The Clifton Suspension Bridge; Old World in Bristol, England + Construction Photographs [1836-1864]

- Howdy ya’ll. Today we will look at one of the first Suspension Bridges in the world, The Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, England. This immense structure has remained largely the same throughout the last century and a half, and furthermore, the details regarding its construction, which completed in 1864, are only amplified by the handful of construction photographs I was able to locate. Today we will browse through these photographs in great detail.
The Clifton Suspension Bridge was first proposed, conceptually, in the 18th century, with the first blueprints being drawn up nearly a century later by Brunel. The structure, which crosses the Avon Gorge, utilizes some of the earliest techniques in Suspension Bridge design.
In the construction photographs, which show the bridge after the foundations on each side had been built, we see an Old World style structure which is unlike any which came before it. After Brunel’s passing the structure was inherited and completed by a group of new architects. Today we will dive into the history, while looking into the oldest images of the beautiful Clifton Suspension Bridge, raising a few questions along the way. The Clifton Suspension Bridge can still be visited today. Enjoy!

It’s a small world! I live right near this bridge. Another example of ancient foundations which were renovated in the more modern age
Same I live up the road in Gloucester
Are the rumors true?
Ancient foundations that were probably ancient giant trees. Inverted and used as part of the control system.
The photo of Brunel, they have to show you. Those are some pretty big chains.
You two should meet up and stand at each end of the bridge, sending healing vibrations of love into the earth. Taking back what's rightfully ours. God bless.
@@coolcat6103I like your name. Check out my comment below
@@slygal45 and according to the plaque Brunel was 24 years old when he designed that bridge all by himself. I don’t believe that. He’s just some bogus placeholder in a fabricated history.
The genius "young architect" Brunell?? in a tall cylinder hat, looks just like the usual suspects that popped up after 1800s to oversee the takeover and direct the clean-up works. This alone is a red light to begin with.
The pillars look very old and weathered. This thing is worthy of a research by someone who is local to that majestic bridge. Great video, Jared. Thank you.
Hilarious photos of Brunel around his "ship". Took them decades to try and release one of the chain breaks from its grounding😂
I can share some more interesting thoughts on the area. There is a cave system in the cliff below the bridge.. it is called giants cave I believe and was supposed to be home to a giant! They also recently discovered huge chambers built underneath the base of the towers. The whole area is interesting…just down the river we have some strange ‘geological’ features and giant slabs. The massive effort and cost of the bridge also doesn’t seem to make too much sense as it isn’t that much of a deator to go down the hill and cross the river at a much lower elevation
We Found A Cave In A Giant Limestone Mine czcams.com/video/MReRCvqD4wI/video.html there are so many interest loications ,
The caves below is where the Troll lives . . . and the bridge, built by Trolls, has been a troll . . . ahem . . . toll bridge ever since.
What is the composition of those arches? Are they made of bricks or concrete?
Really interesting vid, great photos, I live up the road, things I didn't know, thanks. Somehow though they managed to create ports, miles and of canals, with amazing lock systems, railway tunnels, railway bridges with turrets, the entire of Bath city with bath stone apparently really hard to work with ,huge railway engines in Swindon, I don't know how they did it but they did. We have lost so many skills, crafts and old knowledge.
Obviously in Britain there are so many old sites, 'prehistoric', 'viking', 'roman' and all the other kings and battles, they are literally everywhere so I don't disagree there is so much we don't know but we should never underestimate our fore fathers, they worked really hard.
We live in a different time, I have seen what people can do in a group , still amazes me.
There were all sorts of mines, windmills, the pretty villages, paddles on rivers all over the country too
And I also believe giants and magicians lived here too.
It is a strange place.
Is it Bristol Town centre which is built on top of concrete slabs and pillars? Is that where Paul Cook (hidden history) rowed through underneath on a canoe?
god bless anyone reading this we dont live on a spinning ball
No, we live on a rotating oblate spheroid
Flat earth for sure
I probably sound like a broken record, but construction of the past created beautiful, awesome structures, and we've replaced them with ugly, garish things that look like something that should fall apart. All the technology and materials and they construct the ugliest buildings, and everything else. The past was beautiful.. we missed out on a period of grace and beauty. Now we live with buildings that the architects should be embarrassed to claim.
