My life has taken me all over the world, living in places like Putin's Russia, and serving far and wide with the UK military. I was born in Longwood and find this video full of memories. Places I happily played as a child and to do this day have deep rooted feelings for.

Great video, great history, did you know the saying piss poor came from tanning and was for those who used to sell there urine for tanning in the very early days, but then you have even poorer families who didn't even have a pot to piss in meaning they was so poor they couldn't even sell there urine.

Thank you for this video. Brings back happy memories of my time spent as an intern at John Crowther & Sons in 1974/75.

Alright Kurt .... Thanks so much for watching ....Great to get your feedback.... I am so happy you enjoyed it...

Like Aldebaran 92, I lived in many places in UK and abroad, when doing military service, Singapore, and Aden included. As a boy I lived in Wiliam Street, Crosland Moor, and often walked trough Milnsbridge on the way to the cricket grounds at Broad Oak, Marsden, Slaithwaite and, my favourite, Paddock. So this excellent little video with your knowledgeable chat about the local history of Milnsbridge was of great interest. Many thanks and I do hope to see more of your 'local' videos

[@craigbarnfather5944]

Loved this vlog, so much, very informative, and so beautiful. Great camera work, well done Robert... Thanks for doing your homework, and sharing in your very own wonderful style. See you next time.

[@RobertJohnKerrUK]

Thanks so much!

Looks like you had great weather while you were filming. As a schoolboy, I walked every day from Scar Lane in Milnsbridge, up through Longwood cemetery and past the tower on my way to school at Outlane whatever the weather, sunny, raining or even deep snow. Couldn't do that today!

[@RobertJohnKerrUK]

Thanks so much for your comments Raymond..... and I’m glad the vlog triggered some memories..... The walk to school...in all weather.... they have to be the best times looking back...... Thanks again for watching 👍👍👍

[@anthonypayne1]

Love the history of these places Robert, beautifully filmed and edited as always. It looks like the new camera is a keeper! Atb Anthony

[@RobertJohnKerrUK]

The new camera is starting to feel like a far more creative tool.... And I thank you for commenting on the footage.... I do believe I can give production value with the Lumix G9.... Still learning its strengths and it weaknesses though.... Cheers Anthony.... stay safe pal 👍👍👍

[@joysedgwick812]

My father was the designer at James Sykes in Milnsbridge pre and post war. Is the mill still there do you know? I visited once, the noise of the looms was terrifying. Your Vlog tempts me to travel up when the pandemic leaves us. Lovely filming, thank you.

[@5x5boy]

Very impressed with that camera. Will you be taking your gopro as back up on the coast to coast?

[@RobertJohnKerrUK]

Firstly thanks for watching....and commenting...👍👍👍.... Now the GoPro situation... ha..... I sold all my GoPro stuff and I and a lot...!!!..... This new camera and the new lens ain’t cheap.... I couldn’t justify to myself paying out so much for the G9 and the 8 to 18mm lens...and still having the GPH8... So no I won’t be taking any backup camera...... That said.... During the transition between GPH8 to Lumix G9....I have wondered if I should have kept it..... But that was then..... Right now the learning curve isn’t as steep.... and I am enjoying the amazing reliability of the G9 .... I can be far more creative as well.... Question for you.... I think they will skip the GoPro hero 9 do you ?....And if so what do we expect from the GoPro hero 10 ?.? 👍👍👍
