The more I watch of these the more deeply I appreciate them. Entertaining and educational. I come back and re-watch each 3 or 4 times, just to get it all. The time and effort in researching and production organizing is obviously enormous. Joolz has 49K subscribers but at this writing, less than 75 Patreon supporters. A microscopic pittance in comparison to their value !! I invite other subscribers to make at least a small effort to rectify this imbalance.

One day, we were walking through Trafalgar Square, & he showed me the little structure that is London’s smallest police station.

The base of the column is pointed SSE, however Nelson's head is turned to his right which is SSW. I drew a line approximating the direction of his gaze and, if extended far enough, goes toward the waters off Cape Trafalgar in Spain, the site of his victory.

Did you know that the imperial measurements for length are beside the wall on the National Gallery side of the Square. Before building started on the Victoria Line Tube a group of engineers had to verify the steel bands, (not the empty oil barrel drums} these are steel measuring tapes that are held under tension using an old fashioned hand held weight scale. Reading would be taken by an engineer at both ends, 3 readings would be taken and the average used as the final reading.

@psammiad4 жыл бұрын
That's quite ungracious of Charles not forgiving his executioner - that was the common practice since medieval times. It's not the executioner's fault, he's just doing his job. In fact aristocrats would often tip their executioner to make sure they did a good job and took off the head with one blow. It took three chops to sever Mary Queen of Scots' head, during which she was still alive.

Love your videos. Very informative. However, I have to differ on one point and that’s what you termed an admiralty mark on that kerb stone. I think it’s a benchmark which used to be chiselled into solid locations to mark fixed surveyed points which could be used in future surveys. They can be found all over the UK and used to be recorded on Ordnance Survey maps together with the height or other relevant information.
@Joolzguides6 жыл бұрын
hi. Thanks. I'm glad you pointed that out. I have often wondered about all those marks on the stones. I thought they were stone masons marks. I read this about the admiralty in a book and I rather liked the story. I shall continue to believe it's true since it does no harm. Most of my videos are about myths and stories that I heard "down the pub" and local rumours so there are a few errors. I'm going to hang onto this one for now though!