Well stated
I did a quick search on the architect, Brunel (Isambard Kingdom Brunel). His story sounds so far-fetched. Apparently, he became a freemason in 1843. Blessings to all.
🎉 I am sure he was, wearing such a magnificent cylinder on top of his skull
I've been to London Bridge in Arizona. That's an unbelievable story also.
Agree
I think that London Bridge in Arizona was there and they dug it out. The construction photos show construction starting from the top and working down.
@@truthisanabsolute I think that’s absolutely correct no doubt!!!! they dug it out
Sad really, we look but we don't see. People should have been questioning many things but we just accepted what they told us. They write our history and never tell us the truth. It's more than oblivious that they were more skilled than us. We build crappy little building that last a short time.
Totally agree with your statement 👏
On average modern concrete will start to lose PSI strength slowly after 50 years and could become brittle after 100 years. Our Moden concrete like newly built So-fi stadium In Los Angeles, the concretes could be 12000 psi. Such a structure could be able to last a few hundred years, though this high PSI strength was just a pipe dream 15-20 years ago.
It would be something if a core sample could be taken on such old world structures & a concrete strength test was performed.
I worked on the King's coronation event illuminating the Newcastle bridge and was told about the original Newcastle bridge that also had dwellings, shops, markets etc.
Apparently it was destroyed in a catastrophic blast when a brewery vat exploded and not only took out the bridge but a vast area of the riverside and town. Plenty of magnificent buildings and quirky paths and alleyways to stimulate the mind if you're interested in hidden history. Great work as always Jarid.
Giants built that for sure !
Giant beings.
It's funny that ancient England was know as the land of giants....
You speak fire. That first construction picture looked like the parts were 200+ yrs old.😂
I have walked across it. It is a wonder as is his other very different equally astonishing railway bridge over the Tamar - which still carries trains from Devon to Cornwall and is sheet metal pure algebra as opposed to the mysteriously anachronistic art deco pylons of this structure built mostly at the height of another early industrial shape of things to come - the American Civil War. Excellent material thank you.
Whose? You said "His," of whom do You refer? Brunell?
Obviously I mean Brunel's Royal Albert Bridge which is also called locally the Tamar Bridge. I forgot that it is not obvious that the 1960's suspension bridge was constructed effectively directly next to it - which at least gives you an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of IKBs engineering at close quarters; though crossing it very slowly in a modern train is a very special experience as the infinity sign it resembles seems animated....
I visited Bristol in 1979. Itis,indeed, a most beautiful construction, worthy of the sumptious geological setting over the River Avon. Of course then I did not think to question the dateline and narrative.
Excellent presentation, and you're real close to 100K subs. Keep it up Jarid.
I really enjoy what you share with us,
May 2024 be your year.
Chains..how interesting,and heavy that is.
Lighter than the chains of the fallen angels, who kept not their first estate and broke the rules. Freemasons must be in awe.
I understand you're accustomed to praise, but really, can't get enough of the photographs and your narrative. I'm from Portland, Oregon, and your historical visit there was right on: the long gone cast iron buildings on First Street, Stumptown become the Rose City, the Clearing between Ft Vancouver and Oregon City, surpassing them both as the metropolis of the Valley and beyond because the Ross Island Bar prohibited a deeper port . . . very well done and to the mark. Thanks.
Timeless Masterpiece Bridge😊
I was in Bristol a few months ago for work and drove under the bridge and up the cliff on the way to and from work. Lots of old architecture and construction the whole area is fascinating
"First" swing bridge in UK was the tyne in Newcastle, they also have a Tyne Tunnel going underwater, but the bridge is very interesting- The bridge itself stands on the site of an original mediaeval bridge built in 1270 and possibly even a Roman bridge on the same location.
Then by 1890 they had an apparent giant leap in bridge construction and constructed The Forth Bridge in Scotland...
