . Stay safe 😊❤
Do message me if you want to know any of the locations I've found. 🙂
I loved the iron piece - upright with its curves I saw it made into a sculpture of an egret using other pieces of old iron. Good to see you so happy about your finds!
Thanks Thea. Think I'll need to learn welding one day, I like that idea. 🙂
This was a lovely outing Tom! You found so many great items and yes the small ones are usually the best!
Looking forward to the next adventure and wonderful finds!
Take care, be safe and well too!
Hugs and love from E. Tennessee 😊
Thanks Tammy, I'm looking forward to the next video too, I found some great little things. 🙂
great video tom your video work is aways very well done ,, love you under water video looks great with that camera , m
Thanks Mick. Just need to get a drone now too, to improve my videos further. 🙂
@@tomburleigh9261 best drone to get right now is the dji mavic mini nice and small for carrying about , and flys very well and 2.7k down to 1080 resolution ,, great little drone .
@@ManchesterMudlarks Thanks Mick. It's one I'm saving up for, going to be a while but maybe before Christmas. 🙂
Love the view from your window. Enjoyed your rambling the rivers edge.
