- The World’s Oldest Continuously Operated Railway, Constructed on Moor Road, In the Neighborhood of Hanslet, in 1758.
Hanslet, being a neighborhood of Leeds, England, has a unique building design - Red bricks everywhere. Plus, a history that is very “convoluted”.
Here are some unique images and excerpts about the World’s First Railway (Still in operation) and the surrounding neighborhood of Hanslet. Enjoy. - Zábava
Hi. Love your videos.
I used to live not far from here as a child and grew up in buildings similar to this. The pots on the top of the chimneys on the roof are for the fireplaces, usually one in every room. Even bedrooms and bathrooms have fireplaces in them, and each fireplace requires a brick built chimney to the roof ending in a chimney pot. Four or five chimney pots per house is usual. The last house I lived in had 15 pots for 15 fireplaces. The old servant bell system was still in operation to ring for the maid, etc, to bring more coal for the fire. Unfortunately, no one used to turn up when I used to ring them as we could not afford the servants.
I lived in hunslet carr in the early 60's,brought back memories.Great video,thanks for posting. oh by the way the chimmnys were real,every house had coal fires.
Middleton Railway is still running.
Staffed by a great bunch of dedicated volunteers who work hard to keep it going.
My family spent lots of time here when my kids were younger. The place is magical, historical and fun.
Well done to those great people who keep it running .So good that people care❤xx
Thank you for this video and for showing an interest in an old and proud district of Leeds.
As an American (apologies if this is wrong) and a stranger, you may be off the mark at times, but this is to be expected and in no way diminishes your interest and enthusiasm for dear old Hunslet.
I am pleased that you appear to appreciate the Hunslet area. I only wish that you could have met its unique and special people whom, I am proud to be one of.
Hunslet created the wealth of Leeds with its industry. Hunslet and it's people were unique. A strong community. Kind, generous, supportive people, rich in compassion. Salt of the earth.
Leeds slum clearance policy decimated Hunslet . Fragmenting and dispersing an entire community.
Leeds corporation in their ignorance called it progress. By dispersing a historic community they commited a social crime. Question! Was the provision of an inside toilet and a bath a fair exchange for the rape of a community? I think not. How much is a community worth? What price a good neighbour?
Progress is good. Bulldozing an entire community isn't progress.
Whole lot of fun with Mud and Bricks here...keep up the good work! LUV BEAGS
Back to my childhood, I'm 75 now great memories
The Tetley name is on a tea company in America!
Red bricks, red bricks, everywhere, red bricks through out the world! Growing up my family moved constantly, 2-4 times a year, north, east, south and west, through out the continental USA, every town we lived in had red brick buildings, and some still had functioning red brick streets. Further, in all towns, they were destroying those red brick buildings, as for the red brick streets, they were black topping them.
I wondered why, every town had the same style of buildings in them and the towns were laid out the same.
Obviously, there was a world wide civilization, that used the same technology and building methods.
Seeing this, I always wondered, how separate towns, in different states, used the same red bricks, where did they come from, how did they get mega tons of red bricks from a central foundry out to those far flung communities or were they made locally. It was a mystery to me!
I lived in Leeds for 8 years, if I was still there I'd be checking out Hunslet, boots on the ground! New subscriber here, so many really great new alternative history channels in my arsenal now!
Excellent. Much enjoyed. If you want another project in UK you might have a look at Claybury Hospital. I researched it myself and found it a classic candidate for repurposing. It's also got some wonderfully gothic buildings.
Keep up the good work, your videos are well presented and you have an excellent talking voice.
Only a few of us know it, but this subject is at the very cutting edge of hu.man endeavour at this moment in time. The secrets are encased in the architecture, I keep telling people.

So glad I found your channel. PS: Great audio levels on this one, where you can clearly hear your narration over the music.
I live in a Victorian house (UK) not too dissimilar from those pictured.
I'd have to say you're on the wrong track, as regards those 'tek' items on the roof.
They are multi chimney stacks. Almost every room in the Victorian home had a fireplace, and it is true that many of these were eventually sealed, though the fireplace often remained as an ornament.
However, I'm not trying to burst your bubble, because your video's are interesting, and I hope you keep producing more!
Dude that’s like 80 billion bricks! Where in the hell is the brick factories at??
I think we're looking at one location of brick factories. You can dress up a factory and make it look like a house, but it's a factory.
They were all over. Heavy industry was commonplace
I lived in Hunslet for years... It is most definitely a creek of the huns
nice photos
Very cool 👍 I'm loving your vid's -
I live 60 miles from here. I lived in Beeston at one time but worked in Hunslet. The Vickers tank factory is fairly close too. Named from Queen Victoria's nickname and owned by the crown to this day.
I live five mins away from Hunslet..my area has all kinds of strange structures,I’ve seen loads of huge buildings demolished in my lifetime and I’m only 46
Many train engines for around the world have been made at Hunslet...