Growing up in Bristol of course I have crossed this bridge. I used to walk over it with my mother and two of my brothers to get to Leigh Woods. My brothers used to swim in pools over there. My mother was always pretty nervous about crossing the bridge with 3 kids.
I’ve been over it. Even the gorge looks man made.
Dude Perfect this is really impressive find doing good
So Isambard Brunel was born in 1806 and designed the bridge in 1830 at 24 years old? That’s unlikely.
My great grandfather is from Bristol and there’s no record of his ancestors. It’s as if he just popped out of the ground.
I've been digging up my family roots from the graves like a Bohemian Mad Scientist inspired and motivated by Dr Frankenstein, and financed by Count Dracula, I'm the one of their gang that likes to howl at the full moon while helping my best friend with the bandages he's wrapped up in. I'm finding a blockage at around 1800 after Holy Roman Empire was destroyed and Republican Revolutions began. Descendants living today don't want history known before their family emigrated from Europe, and have different religions or class. Another difficulty is that it seems a flood went over British isles in 1700s destroying grave yards and leaving few survivors with newly vacated lands that foreign Europeans emigrated into, records seem to stop there at that time.
@@bookofrevelation4924 I need a financial benefactor like that. Dracula must be filthy rich. My known ancestors are Freemasons on my dad’s side and morticians on my mom’s. Scoundrels!
@@DouglasMosley759 thanks for the conversation.
A community and profession that knows where all the bodies are buried, between the both of them,
very interesting.
In 1833 (age 27) Brunel was appointed as chief engineer of the Great Western Railway, was in charge of the project to link London to Bristol through a 124-mile railway route. Brunel (age37) launched the SS Great Britain, the largest ship of her time. Can't find his age for the bridge design.
Awesome vid as always, we all appreciate your work
Yes! ❤
I think it is definitely old world. Looking at the height of the arches over the roadway at either end I wonder if it was a pedestrian bridge for a taller 'giant' race just like the huge entrance doors in old world buildings
Makes sense!
Perspective. It was renovated
I have been on it!😊 the only changes I saw was paint and newer electric cables and lights. And those links are massive.
They are always painting it.
Just learned the tourist attraction a few miles from my house called Crossroads Village has several buildings from 1800s donated by significant wealthy people and institutions from around Michigan to relocate there as an open air museum.
Now just thought, what if the donors know there's secrets hidden in these selected examples to preserve for their interests by placing them in open site within open air museums financed by the public?
A thorough search of them all may be warranted.
Just looked to see what links appear searching Open Air Museums Worldwide, and astonished at the volume.
What stood out superficially is 6 States with much longer list than others, California/New York/Pennsylvania, Texas, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
Crossroads Village here is listed as one of four in Michigan.
longtime viewer love your research here
I drove under that bridge last week! 👍🏻🇬🇧
Howdy ya’ll The towers look like big capital A's!
Brunel was the man and the Clifton is the coolest bridge by far
How mighty the coverup Great to have whistleblowers such as you
Yup...visited back in the 80's. :) Absolutely stunning place. I thought the foundations of the towers looked like from Roman times...who knows...very impressive, any case.
Probably 500 year old bridge, Past civilizations had better technology and intelligence than today.
Yes I’ve been on this Bridge, it has a feel that it was built in the same era as London Bridge. I personally believe London Bridge is way older than they say
Always very interesting on these structures. It always makes me think of “fallen angel”technology.I still question Mount Rushmore.Thank you and keep up the great work!!
I agree with you 100% 👍👍👍😘😘😘❤❤❤
Fantastic, great job Jarid.
YOU'RE GETTING CLOSE TO 100K BROTHER !!!!!
Thanks for this awesome
I wonder if the Ancient Ones of the Old World used dirigibles to create these beautiful functional works of art . . .
Those pictures of the workers looked like cartoons digitalized. I call cap
The pic of the chains hanging looked shopped.
GREAT WATCH. Isambard Kingdom Brunel along with Joseph Bazalgette and Augustus Pugin have to be three of the best engineers to come out of the UK.
They all sound very English!?
