@XPLORE YORKSHIRE Hello. This is an excellent video about Yorkshire. Thank you for uploading. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@nigelleyland166]

What an absolute gem of a vid this is, thank you somuch for posting. For the benefit of future viewers, the Newport Bridge in Middlesbrough no longer lifts, as due to marine traffic changes it has been perminantly locked down, it did not as quoted lift in under a minute but in fact it rose 90 foot in 90 seconds. It was so smooth in operation that if on the bridge when lifting it's movement could not be felt and gave the impression that the rest of the world was sinking. Even though I suffer from vertigo I always love working on this bridge.

Enjoyed that! Love Yorkshire and have been fortunate enough to see most of what you’ve shown. Fascinating to think someone lived that long!

What a great video.

There is still so much to see in Yorkshire, even as it is now, years after this film was made and when boundaries have been changed hither and thither to the point where the Ridings are no more and there is Nortb, South, East and West. The cooker used in the film was a "modern" one with a temperature dial set in it. Older ones used to be without a dial and mothers could tell when it was ready simply by experience and how many fire sticks had been used to heat it. Perhaps it was not the safest form of heating as the long sticks were laid across chairs and periodically pushed under the oven when the end had burnt away.

Brilliant insight, thank you George

Brilliant to see some of my old haunts! We used to have our Yorkshire pudding after the meal to either mop up any spare gravy, or put jam on. I always thought it was weird when leaving Yorkshire that other people have them on their dinner with gravy on. Nice to see that my mam and nana were doing it right all along!

[@geofsharp658]

That’s weird! Yorkshire pudding was designed as a cheap filler. In large families dad would say “whoever eats the most Yorkshire pudding can have the most meat”, obviously that person would be full of YP. This story was related to me by my grandfather, his father was born in 1879. I am assuming that if pudding was left over that would have been eaten up with jam.

He said they should be "served separately before the main course"which is how mi Nan used to serve it.We used to have gravy on ours. God, i don't half miss mi Nan.

[@_bav]

@@Anglo_Saxon1 That's how my mother used to serve YP.... at least until, for some unfathomable reason, she started using wholewheat flour and completely buggered-up the YP to the point nobody wanted any!!!! As they say - nowt as queer as folks! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That Yorkshire Pudding was a bit of an anticlimax

[@pattilley4123]

That's THE flattest Yorkshire pudding I've ever seen.

[@antonycharnock2993]

He even said smoking fat is the secret...facepalm. Interesting old film though.

[@elwolf8536]

Sometimes a big flat Yorkshire is grate you can wrap up your meat mash and gravy in it ☺😋

hi from nz

[@warrenfeatherstone3588]

Ah.....Yorkshire..(which I have been blessed to visit several times)... and it's great Catholic heritage. So many abbeys, convents and monasteries all STOLEN by Henry V111 and given to his cronies. IF only he had been able to keep his zipper closed! Gordon Carter. Adelaide. South Australia.

The Chantry Bridge in Rotherham is on the River Don not, the Rother.