Train engines were made worldwide. There was pretty much the same technology and architecture everywhere - with minor variations of course- at some point during the glorious past. The puzzle is yet far away from being understood.
@@FictionCautious You win the prize for the most puzzling reply ever to a CZcams comment.
Jarid! I think you found a location that mass produced Old World bricks. That chimney-tech was designed with intent. We've seen many different types of Old World "chimneys" and smoke stacks. Why so many different types? Maybe those buildings needed a ventilation system because, bricks are baked in massive ovens. What if that type of chimney-tech is the smoking gun? Could be ironworking, but I'm leaning towards bricks.
I do find it surreal that we seek to piece the past together. We are the descendents of its' legacy...
... Then, this Moor/Hun village/city of master brickmasons for generations is given to a freemason.
I'm watching this again!
I actually live on what's left of Moor Rood Middleton railway is still going staffed by volunteers runs on a weekends on original tracks up to were one of the many pits used to be , there were many in the area now known as Middleton Woods intact if I'm right we also hold the record for one of the earliest types of put shafts The area now of HUNSLET is a inner city extremely deprived area of Leeds Most of the old black and white photos show what the area looked like and I infact grew up in streets very similar we call them Back to Back houses mostly no inside bathrooms toilet up street usually shared with a couple of other families we bathed in a tin bath Infront of fire once a week and had to be filled with hit water boiler in pans on a open coal fire commen practice right up till late 60is when most of theses type of houses were demolished . Although There are still quite a number of old type house still left across from what you refer to as The Railway station which is no longer a station but a yard were the railway volunteers restore old engines
My grandmother told me about the fire places in old houses. I live in Boston and a lot of homes still have old fire places. She said they weren’t for wood to be placed into. She told me that gas came out and they lit the pilot to warm the house or building.
John Cook has mentioned You. Great work.
Such awesome and incredibly detailed information. Thank you.
I own just such a house, in London. They ARE fireplaces and the pots of top of the building ARE chimneys. I have seen photos of a great many more suspicious re-purposed buildings, which seem to be missing chimneystacks.
i live there now. the chimneys are just chimneys.
i've lived and worked in and on these houses all my life. they are the exhaust flu for coal fires.
brilliant footage btw.
I enjoy your work so very much Sir ! thank you so very much .
good
I was at Middleton railway back end of last year, they still do a steam train run up the hill to Middleton park at the weekends. Peter O'toole was born in either Hunslet or Hunsbeck, as Hunsbeck grew it was seperated to two areas Hunslet and Holbeck, He was a guest on the Michael Parkinson where he talked about it, i would think the interview would be available on CZcams?
My surname is Middleton and i was born in hunslet. In 1972 . I roamed that town. A dirty place but loved it. 🏴
I believe some of the old "fireplaces" were warming places with radium heat?? I saw a video put out by Jon Levy that explained something to that affect. It was harmless, free heat. So much we just were not taught. Thanks for your research.
They had thing that looks like those chimney things back then called Central heating, I believe I remember reading something about that.
About the oven with no attached pipe. I think it was in a Jon Levi video, he showed both pictures an advertising of Radium heated ovens. A swedish guy back in the days took advantage of this ´element´ and made some copyrights, then later it became nuclear energy. His claim back then was that ´he had found´ an energy source 10.000 times more effective than the same amount of oil. I found this info on Carl Norbergs channel.
I live a 5 minute walk away from the railway.
These "chimneys" are technology to create heat or cold creating vacuum through suction, they alter electrons.
My first job i ever had was working there - 46 years ago, hunslet born an bred, Yorkshire till the day I die
Some of the 'fireplaces' had radium heaters in them.
Check out the Plank Road in California. There is a video on youtube showing this oddity.
Link?
Joshua Tetley's "tied houses" was the name of all the pubs who bought & sold Tetleys beer. They were tied to the Tetleys brewery, only able to sell their beer., i.e. Tetleys pubs. They didn't own the residental housing in Hunslet.
Melvin. Joshua Tetley did own some of the housing near the brewery. Any employee could apply
for one. They were the usual red brick back to back type. My old neighbour, an employee of Tetley, actual rented one when he was newly wed.
. Tetley's were good employers who looked after their workers. Several generations of families would be employed at Tetley.
conductive materials spotted 😎
This shocks me, I live 10mins from here🥴 Great Vid👍
There's a locomotive at the park here you look at it and some of the iron is 3/4 in thick I've always questioned the logistics and the advancement we had in the mid 1800s knowing what I know now it's just ridiculous there are different gauges of tracks different rail lines out in the middle of nowhere that are abandoned now and then coupled with the fact that they were smashing them up like a car derby in the 1890s early 1900s as an attraction you know for a fact they are another technology that was clean.. from the old world.