Isambard Kingdom Brune/Born Portsmouth, United Kingdom
Joseph Bazalgette/ Born Clay Hill, London, United Kingdom
Augustus Pugin/Born Bloomsbury, London, United Kingdom@@mac-qt3wd
Thank you 🙏
I think that this 10 min. video on one specific structure is much better.
Thanks!
3:58 the “magic eye” effect worked - it could be seen in “3D” - never tried that before - wow
I live in England, I have never met anybody who has said that their parents, grand parents or great grand parents were involved in the the construction of magnificent buildings.
Nice keep it up as always thanks for the time u take to make these videos keep cranking the good stuff
just awesome....distributing weight and what the past unfolds before us.....a future striving to go forward with a past saying this was your forward.....to consider it all /
the lord having so much than what's ever been presented as a past....thx jarid .....1000 completed...forever in sight .
I grew up there and the bridge foundations always seemed mysterious. I just couldn't imagine them being built. Next to it is Ashton Court Estate which has boundary walls boundary walls over 20ft high in places going for miles and miles. I couldn't imagine how they got those built either.
Draft horses and multiple tiered pulleys could easily pull the cables and lift the stone to each level using wooden blocks and cross-platforms that are raised as elevation increases.
Wooden cranes were amazing things.
Correct, it’s beautiful but not a relics of ancient times. Good workmanship, with newer steels and iron.
Good call. Very reasonable conclusions my friend 👍
Honestly mate, there is such a high concentration of this stuff in the UK. From "Brunel" to Crystal Palace. To our many castles, cathedrals and abbey's. Common all around Europe and the world but perhaps less density.
Good work.
I agree ////////////////// This was built a long long time ago and still standing. Nothing we build today lasts that long ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
@anthonypaulnoble figured it out: There are caves below the bridge where Giant Trolls live . . . and the bridge, built by Trolls, has been a troll . . . ahem . . . toll bridge ever since.
Just watched this video on a page on telegram! So glad I did and I have now subscribed ❤
I live in a Market Town in England that has a stone pillar type monument in the middle of the cobbled Square in the centre of the town. It is said that this was erected just after WWII as a memory of those who fought in both world wars. It’s specifically used for Remembrance Day. There is a black and white photo from 1939 of this area before it was constructed. To be honest it looks like the monument has been rubbed out with dodgy photoshopping techniques! One of my neighbours is 90 years old, he has lived in this Market Town all his life. He said that this monument has always been there since he was little. Looking at the houses and the design of the monument I’d say that this was a mini obelisk and contributed to the source of free energy for the surrounding old houses …. sort of like a wifi tower
There’s ancient archways along the river side if you look closely.
That thing is a behemoth of a bridge
I like the Health Safety protective balustrades around the foot of the tower nearest to us .Those are usually only installed in Victorian promenadal sea fronts.Was that actually a finished picture of Brunel's bridge, attempt? I used to think it was a picture involving preparatory work in supporting something or raising , but it doesn't connect to the opposite bank's tower , so that thing you see being suspended is the actual bridge, it even has the same balustrade as the one on the left tower and the 'bridge' sags under the weight.The crappy wooden scaffolding, next to all those steel cylinders laid out perfectly and almost end on end like a big grill towards the 'brick'
tower.with the workman in his lunchbreak sending us an idea of scale? irdk.lmao
I love Jarid's song
Love
Much of this area appears man-made; clif structure appears to be not shown on the top figure of schematic. Does that clif foundation side have a castle near it?
your voice seems improved ! - deeper and more confident ! :)
would be interesting to find out how they construct bridges today, what kind of machines ... and then it's obvious. how in the world could they do that with horse and buggy lol
Place called the city of 5 bridges have this bridges twin and its a very very old city
Brunel is like the 1st Industrial Elon ,, interesting...
Rad👍
Ancien man was smarter and built better than we are now!
From Bristol and very much into the old world… the tunnel systems are all over the city… a lot of structures in that area close to the bridge and all around the city.
Got bombed to fuck in the war so a lot was lost, however a lot is still there, those woods next to the bridge are artificial and clearly built on top of something.
