Something very satisfying about having a good clear out of your back passage.

Have a peek under your concrete, wouldn’t be surprised those lovely cobblestones extend into your back yard!

[@markscarborough1018]

Great find!! My family had been in our Victorian house for over 30 years before I discovered a similar path, likely older than the house. Problem was, it had become so uneven it was unusable and dangerous, so my mum wanted me to cover it all back up. I was only 13 or so, but was having none of it, so I dug it all up, made better foundations and relayed it flat(ish) over the course of a whole summer. Looked great. My back ain't been the same since!

[@FiveToedSloth1]

Well, when I woke up this morning I had no idea I'd be spending 12 minutes watching a Yorkshireman cleaning out his back passage. Good job, and very neighbourly of you.

[@tmmtmm]

cleaning out my back passage is the first thing I do in the morning.

Looks like you may have some more cobbles under your yard’s concrete slab. Happy hunting

[@MOONRAK3R23]

If so that’s going to be one heck of a job trying to remove the cement without damaging the stones. But still definitely worth the effort

[@davidjowett8195]

I hope the neighbours appreciated the effort you put in on their behalf.

[@jamesparsons9068]

The men are probably terrified because their wives are going to say 'go out there and do that! Just like him.'

It’s great to see a bloke who just sets his mind to getting things in order and cracking on with it. Well done for persevering alone. The neighbours probably love you…….

[@LillianKüstenfeuer]

Centuries-old stones that are worth more than gold to me who love the British people and culture so much. Thank you for sharing this moment, Yorkshire deserves you!

[@jeno264]

Wow! What a difference!! 💖💖

[@tcribb5325]

What an awesome neighbor you are! Imagine all of that hidden under dirt and weeds for years, what a shame.

[@Sparrowhawk1962]

You're certainly not afraid of a bit of hard work. What a transformation!

[@crystalfoley9997]

Wow. What a wonderful find and what a difference. Hard to believe that was allowed to be covered up with detritus through the years. Just beautiful. Your neighbors must love you!

[@Agrillot6]

I echo all the other comments but have to say my heart aches for that glorious compost and future compost that was cleared away. Free nutrients for the plants and veggies. Saw some hearty worms in there too 😢

[@lynnew5619]

Your neighbours owe you a huge thank you. It looks amazing and so much bigger!

[@missellyssa]

"Pappa Smurf returning home from gongo hunt." Funniest thing I've seen in days! The comic timing of the letters moving with him was perfect 😆

[@djh1775]

[@alaric_]

This is absolutely lovely! I love reclaiming overgrown areas back into use. And now, the area needs way less maintenance then before and causes less annoynace when looking at it.

[@zitakenny7787]

After all your work making this area safe for everyone, I'd use the wood for your fire anyway. It looks amazing, well done.

[@RocLobo358]

I found a cobblestone terrace in my garden once. It was covered by several beautiful shrubs by this point but I cleared it and would sit in the little area from time to time. It was like uncovering an itty bitty ancient civilization

[@albertolomio]

You're not afraid of hard work and take huge pride into your work. You're an inspiration. Awesome content.

[@Caracal-lm6es]

As a gardener, I am salivating at the possibilities for your garden! Can't wait to see it finished as I'm certain it will be amazing!

[@qwr742]

Yes! All that historical cobblestone and brick walls! Some intentional climbers would be so stunning! And a little courtyard seating area

[@kimlesleymclean6004]

I find this so inspiring. And thank you for letting us hear the sounds of nature instead of music or worse still ,endless talking!

[@MrPhotodoc]

Couldn't help but notice the depressions in the cobbles from countless wagons passing through there over time. A treasure uncovered.

[@oermama]

That’s so beautiful, those old stones, it already looks like a romantic patio. Cheers from the Netherlands 😊

[@AliMunro-r1s]

I hope the neighbours appreciated it too! Well done!

[@Shade11906]

The only thing you could uncover in my backyard is the septic tank, and you'd have to dig down to get to it.

I was wondering that, too. There might even be more lovely cobblestones underneath.

Great job! Reminds me of my garden walkway that was hidden under trash, weed and other stuff, after pressure washing and using a shovel before, you can actually walk down it. Love the "waviness" of your cobble stones, looks like they were forced down under heavy carriages over decades ... Thx for showing! 👍👍👍

[@wormthatturned8737]

Small Skip syndrome! I got that when I ordered a skip about 13 years ago. I only thought they came in two type then. The standard one that fits nicely on the back of the skip lorry and the huge one with the front opening door you can literally wheel your narrow into. My voluptuous neighbour from two doors down accosted me on my skip size as she wanted to dump some of her crap in it and had arranged this secretly with my wife. “Why have you only got a little one, I was told by your wife you had a big one” I have never lived it down! She is a Yorkshire lass bless her!

[@LKBean]

wow! What a satisfying transformation! Maybe your neighbors will be inspired to clean out their section too.

[@mamalovesthebeach437]