What I'd like to find is the smelter and rail producers that took raw ore and produced finished steel railroad rails.
I've looked all over North East USA and only find 'puddling furnaces' , capable of making a couple of hundred pounds, at best, of wrought iron - too soft for rails.
England burned coal during this time (in vast a amounts) for cooking, heating, for whatever. The pipes coming out of the tops of the chimneys went to separate coal fire heaters. The (antiquetech) on top of all the buildings was lightning rods. If lightning were to strike an unprotected building fire would more than likely follow, and in a time of the literal bucket brigade, fire is the last thing any one wanted to see, it could easily destroy whole neighborhoods and maybe even the city…
Stacks on the buildings resemble heat sink on a modern lipo battery
They are "chimney" "flues" from different floors. Some designed to burn coal/wood, some heated with "Iridium". Both cross used and miss understood.
I've lived in Hunslet all my life all my family was born and raised in Hunslet if you want to know about Hunslet get on a plane come and see for your self would not call any where else home.. The best people you will ever meet your welcome any time. P.S not been like that for 40+years cheers Paul T
😅the reference to tied house estate only refers to the public houses or bars as you call them in US.
Each house had a least one fireplace indicated by the number of pots on the chimney stacks.
i live in louisiana in the city i live in we have multple parts of town with moor in it also have a moorish temple still im 10000% convinced my city was a moorish city mudflood evidence as well amazing old world churches still here as well
My home ❤️
You should do a video on that guy with the brewery
i drove to vegas a couple months ago you can see city by city town by town same builders
Another thing to look for in the architecture might be a lack of chimneys together with a long antenna-like rod or its remains. Wireless energy was a suspected feature of Tartarian technology....
re; 6:35 Brick chimneys require a ceramic flue-liner. Those are flues sticking above the brick part of the chimney.
I live near here.
I wonder what our royal family members thought , when they saw these areas and the state of the housing stock.
Further more..for themoor....
Thankyou, yes the Manor House Landowner Barons and Titled People....and workers in small cottages....eg Cadbury built a village called Bournville
Fryslan cities are named hanse cities
One important thing I noticed is the typical tell-tale sign of mud-floods: the visible one or two feet of arched windows above the pavement level; with the rest apparently buried below, just like we see all over the world. And muddy roads, not yet paved. Same story everywhere.
The floor below pavement level were called cellars. Accessed by internal stone staircase. I lived in such a house in Hunslet . Coal was kept in these cellars. It was shot into the cellar externally via a grate set into the pavement. Some cellars had two sections, one for the keeping of coal and the other for storage. My mother would use it to keep perishable food . No fridges in those days.
@@christinepollock5358 I'm sure houses have been built with basements and cellars. But I seriously doubt that buildings which have fully constructed ornamental and arched actual windows and doors were built as cellars. They're two separate constructions. I haven't implied that all below street level construction is mud floods. I'm using my common sense to understand the difference.
@@leilihana2991 Iive in Leeds and have lived in houses just like these and can guarantee that they were indeed built for the purpose of storing coal
You didn’t mention Hunslet rugby league club.
SALUDOS
BUEN TRABAJO
QUE NOS PUEDES DECIR DEL HIPERLOOP Y EL DISEÑO DE PICADILLY CIRCUS?
The houses you are talking about owned by tetley are taverns or public houses.
Belfast N Ireland is 90% red brick apparently from the red clay in the reclaimed land
According to the US patent site, adding blood to the cement/mortar made it stronger. 😬
chimneys for fireplaces in living room, coal fire smoke release. no more fireplaces due to causing smog
10 miles away me
west yorkshire is full of ancient tartarian architecture. the calder valley leading up to todmorden especially. the town of todmorden is quite pivotal in terms of the quaker and unitarian link to the americas and the abolition of slavery movement that started in england.
search for pictures of 'the ukrainian club todmorden'. comment what you think.
Yeah. let's let these beautiful old buildings sit here to rot and decay ... doesn't make any sense ... good video
a large amount of bricks. also doorway arches made of brick. some say this very difficult to achieve. what about toilet facilities?
This type of back to back housing didn't have inside toilets. One outdoor toilet was incorporated into
the terrace and house in a yard. It served three houses. Each household would take turns to clean it . No-one missed their turn and the level of cleandliness was a matter of pride. Every household kept to their own block and no one would trespass. It was daunting when needing to use the facility to find that it was already occupied and one had to wait nearby in Order to get in before anyone else turned up.
The toilet pot was housed in a wood bench type seat with a overhead cistern operated by a pull chain.
The seat was high for small children and my feet wouldn't reach the floor.
Calling the heating panels, for lack of actual meaning, a fireplace that has no chimney is just, well, it's stupid. It's no wonder these places burned down frequently back in the day. Idiots were living in them. I've seen pics of places that had or still have this tech working. The far away places that few get to see. Makes me wonder if people know what they have and what for and how they use it. It would be intriguing to see it first hand. What materials were used and how it was done. All the old world building here in America have been striped, the survivors that is. We have precious few to admire...