I was lucky to go inside one of the basses, it was huge & made up a multiple chambers. There is also a funicular railway ( The Clifton Rocks Railway ) next to the base of the bridge leading from the portway ( A4 ) up to Clifton. It was abandoned years ago. The remains of the lower station can still be clearly seen from the road.

czcams.com/video/pKWj19-aj7Q/video.html ( Inside the base of the suspension bridge )
Beautiful pictures, looks like 1860’s to me.
Ace
What they told us about the construction is absolutely true. 1860’s great craftsmen and new steels and iron. Not ancient at all.
Would love to have seen the orig w/stores incl. Similar more modern bridges req mult yr process to design incl special software and team of prof’ls.
Namaste Brother J
I live in London (not round the corner from the bridge... what a big world😂"
But I've been over it many times and even as a smaller version of me, I wondered how it was possible.
Your work is inspiring
The fact seems to be that as the Tao Te Jing says.
He who knows knows nothing
Non of us, I feel in the open spirit posse know any truth
But we can totally see the lies.
BTW
Namaste, isn't just "I bow to you"
It's
"I bow to an equal part of the great spirit"
Namaste Jarid🙇♂️
😀👍
Its sadly known as lovers leap
I heard a story, and probably just an urban legend, but in the Victorian era a lady tried to jump off the bridge but the big dresses they wore in those days acted like a parachute so slowed her descent into the Avon!
The size of the chain links behind Brunel....that's a whole video there. How many links and how are they hanging...they are all of uniform size....
It looks like Google street view didn't drive across the bridge. I guess they couldn't afford the toll.
😂😂😂😂
same with blaise house bristol
2:04 is that snow Jarid?
the stalagmites in the caves under look far longer than they should be
Call me an idiot, but what about the photos with the roadway missing? Were those taken by the other civilization?
How do you do this on a ball Earth
That's another question.
I think it was the late Alan Watt who said Oxford and Cambridge were as old as 'Ancient' Greece and Rome and in fact it was there that the Greeks were sent to be educated, ancient Albion being part of the old era. Allegedly over 800 huge buildings were destroyed in England starting with the Norman invasion. It seems the Normans were the ones who enforced the great reset in England when they destroyed half the country for no reason. There's also the alleged comet explosion incident of around 572 that destroyed England ( and impacted all of Europe) and that's the reason the Anglo-Saxons were asked to come. Nothing in history is real.
It’s a small world but I wouldn’t want to have to paint it.
Inherited
It looks extremely old and the guy was 24 or 26 when he designed it lol
And these competitions lack details. Or I've never seen them. it's not an actual architectural drawing is it?
I didn't see measurements or numbers
ye it needs super drones or Helicopter, or they use Zeppelins 😜🤪 What are the foundations made of and how?
with what technique!!!?? it is not cement with stones
I wish I could have lived in this Grand age.
Before, the evil-liars arrived in this realm.
War and destruction are all they know.
They don’t build anything grand, they claim it as their own.
Pretty pathetic, claiming that, which you can not do, yet seek to destroy it.
Yea they got one in Cincinatti just as old, dude your tripping, these were modern construction just like they had steam ships steam shovels/suez canal/1850/40's AND you know nothing about photography.
This is a garbled mess of confused, conspiratorially paranoid ramblings that’s littered with factual inaccuracies, such as the Bristol Bridge being an entirely different bridge, and the riots were caused by toll prices, not the closer and destruction of a bridge, etc.
No idea how I stumbled into here, but I actually lived around the corner from this bridge around 2010
Was this suggested to you by CZcams because they picked up on the knowledge you lived near there and have history with it?
YouKnow CZcams and their great conspiracy.
I'm here to help you, we can figure out the cause of your stumbling together. Do you find yourself stumbling often and not knowing why?
Fill us in then genius
The ramblings of a lunatic indeed. Read your post. You're illiterate.
Lets see your evidence then another troll who’s only pleasure is playing with a console
8:26 totally agree with you
It seems old world. The fact that it’s formed in to the rock shows meltage 🧱
