In this video we have a whistle stop tour of six interesting places in West Yorkshire. I had a day out with KZfaqr AdventureMe. He showed my The largest railway embankment in Europe on the Pudsey loop disused railway line former Great Northern Railway. We also visited the Greenside disused railway tunnel. We also visited the Moravian settlement of Fulneck. We then traveled on on our day out in Yorkshire to Saltaire a famous village constructed by the Victorian mill owner and philanthropist Sir Titus Salt. In the 19th century. After looking at the remains of an old fulling mill by the river Aire we then move on to The remains of an old house. The old 19th century house is called Milner Field built in 1872 for Sir Titus Salt son. We explore the what remains of this old English house on this Urbex day out in West Yorkshire. We also see the Leeds and Liverpool canal. All this is situated in West Yorkshire between Leeds and Bradford.

I’ve wanted to visit this place since then, fascinating place with great history, thank you for bringing us a little closer and showing these wonderful finds. Thank you and Darren for the tour, great knowledge, great history and real presentation with no nonesence. A real shame about Titus Jnr and his mansion but, a credit to those who toiled to build it back then that so much remains. Mosaic floor was beautiful and should be preserved somehow, such a shame but an awesome sight to see. Thank you Martin and Darren, your channels should have WAY more subscribers.

The other thing my parents were very interested in were the Brontes - and all the places associated with them (not just in Haworth).

That was wonderful. I sure miss Yorkshire, I spent quite a bit of time there a few years ago. I mostly was in the Ripponden, Barkisland area but roamed everywhere I could get by walking, train or bus. I would have loved having a tour like this. Saltire truly was impressive, and Titus was ahead of his time for what he did. Patrick Bronte was also a person who cared deeply for the people of his parish and worked tirelessly to clean up the waterways and change the way grave stones were placed as he knew it affected the water conditions that led to even more deaths. I’d love to see a tour of the area, even though I was there many times. It’s beautiful in Haworth.

If that wasn't enough my family later moved to a house near Shipley Glen and I remember walking up the hill beside the tramway from Saltaire regularly. I've been thinking of going back there, no excuse now., it's a great area to explore.

As a Pudsey boy born and bred a right of passage when I was a kid was to walk through greenside tunnel by yourself and your mates would meet you at the other end. Many school holidays spent playing in and around the tunnel and on the embankment and riding dirt bikes as a teenager. Paid it a visit with my wife a couple of years ago and went through a small tunnel under the embankment which the stream flows through. The security door to the tunnel was open too so I had a wander in for old times sake!

You can't imagine the work involved in building such a place. You knock it down and the cellar remains intact shows you how strong it was build just fantastic.

it's amazing how fast the greenery takes over when looking at the old B & W photos. Everything is so green and lush wherever you go, must be all the rain. That item in the mill race looked liked it could have been a stub-up for a valve for controlling the flow of water somewhere. Looks like a lot of thought went into the layout of the TITUS mill, a happy worker is a good worker. At the Milner Field house the cellar must have been over built to be still in sound shape after having the house razed on top of it. Another great Martin video, think I'll go get a cup of tea and play a game of billiards, no milk-no sugar. Thanks again for your work, you two are a good team.