Water towers..
Dude some great shots of Hunslet...........BUT the rest of the info is so far of the mark you would not believe sorry
They are chimneys on top of the houses. They are not ornamental lol.. I work in Hunslet/Beeston. All my family is from Hunslet and belle isle.
Its like pullman man you think before internet man could.do nothing hell they did everything without it know I lived thru it
There fire places we burnt coal
Nothing new here I’m from england
Great content, loving your vids. Also, i showed this to Paul cook the other day, this vid is just an urban explorer but the footage is interesting: czcams.com/video/Xgdzue6fAlI/video.html - its of the liverpool-manchester railway with crazy huge architecture in the moorish style, even an arch called the moorish arch which, of course, they 'hadddd to knock down' (see 19:00 in the vid). Anywho, keep up to bro thnx again!
The mud flood is in the bible and provides us indication of where we are im the timeline.
Mudflood 1800. 1780 Cretins became Crestian aka Christian...

Those are chimney pots on top of houses in groups of three dude its not tech
I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS LISTENING TO HERE, YOU GOT SO MUCH WRONG REGARDING THE BUILDINGS AND TETLEYS HOUSES WHICH REFERRED TO PUBLIC HOUSES ( BARS ) THAT SERVED TETLEY BEER AND ALES. ALL HOUSES BACK THEN HAD COAL FIRES IN THEM THAT BEING THE REASON FOR MANY CHIMNEYS ON THE ROOFS. THE AREA WAS SURROUNDED BY COAL MINES AND QUARRIES THAT PRODUCED THE BRICKS. MORE RESEACH REQUIRED NEXT TIME.
Every building has several fireplaces..what you see are chimney pots on top to keep the wind from blowing back down and stops the crows and particularly 'Jackdaw's who frequently build nests down unused chimney s ..The Moor road has nothing to do with the Moorish culture ..The road leads out onto the wild 'Yorkshire Moors ' as in the" Hound of the Baskevilles " ..Architecture like all over industrial North of England Scotland Northern Ireland ..You my man are way outside looking in and getting a totally wrong read of everything...stick to the USA and places you have some clue of...The 'Huns' giving their names to this town...lol..sorry dude but your head is baked on everything today..all wrong..
You obviously use Wikipedia in your "research" but even more obviously you only read what you want to read. It said that the word Hun was an Anglo Saxon personal name,so named after someone called Hun.
As for the significance of moor,it has nothing to do with the Moors of North Africa and everything to do with the Yorkshire Moors,one of the largest expanses of heather moorland in UK. Where Conan Doyle set The Hound of the Baskervilles,Sherlock Holmes?
Don't you have downpipes for your guttering in the US? That's what those columns are. It was quite common for the big industries in the Industrial Revolution to build workers accommodation,that way the workers were always close by,they paid their rent to the company and probably were paid in company tokens which could only be used at the company store,a win win for the company.
Of course the chimneys worked,the fireplace or the kitchen range were the only source for heating and cooking in the houses,not some fantasy tesla device. The reason the buildings have been demolished or left to rot is because the have no plumbing,no electricity and probably one toilet/outhouse in the backyard for the use of 10 or 20 households. Basically a slum by any definition.
If you are going to try and rewrite history then try and make it convincing.
I always like to hear someone regurgitate the current narrative in a defensive manner. I never claimed I was “rewriting” history. If you truly believe the name “Hun” is a common surname and not at all related to the Huns / Mongols / Tartars, and you truly believe the current narrative the history books tell us, what are you doing here? I appreciate your insight, but nothing you said has convinced me to believe what the history books tell me. Thanks for taking the time to leave your comment, but I’d rather use my senses instead of rewritten history books to decide what I see.
Would historical revisionism cover it then rather than rewriting history?
Why not place your mainstream, institutionally authorized, version of history in suspended animation for only a moment; meaning, what would you lose if only for a moment, allow for yourself to consider, you, I, and everyone trained in mainstream history was lied to, and even purposefully deceived? Indeed, you are free to watch in CZcams: When the Moors Ruled in Europe, Bettany Hughes, for another perspective.
Those people here are do uneducated it is amazing. I mean there are millions of books written within the since Gutenberg none of em talking about those mudflood events ? Cmon man

Just saying it's the oldest railway does not make it so.
How would anybody with the completely fabricated history?
but the line runs through there, and its the oldest
@@charlespawl364 The history you've been handed is fabricated. Question everything.
The English are a reset population just like everybody else.
@Ann-Marie Paliukenas That's called anecdotal evidence, but nice try.
@Ann-Marie Paliukenas The English did not build the railways in England any more than the Americans built the railways in America.
