As an Anglophile and lover of vintage and handmade, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this, and the finished product with that vintage beautiful tile work and mirror were absolutely stunning!

I love how the Daley brothers were included and featured during the opening. Those ranges are amazing along with the tiled wall. We don't have much here in the USA but my grandma would take me.... well, my grandpa would drive, but we would go to Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips in Cleveland.

Never thought that a program about a chippie could be that entertaining and informative. But that place turned out very nice, love the old tiling and the fact that there are ranges of the different pre war style periods, the art nouveau of the 1900-1920s and the art deco range from the old Tyneside chippie. Rare surviving examples considering these coal fired ranges were scrapped en masse with the advent of natural gas.

i used to work with the guy in that fish shop in winlaton he used to work with me on Todds farm in high spen i remember going to that fish shop back in my younger days the range ran on coke not coal and had a very distintive taste on your fish and chips,the coke came from the coke works at swalwell just over the road great times.

Bringing back the way it was! So happy to see this. We must NEVER forget

We've had fish and chips from this lovely chippy in Beamish, they were lovely!!

I'm from Australia and we had fish and chips for dinner tonight. The old fish and chips is still a very popular thing here.

I do not exaggerate when I say I am thrilled to see the old ways returning...the more the better.

W@@W, This Is One Of The Uterly BEST Documentaries That I Have Watched In Many Years! It Is Soo Very Interesting & Intreging To Me, Since I've Known Very Little To Nothing Of This History!? The Whole Building Process, Materials Used & The Final Outcomes Is Spectacularly Marvelous, Soo Much Soo That I Wept For Some Time At The End!? I Don't Understand Why It Had Such A Moving Impact On Me? Other Than Maybe I Have Deep Ties Since I'm 1/2 Scotch/Irish, Been A General Contractor For 45+Years Plus I'm A Chef That Has Owned & Worked His Own Different Restaurants In My Past Also? Thanks Soo Very Much For Your Eloquent Productions & I Would Love To Visit It & Sample The Foods, But Probably Never Will Being I'm Now 67 Years Old & Have Never Planned On Visiting Europe At All... LOL

The passion of the staff, at any living history museum, for their trade is unparalleled.

It's a shame we don't take this much pride in our work places now.

This was great I really enjoyed this from start to end...wouldn't it be cool to visit different places through time..

I’m a huge brick fan. So loved the brick talk at 8 mins

Congratulations, fantastic job! Back in the days they had a sense for beauty even for the simple things in life, that is unfortunately gone today.

I remember Professor Walton from my days at lancaster University a great many years ago. He was and still is, the most interesting and intelligent person I have ever known. Great to see him again with Dan.

why am I craving fried fish and potatoes now ?... 🤦

It sure makes me hungry watching them prepare the food...

I ABSOLUTELY LOOOVED this !!! When visiting England in the fifties, I couldn't get enough FISH N CHIPS ! I also remember, the peas and pickled onions... What a shame more tiles and fryers weren't saved... 😢 ❤ 😍 It just isn't the same here in America !!! THANK YOU for taking me back !!! ❤

Each time I travel back to the North East, fish and chips is the first meal. Just not the same in Canada.

This blew my mind, this answered questions I didn't even know to ask

The Black country living museum has had a 1930's chippy running for years.

They need to build a pie and mash shop too another British classic

Absolutely beautiful fisheries!

So refreshing to see a rebuild designed and built by craftsmen, hosted and researched by men who know what they're doing. This was delightful. Unlike other TV rebuild/renovation programs where the producers heavily edit and script the episodes to make the inexperienced chatty feminists look like heroes.

If you ever get a chance to visit Beamish....do it! One of my favourite places in the world. And those fish and chips are unreal! Made with beef dripping 🤤🍽

Wow, I'm gobsmacked! Great work.

WOW!. Lovely Reel Truth History Documentaries story of life. I lovely visit Fish & Chips Shop. 😀👍🏼

Loved this! Thank you

A lot of comments about “too bad we don’t build to this quality standard today”. Well yes, but labour was much cheaper back then, leaving more $ for building materials and design. Additionally, I suspect that shoddy workmanship also existed. Those are the ones that aren’t around any longer ;)

Old Fred dibnah would have been proud.

My dad built the interior of his Dental office exactly to how he designed it and the quality of craftsmanship is amazing compared to regular offices. He built it with a well on site even though he was on city water in town, his reasoning? Just in case. He used quality wood and lots of extras, drawers and many one of's. Extra electrical panel, fancy window frames, a section of sidewalk that easily turned handicapped accessible later on in years. . . So to those saying that people don't take pride in building today, it's because they aren't looking at the people building their own business offices! You don't know my dad.

The tiles are amazing!

Loved this! I would now like to visit Beamish.

Niesamowite zaangażowanie, godne najwyższej pochwały. Należy chronić dziedzictwo, przekazywać dobre, zdrowe wartości kolejnym pokoleniom! Gratuluję, naprawdę za to właśnie kocham Anglię! Za pielęgnowanie kultury i podtrzymywanie swojego dziedzictwa!👏👏 Pozdrowienia z Polski 👋

The chippy at Beamish Musuem is expensive, but oh so nice.

The best fish'n'chips I've had were in the Black Country Living Museum fried in beef drippings. This would be easier to watch without Mr Cruickshank's commentary because he always puts the emphasis on the wrong part (ie least important) of any sentence.

