How Was The London Underground Built? | Our History

[@katarzynamuszynska5426]

I live in UK 15 years ,in different towns and different parts of London I love Adam Hart Davies

[@willdjazure]

Wasn't expecting so much of this video to be related to the Brunel's! It's all the more better for it. A great dive into the pre-history of London's underground.

[@mrsgingernoisette]

These vids are better than some schools..

[@Jumbo-k4t]

If you're relying on the Internet for education you're in for a rude shock

[@jacobvidjeskog]

Thank you! This was very fascinating indeed.

[@ReedJacobusJameson]

I watched a documentary on the Victoria line, crossrail, the channel tunnel and the tube lines in general. I did not think i would learn something new here but i did! 😃

[@jwoodzman]

Absolutely love this video and a massive thank you!

[@patrickcosgrove2623]

That was an interesting video on the history of tunnel building under the Thames. Well done!

[@chrismccartney8668]

Hart Davis brings this life !!!

[@AlduinDragonLord]

I used to like watching this fellas programms many years ago when it was on the History Channel, back when they actually did history of course.

[@isnoo1]

I loved this video of the history BUT I LOOOOVE the jacket you are wearing more!!

[@ReapzkiTwoFour]

The lovely water of the river Thames, glowing green lol

[@davidrenton]

the Thames is actually one of the cleanest rivers, actually now is the cleanest river in the world to go through a major city. it might not look like it due to sediment but in the 50's it was biologically dead , now it's teaming with life, it even has Sharks and 125 species of fish.

[@benkonto9499]

Its green due to algea

[@paulf2898]

It used to stink in medieval times,raw sewage and factory waste was dumped into it

[@immortanjoe808]

3.25 it fits right in. Love that community paint job

[@Tube-Shots]

Awesome Video Really Informative. Liked & Subscribed for more Great videos like this 😀

[@alanrobinson847]

I like adam Hart he sounds interested in this stuff and that puts him in the same group as Fred dibnah who was a legend

[@tenfold7493]

Dibnah would have presented the documentary whilst free climbing a chimney with a cig in his mouth

[@Richard-fv7rq]

Really interesting that. Subscribed!

[@JP_TaVeryMuch]

Great demonstration of the different soils under our feet and why there's fewer tubes in South London. 06:00 Thanks.

[@caroleast9636]

Great video about tunnels under London but, with that shirt, that’s Adam Hart Davis for sure ✔️

[@ThiagoApsan]

What an interesting video, great job! 👏🏻👏🏻

I remember that fella when he used to ride a pink and yellow bicycle.

[@markgibbs7531]

Very interesting

[@anastasiamitsos5072]

Brilliant 😍👌so interesting 😍

[@ROCKINGMAN]

The London Underground, first underground railway operating from 1863 but with cut and cover method. First true deep level bored tube from 1890. London Transport operated from 1933 stopped using steam from 1961. Last steam locos ran for British Rail 1968, last for LT 1971 for depot duties. Last completely new line is Victoria line.

[@dalecampbell8181]

Love that shirt!

[@connorleeduckworth8952]

He used to have a pink and yellow bicycle 🚲 At 10 years old I had a picture with my sister with him when he came to Townley hall, Burnley to film “what the victorians did for us” in 2001

[@tufftraveller4784]

He still has one ;)

[@Mt3Dpdrtk]

Did he touch you?

[@richardsingh5827]

Interesting video

[@LarryFogarty]

a room mate of mine in 6 7 worked on the construction of underground...he earned more in a day than i got as a painter for a week...and he was welcome to it

[@TheByard]

We could buy a new Mini Cooper each month, give mum money and still have enough for a few beers and steak dinners.

Presented by Rolf Harris (ROFL).

[@tracypanavia4634]

Thumbnail made me come here for this😂

[@birdshenanigans8506]

[@npr1300A8]

I'm sure he'd appreciate that! Lol.

[@jordanseifarth1325]

Thought the same thing when I saw the thumbnail.

[@gorillachilla]

Now do his laugh

[@TheFatNumpty]

I love this guy but come on, with a shirt that loud did he REALLY need a hi-vis vest? Anyone that can't see him in that needs their eyes tested

[@capowable]

An aussie watching. I stopped at "beautiful stretch of golden sand" 🤣😂

[@moribundman]

Very unfortunate fashion choices for AHD to go for that specs, beard and shirt combo. He looks like he's cosplaying as Rolf Harris. Probably felt his dayglo shell suit and cycling helmet made him look a bit sus but should have stuck to his guns.

[@tonyug113]

Could have done with explaining WHY steam trains couldnt work in the deep tunnels -- Also skipped over most of the underground and when it was started

[@rachelbridger2473]

I'm guessing it's because the smoke from the engines would make it impossible to see down there

[@P1mpMyBr1de]

Dunno who was in charge of wardrobe for this 🤦‍♂️

[@rachelbridger2473]

Its amazing how the tunnels dont cave in

[@CharlieHeavon]

Is that rolf Harris? Haven’t seen him in years

[@stevedonoghue3870]

Dose anyone have any history on a main contractor kinnear& moodie tunnel engineers

[@LordHeath1972]

That's Rolf Harris, surely?

[@oliverflanagan7623]

Why don't we see him on the TV anyone

[@MartinThePanda]

"This beautiful stretch of sand" - that's a bit of a "stretch" mate. 🤪

[@williamwallace4924]

He looks like Rolf Harris

[@paulf2898]

Nah he looks like colonel Sanders 😂

[@Bims-t5b]

This guy is tony Robinson predecessor in my opinion

[@weallfollowmanutd]

Can you tell that it's in yet?

[@jonnysupreme]

"Can ya tell what it is yet?"

[@philgoundry1120]

you took the words out of my mouth

[@webz3589]

Now of course it's part of the overground.

[@caroleast9636]

Seems bizarre to call it the overground but there is a lot of surface track…and it needs a name! 4:03

I wonder if this guys got a mate called Jimmy

[@nigelbuck3162]

Like everything in London I should imagine. By hardworking under paid and exploited workers normally from anywhere in the world but London and eye watering sums of money at the expense of the rest of the country. There mystery solved

[@JP_TaVeryMuch]

Yawn

[@stephenjon3502]

First part is correct Nigel. The bit about the rest of the country is nonsense, if that was the case we could blame the North for giving the UK the worst government in history in the expectation of dividing the uk with the worst kind of self inflicted harm possible.

[@rumpelstiltskin9729]

@@stephenjon3502he’s not completely wrong, a lot of people feel we have a London-centric government that spends more on London and surrounding areas than it does the rest of the country. Especially with all the austerity and cuts rubbish

[@brettbrett9973]

Golden sand ?lol

Can anyone translate this to English

Please trim your beard. You look disturbingly like Rolf Harris.

Why?

So London doesn't really have any tunnels underneath it? What's tosh about the video?