My father told me that the industrial revolution would have been neigh impossible without the chippy. Generations of my ancestors live off them. When I have kids I'll make sure we have fish n chips at least once a month.

I certainly hope it's still cooked this way when I go visit Beamish after lockdown ends

This is the first episode that I’ve watched. It looks like it could be an interesting series. Apart from a bit of over acting and the dialogue volume too low, (I’m viewing on an iPad), a very enjoyable experience.

Very interesting and beautiful

But back then the fish and chips were wrapped in biodegradable newspaper. Now it has to be plastic containers

In the US we would call fish & chips “comfort food” - something that you crave after a long day at work because it’s so delicious and familiar.

Thank you so much for putting this all together. I am from the States and love fish and fries. I have since looked up what is suppose to be the true recipe for British fish and chips and will be making them soon

Really enjoyed this interesting documentary. Would love to visit Beamish and taste the fish and chips

48:47 Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new pope! 😂

Great documentary, thanks for sharing :D

Brilliant !!

Wonderful video.

The best fish and chips shop in Mayo is in Westport, beside the Wyatt hotal. Fish straight from the Atlantic and chips from local grown potatoes. Wine from SuperValu across the road. Excellent 👌

Just wonderful ❤️

Bradford had 303 Foch and chip shops, now they have 303 curry shops, this is great, because I love curry

Sadly, my local 'Living Museum' the Avoncroft Museum of Buildings has twice been the target of vandals, first time many windows smashed, last week a restored wooden barn burned out. Very sad

I have lived in Canada all my life and my family would go to the local fish 'n chip shop one or two Fridays a month. As England, is supposed to be the place Fish "n Chips originated, I have always wanted to find out what the difference is between the "chippy" in Canada and the one in England. The Edwardian range they used for Fish ''n Chips were really quite beautiful.

The tiles remind me of the Seashell in Lissson Grove.

Absolutely ruddy brilliant!!

Brilliant...We're off to Beamish then💨

Wonderful.

Thanks

Brilliant.. well done..

I wore a cardigan in the 90s. That was a mistake, too.

'Quite a lot of fires and accidents' Presenter laughs

Surely the pots would have been lifted not by hand but by a wooden pole or metal rod. I do this with a strong branch that's been stripped of bark and is fairly straight with our firepit outdoor to move the firepit cover screen, or stoke the fire.

wish they had done more seasons

53:18 That was my first ever job at 11 yrs old at a mobile chippy when they were building a new road close to my home.

now i want some fish and chips and its only 6.45 am lol

We never saw the toilet properly tested lol

I understand you're in a library. But in post editing you could SPEAK UP. Us old geezers don't hear so well. And hearing aids, at $2000 usd/ear, I don't know what that comes out to in English £, is not in every ones budget. Other wise. Excellent documentary. 👍👍

honestly not watched the whole thing yet, any mention of Oldham on here? my hometown, apparantly there is a rumour that the first fish and chip shop opened here.

Notice the way the portion sizes are small compared to today.

Now i'm hungry for Fish and Chips and i don't live near the Sea.

میں بہت شوق سے پرانے گھر نئیے انداز میں بنتا دیکھتی ھوں آپ کے چینل پر جب جب کوئی پرانا گھر سہی اور اصلی خالت میں آ جاتا ھے مجھے بہت خوشی ھوتی ھے

Wow

Can you make your content accessible by adding closed captioning please? without it, it's sadly next to useless watching this.

I fancy some fish and chips now

They should have used lime mortar instead of cement, it will just end up getting damp and damaging the bricks

As a retired Machinist, I cringe while watching bedding compound being removed by hammer and chisel. Carbide 'Fly Cutters would easily remove 99.9% of the mortar. A wire wheel would finish the job...Still a fun watch...

Hehe I like this presenter 🥰🤗🌿✨

Beef dripping, potatoes, cod or haddock battered and fried, mushy peas, butchers paper on top of newspaper, shovel it out, peas in a paper cup, salt and malt vinegar, wrap and run for home so it's still hot and eat up!

No closed captions yet?....

At least the chip wrappers have soy bean oil instead of petroleum ink. Gotta lift the health level above oily curries and rich Stouts!... 😋

2:05 the guy is talking like he has a hot potato in his mouth!

👌🏻😎

Is it possible that the Jewish got the recipe from Germany? Or the other way round?

Who else skipped to the end?

So fascinating and what painstaking passion and dedication! I keep thinking coal-fired = carbon emissions though.

That's not has was, how can it be when they're using modem building blocks.

Fish and chips 🤣😂

Great history. But I have been to Beamish and the fish and chips were the worse I have ever tasted!

There you are Mayor have a chip...OY ya greedy little...

I made it myself. Just take a fast look for woodprix.

French fries actually originated in Belgium.

Bring back our traditional chippy . Boris ?

the volume is awful

Cotton seed oil....YUCK

The ambiguous board climatologically drag because jeep neurophysiologically concentrate excluding a overrated colony. loving, outgoing lyric

The earthy babies acceptably bounce because consonant postsynaptically bang worth a soggy may. smoggy, undesirable morning

You struggle to find a decent traditional fish and chips shop anymore! Most fusion of takeaways just add the fish and chips to their kebabs n southern fried chicken menu. Absolute disgrace

Wish we'd seen more of the building being reconstructed and less presenters and the badly opined history lesson.

An enthusiastically constipated presentation.
